<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Swagmaster</b></div><div>You have no clue . Tim Murray is to blame . He traded away all developing prospects and drafted like crap . We have a huge hole in the talent pipeline because of him and still are struggling to build assets in the system . Till this summer the team was in cap hell thanks to all his bad deals signed while he was here . You should do some homework . Tried to help you understand but guess you can't read . Botterill has drafted well but it takes 4 to 6 years to develop players . Botterill trading away all those picks and using the ones we had badly are our biggest weakness. right now.</div></div>

The Sabres have problems defending and in goal. Truth. No matter how you slice it, they can't stop other teams from scoring. The only reason the Jackets didn't torch the Sabres over the past few weeks is because the Jackets are without their best players. 9 starters! 9! If you sit there and tell me that the Sabres are good on defense and in goal but the Jackets competed closely with practically their AHL team, then we now know who doesn't have a clue. Defenseman and Goaltenders are the hardest to develop. It take years to develop correctly. But by then the core that was young is now getting older and start shortening the window of where you can be competitive. Just for comparison Nutivarra would be the best defenseman on your team outside of Dahlin. But whatever, think what you want.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Swagmaster</b></div><div>This has been discussed at length on Buffalo Forums . Sam can produce on his own and has . . Sam supports Jack . He drives possession for Jack . His first priority is always to get Jack the puck. Has said that in interviews.He always get back first to help the D so Jack does can concentrate of the offensive zone . To appreciate Sam's game you have to watch him . And concentrate on all the things he does without the puck. He thinks the game on a higher level . His passing is amazing all 200 feet . His breakout passes and in the offensive zone are things of beauty. Above all they are best friends and the bond is special and it shows on the ice. So getting back to your proposed trade . It is a joke. The reason they have not made the playoffs is the destruction done to the organization by Tim Murray . His accelerated rebuild attempt dug such a deep hole that we are still digging out . Read this to see. <a href="https://wgr550.radio.com/articles/opinion/sabres-still-paying-sins-tim-murray" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://wgr550.radio.com/articles/opinion/sabres-still-paying-sins-tim-murray</a></div></div>

All of this is bias fan talk. Look, Tim Murray cannot be blamed for what's going on now. Again I don't think it would happen but you Sabres fans think that Sam is Eichel. But again we can agree to disagree

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>papishark</b></div><div>No we dont need a D. Our team is ravanged by injuries and we could bring back Dillon for less next year</div></div>

Look I don't think the Jackets would want Evander Kane in the first place. But for you to say they aren't rebuilding? Come on man, the writing is on the wall. That team doesn't have the cap flexibility to fix their issues via free agency. They inconceivably traded away their 1st round pick to sign Karlsson. Yeah, how did that work out? Means the draft isn't going to help you, considering it could take years before any player selected would be of use at the NHL level. That leaves trade as the only route. But to say they are still a good team is laughable. This team is getting buried now that the non California teams have gotten significantly better. But your right, Dillon signing back for less is going to make all the difference lol

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Swagmaster</b></div><div>Guess you do not watch Sam play much . Just look at score sheets ? Embarrassing. Terrible offer for a first line winger that helps drive Eichel.</div></div>

Can't just look at the score sheets. You have to take in the affect he has on the team. Eichel is a player that can make players play better than they are. Now Sam is a good player in his own right but every player that plays with Eichel gets a boost to point totals. So points can be misleading. Buffalo has never been in a real position to play meaningful games in March yet while either Eichel or Sam have been on the team. That says something. Yeah, likely he won't be traded. But pricing him like he is Eichel is just foolish. Again we can agree to disagree.
