Thread: Not trading away their best players
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>Hes been hung out to dry most of his career. Nobody was complaing a couple seasons ago when everything was going right. Hes started his career off on a couple of tank teams and a failed rebuild. He usually has one of the most TOI in the league and has some of the highest shift averages while having some of the worst team mates around him. You look at the last 2 games where hes with Dahlin on man advantage situations, Dahlin falls over and coughs up the puck both nights, ends up a goal and people blame Risto. Not to mention when Rodrigues fumbles the puck to the other teams stick in front of their net. He finally has D men to supplement and he wont need to do everything, Dahlin will only get better, Montour is an improvement of Nelson, McCabe is one of the more under rated D men in the league. Once the forwards start pulling their weight and they can get possitive possession numbers from their bottom 3 lines, teams will be envious of this top 4. If they trade him for a middle 6 forward that would be super disappointing, he has more value to Buffalo than that. RHD are a premium.</div></div>

I agree with the fact that he's been completely misused his entire career. My problem is nothing points to him improving his #'s In the future unless he only gets O-zone starts, the easiest assignments and on the ice with Jack along with PP time. He's extremely bad at controlled zone exits and completed passes out of the zone. Thats not a player I want to pay over 5 million for. I still think he has a ton of trade value though. Getting a good forward/defenceman who can drive play would be a great move
