    I like the idea of a continued rebuild but a lot of these deals seem to be meant to getting Buffalo into a more competitive phase, as opposed to trading players for future assets and picks. As a Leafs fan, I would like to see the Sabres ice a more competitive team so the Sabres-Leafs rivarly can heat back up again.

    Absolutely. Just trying to put a more competitive team on the ice and building from the back end out. I want guys like Rust and Weal because they work hard and can fly. I want that to rub off on some of the younger guys to play with a bit more jam.

    I am on board with Weal & Rust. I really like Weal's all out effort.... he never takes a shift off.

    I like the Vancouver trade but I think in order for it to happen the Sabres will have to retain a portion of Kane's salary. I also see the pick going back to Vancouver not a pick going to Buffalo.

    If GMJB has a solid relationship with Daley that is a real possible outcome that he ends up in Buffalo (fingers crossed).

    Bailey doesn't get you an NHL Dman with a great contract (Manson). One year of Kane doesn't get you three years of Tanev.
