Sabres of Buffalo

Team: 2017-18 Buffalo Sabres
Initial Creation Date: Jun. 27, 2017

Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Simple Botterill knows you can not win by trading prospects and picks to win. I can see the Sabres moving Kane but only if we can get something right in return. However I am going to keep him on the team and see him being traded at the deadline or even being re-signed.

Botterill learned that you do not have to sign big in FA to win, and with Chiasson not being qualified I think it would be a steal for this team. Gagner is someone it really depends on how cheap his contract is, I can see him playing with Sam or Jack and scoring 20 goals..He scored 18 in Columbus with out an elite center. Brendan Smith is the best option at his price out of Campbell. Stone if a perfect fit however I think he will demand crazy money.

Sam Gagner is going to want more than that after last season. Sabres are going to need to start moving picks for positions of need. Antipin is not thier number 1 LHD. Those lines are all over the place. Girgensons is not a top 6 guy

Disagree, we are not Washington. We will not move picks for players, it has not worked before this. Girgensons can be a top 6 guy in the right system, and Antipin is a top pair D-man have you ever watched his games in the KHL?

Yeah i have, the KHL is filled with AHL rejects and guys to old and slow for the NHL, thats why theyre in the KHL. He's going to come in and have to take his lumps. If he works up to a top pair guy, thats great. No way he immediately steps into that spot. I think your setting yourself up just to lose hope in this team. The Sabres a re very far away right now from a playoff spot let alone a decent run. They're turning into the islanders. Wasting the first 6 years of Tavares and not really putting together anything decent. The team needs to be aggressive, the draft and wait period is over. They have about 4 or 5 guys who will graduate the AHL and be decent top guys within the next 3 years, they should be going out now and getting that number 1 d man (Methot cost a second and a prospect. Hjalmarsson cost a good d prospect and a bottom 6 forward prospect, both very cheap top guys). One style isnt the answer you need to know when to shift gears. Sitting on your hands only works so long.
