Quoting: Drshnuckels91
Brandt clarke?
Maybe, but I don’t want to give up on Dahlin yet, and I also don’t think Los Angeles will trade Clarke.
Quoting: sabres89
I guess thats the trick here- is turcotte just a guy to compete for a middle 6 center spot, or is he better? We have our 22 first (im assuming we go center with a top 5 pick), cozens, mittelstadt, krebs, and thompson all fighting for center spots. Im not as psyched about that group as a lot of other sabres fans are. Obviously a few of those guys will end up at wing, but they will have to compete with olofsson, tuch, quinn, peterka, asplund, skinner (for a couple years at least), and maybe a guy like rosen, murray, or weissbach. Sorry for the long reply, im saying "if you dont think turcotte is a #1c on a playoff team, why bother?" You are right though, im just agreeing that if its not a 1c, a very good rhd would be on the short list for me.
I don't see any problems with the attack, even with this roster. We scored almost as many goals as Toronto and Carolina, who are at the top of the table. Our problem is goalies and defensive stability. Our attack scores enough, while we have Eakin, Hinostroza, Hayden, Bjork in our roster. Add Mittelstadt, Tuch, Quinn, Peterka and Krebs and they could have scored even more. Anyway, I would not want to trade Dahlin at this stage, unless it is a very good offer around another young defender, but such trades almost never happen.
