I wanted Adams to trade for Vanecek and Marino before they traded to the Devils. New Jersey did a great job here.

Dach is turning into a steal but out of all of these I think Marino would have been the best add to Buffalo.

He would have allowed them a bigger buffer for Power and Dahlin and a complimentary piece for years to come

Yes, he would be perfect for playing with Power in the second pair. Dahlin is still already RD.

I agree. I really dont know why he passed on Marino... Marino > Boosh and Joker

Dahlin is left handed though, always thought he just played RD because buffalo needed him there not because he prefers it

Boosh is a good defender of the third pair, I would like Marino to replace Jokiharju.

He himself said that he likes to play on the RD more, it is easier for him to attack from this position. He also played a lot of RD in Sweden. Of course, if the situation requires him to play LD, he will play there easily, but right now he is having his best season in the NHL playing RD and is thriving.

Marino mostly. The rest of the players won't be that much needed as the Sabres' prospects grow, but they don't seem to have a Marino-type of RD in their pipeline.

I do agree. I feel like Adams made the decision for Boosh > Marino since he signed him 3 days before the Marino trade. If he was so adamant that Joker had a RHD spot, then he filled the remaining one with Boosh > Marino

The only time Dahlin played LD was his first few seasons in Buffalo under Botterill and Housley/Krueger

There's a few teams that should've made the Marino trade.

Van- Rathbone and a 2nd
Wpg- Heinola and a 3rd

There's about 5 or 6 other teams that could use a top 4 dman but I don't feel like making more trade examples.. lol

Anyway yeah Buffalo should've been in on Marino, maybe Hill and Dach too but I'm not sure about Debrincat, not sure he'd extend in Buffalo so not worth risking such a high pick.
