The Sabres defense is fine. They need to fix their middle 6 and get a proven 1b

They need a #2 LHD, a #2C, a 1B goalie and a #2RW, that's a lot to ask of 1 summer. Botts will be fired soon

I love Cirelli but there is no way TB deals him.

csick's analysis is spot on #2 LHD, #2C and #2RW are the needs this summer. I feel IF Botts' survives April he knows this is his last shot and he will be extremely aggressive looking for all 3 of those #2's......

When they have a NHL caliber Goalie in net, they hold Washington to 2 goals, d is the last thing they need to focus

I don't see them moving Cirelli. But they're gonna have to move someone my guess is Johnsson or Gourde.

In theory you would probably be able to knock off 2 of #2C, #2LHD or #2RW in a trade with Montreal if you target Domi or Danault, Chiarot or Armia but I have a feeling [I'm usually wrong about these feelings] that it would cost you atleast a first or a good prospect to pry 2 of them away from MTL and depending on which 2 you target potentially more
