Yeah I guess 7 points in 11 games is semi cap dump.

No center in the trade so BUF would have nixed that... I think you are correct, but right now with Mittelstadt, Cozens, Thompson and Quinn (I think the Sabres are trying him as center as well), the Sabres would have wanted more than this offer not necessarily a center. You are the only one who offered constructive comment regarding the trade. As you can see some even decided to start with an insult, LOL!
Thanks for your comments.
You are all correct that the offer from Vegas is better than this one.
Remember this post was presuming Bergevin and Buffalo were dealing in September, not 10 games into the season.
So put yourself into a time machine consider what could have been offered!
So the purpose of the post was to demonstrate that Dvorak was the wrong center to add and MTL had the assets to make the trade.
I was hoping that most responders would offer suggestions rather than just a categorical no.
I think during the offseason most Sabre fans would have wanted Caufield over Krebs as Cole had just completed and excellent playoff.
Tuch is certainly the best player as he wants to play in Buffalo.
On the other hand trading Suzuki for Jack would not have made any sense for the Canadians, who would have played center for MTL for the first two months?
So the answers I was hoping to receive were centered more on what else needed to be offered.
