It’s MUCH more likely that we sign Jokiharju & only bring in 1 of Roy/DeMelo

While I agree I feel like we need to shake up that defense core by 2 piece at least. Roy and DeMelo are veteran guys that know how to actually defend and can mentor the next Era of Sabres defense

I don’t disagree
It’s just very unlikely to actually happen imo

Also,
there’s very little chance we buy out Skinner

I think its- take a bunch of first round picks (they must be good, right, RIGHT?), throw them together on a team, and then hope and pray that they learn how to play hockey together, regardless of strengths and weaknesses. You keep them together for as long as possible, call it culture! Don't make any aggressive moves, finish 6th from the bottom, get passed by two lottery winners and pick 8th in the draft. It's not just a process, it's an annual tradition!

Well that's pretty spot on! Might Add, who has Matt Freaking Ellis as PP Coach.
