The problem i see, besides the retention which i dont think the sabres are interested in, is that youve traded eichel, and the only forward that came back was will carrier, thats where we need help. The 2 firsts are obviously nice, and id give a gold star if i could for at least glancing at the sabres depth chart and realizing that we dont need left d, like at all, but we could use a right d if it makes sense. I think the sabres are looking for that one very good forward prospect and a first, with some other forward prospects coming along for the ride. I can see the sabres retaining on a guy like zibanejad/monahan, somebody who has a year or two left, that has good value, that has leverage to say they arent playing here, but will waive if we move them to a third team, i have a tough time seeing the sabres retain more than a million on eichel, if at all.
