So many teams are currently looking for a right handed d-man, it wouldn't surprise me if not all of those teams could get one.

Sucks because it’s either you overpay for one or you have to settle for absolute pylons in Hamonic, Ceci, Holl etc

I'd trade Cernak for that package.

Yes I'm aware you didn't mean all those pieces

It matter what Tampa would do

Which defenseman in the Sabres' system has the potential to be a top right defenseman?

Or, in the case of the Sabres, you play one of Power or Dahlin on the right and be done with it for a while at least

I doubt he will actually be traded. I wouldn't be totally opposed to it though. I'm not sure about that package tbh. The value is good enough I'm sure but I doubt tampa would do it

We have Strbak. A second rounder who's not bad. Komarov in qmhl. High points big tough needs better skating but possibly and Mccarthy a 3rd pair. Jokiharu shows lots of promise this year is an rfa and a black hole of nothing after that.
The left side overstocked and talented

The Sabres will need to flip a left defenseman and forward to obtain a right defenseman.

Adams has work to do. Acquiring a top right defenseman should be a key performance indicator.

So far his grade is needs improvement but agreed
