If you keep the team and the lines exactly the same as how Granato makes them, then yes we really can make the playoffs. No need to make any major trades.

Fair, but don't you think they should make one or two major moves come deadline time(eg. Attempting to get Meier or bolster goaltending long-term with Demko)?

Meier I'd only do if the price is right both for the trade and an extension. We are 2nd place in goals for, we don't need to add scoring. But like I said, if the price is right for a player of Timo's calibre, then I'd trade for him. Demko no. No point in throwing chips in for goaltending this season when UPL and Anderson have been giving us chances to win games and keeping us in it. I'd rather evaluate UPL for the remainder of the season and see in the offseason if we want to then bring in a goalie via FA or trade. I hope the Canucks keep Demko, because he is far from the problem there imo

I think the Sharks will want more than that for Meier

And idk that Demko is an upgrade on UPL right now,
let alone in the future

I wouldn’t do either of these moves as a Sabres fan
