Description
This team is modified based of the one I did last night. In the wake of learning the Avalanche are looking for Defense in return on Gabriel, I think Sam and Nelson a nice prospect get that done for them in return of former Sabre Zadorov, which I would prefer over Georges and Bogo, and if we draft someone in the 1st round that plays Defense we can give him a year or 2 in the AHL before Zadorov is sent off. Also in this trade with Sam still being on his entry level contract we swap 1st round picks.

Sabres then trade with the Kings and give them Kane in exchange for Kempe and a 2nd round pick, giving Botts more ammo for the draft to get our prospect pool in the right direction, or even more ammo to move back up into the 1st round.

We ship of Lehner (now personally I think he is the best option but clearly he is not what our GM wants.) Philly is a perfect team for him. With his attitude and fighting mentality, its Philly. In return we acquire a couple picks.

      I like it! Only thing is I think we can get better compensation for Lehner than a 3rd & 7th round pick. I'd only give Bernier a one year deal, and I would like to see who we drafted in the first round. Good stuff though

      Forgot to rate that!! Would've been 5 stars if you say we selected Heiskanen, Makar, or Vilardi

      Bernier is also very far from being a starting goalie

      Trade with the AVs will NEVER happen
      They want back a top defenseman for Landy, and u aren't giving them any defenseman
      You're actually expecting them to give us a defenseman

      No chance
