Not a bust, haven't lived up to potential...
Lively conversation.
Tim Murray set back the rebuild by at least 7 years, giving away picks, prospects for terrible returns (Gorges, Deslauriers and Fasching for three seconds) and terrible drafting (Reinhart over Draisaitl? and Nylander over Sergachev?).
The Sabres can now build around Thompson, Skinner, Dahlin, Mittelstadt, Samuelsson, and Cozens.
IMO Karmanos and Crowe are now directing the trades and drafting respectively.
After three consecutive good drafts the Athletic has ranked their prospect pool as the best in the NHL with Power the #1 ranked prospect.
Receiving excellent returns from the Eichel, Ristolainen and Reinhart trades.
With Granato getting the most of his players, the dumpster fire has been extinguished.
But to the trade, Jesse is certainly worth a second round pick.
It is hard to envision a RW spot for him when Buffalo has Tuch, Hinostroza, Quinn and Okposo.
Since Rasmus Asplund actually received more Selke votes than Puljujarvi It is unlikely that Buffalo would be giving up a second for another defensive forward.
