Probably not after what you've done to it.

You traded for Roslo and didn't sign him... I guess he's holding out as an RFA lol

We don't need him dude. Your profile already says it all. Sabres are elite.

Vegas can’t agree to that fast enough. Montour struggled some but is a legit top four d. You’re giving up on Thompson before you really know what you have. All for a 34 year old marginal 2C on an expiring contract

I’ve thought Stastny would be a very good 2C on this team for a while. Especially this year coming, let Cozens get one more year of development.

But no way, it would cost that much to get him. You could keep Montour probably. Vegas may take just take something like Thompson or Mittlestadt straight up for a 5- 6 million dollar savings on the cap.

Then Possibly use Montour in another deal if necessary.

"Can This Roster be Fixed?"

Yes, with patience. As another Sabres fan has posted today, the danger is that Botterill feels the need to make dicey changes in an effort to "win now," or at least contend for a playoff slot in 2021.

The most important thing is to hang on to both of your early draft picks (unless a REAL golden offer comes along, like Cirelli or Domi for that second plus).

A temporary #2C would be nice, until you can sort out who between Cozens/Mittelstadt/#7th overall is going to fill that slot. That will take at least 2 seasons. Recruiting Eric Haula would seem to be the simplest way to accomplish this objective. There are, of course, many other possibilities.

Although the left side of the defense currently looks weak, patience is required there, too, because Ryan Johnson and Mattias Samuelsson should be coming on line in a couple of seasons.

This is a forward-heavy draft. Use it.

Columbus declines. Not near enough for us to have any interest in trading Korpisalo. We don’t need a LHD prospect and Mittelstadt is looking like a bust right now.

Some of these deals are very strange.
