Money. You would have to pay much to Lindholm and Hanflin, and both would low on position ratings for Sabres. So basically you trade all that for rentals or you are overpaying players low on depth charts.

I wouldn't mind lindholm, in fact he would look pretty nice here, and if we were a cup favorite this year, it would be tough to say no. As it stands though, it's too much to pay for one year, and theres probably half a dozen teams that should be much more interested in lindholm as a 1b.
Hanifin would be the Sabres 3rd pairing LHD behind Power and Dahlin, with a near $5,000,000 AVV it would be a foolish use of assets.
Lindholm is the latest shiny new object that catches the eys of Buffalo ACGM's

Which is Lindholm's first four seasons, which one is Casey Mittelstadt's NHL stats?
Remember Casey was being called a bust up until the last two months of last season.
Lindholm has had two remarkable seasons in his career scoring 69 goals and 160 pts in 163 games.
Excluding his first year and breakout years Elias has been good but not Kulich, Olofsson and a first good scoring between 39 to 64 pts. each season.
The top stats are Casey, let's give him two good line mates and see what happens.
