At the time Tuch 25 year old winger coming off injury who’s shown flashes, an organizational top prospect 1st then whatever else to balance. I honestly doubt he does get that much due to age and contract, you’ve basically doubled that as Quinn and JJP are worth more than Krebs at the time. Some of the other pieces are fine, I’m not trying to rock them, but it’s really just fluff to make it not look that bad. Something more like Olofsson, JJP and a top 10 protected first is way more reasonable, and I don’t think Buffalo would do that due to contract control</div></div>
The big difference between Miller and Eichel is age, and contract control. You could argue injury with Eichel Tho.
So in all reality it's more probable you get a 1st from a contender and a top prospect on the weaker side,

Buffalo Pushes For Playoffs At Deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pensman69</b></div><div>Fair. I could see it if they hit their potential of this season being a young team to build on. I personally see them picking somewhere between 8-10 though and then next year they can comfortably look to come out of that rebuild.

That's about where I have them on paper.
Could the young guys take a big step and that would get them into that 12-16 range maybe.
Biggest wild cards for me are Detroit, Ottawa and Boston at least in the east. They could all push for playoffs or they can not mesh.

If there was a more veteran presence on the team I can see it. But I would bet he goes back to juniors for a year. Then re-evaluate where he is whether he goes nhl or ahl. But I could be wrong maybe they keep him up at the ahl

30 goals again Maybe not. But regressing to 30 points is ridiculous.
Dude has quick hands and a ridiculous shot. Not necessarily the best play driver which limits him as a 1c. But as the young centers develop in the system that's all buffalo needs.
Nylander upgrades their wings I guess but the loss of Thompson hurts more than what we would gain.

I don't think a single buffalo fan would say yes to this.
Who would play center? Why would we trade a freak at 6'7" who just scored 38 goals on a pretty poor offensive team.
Nylander is good but he isn't doing what Thompson did on this sabres team.

Possible Weegar trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gretzkyghosts</b></div><div>Buffalo made some really good moves thus far this off season.
But losing Asplund and adding Weegar would not make them playoff team.
After watching the playoffs, Buffalo does not have the Star power of the other teams.
Presuming Boston cannot over come a bad start with McAvoy, Marchand and Grzelcyk expected to miss half of the season, Ottawa has made the moves that will allow them to jump over Buffalo.
Ottawa finished only two points behind the Sabres and added Talbot in goal, Giroux, and DeBrincat up front.
Who on Buffalo will drive a line as well as Giroux, Norris or Tkachuk can?
This not to say Buffalo could not make the playoffs, but there are a lot of <strong>IFS</strong> for it to happen.
Okposo, Skinner, Thompson, Olofsson, Tuch, Girgensons all need to match or exceed last year.
Mittelstadt, Cozens, Krebs all need to take that next step and demonstrate that they are ready to play a 200 foot game.
Dahlin needs to be a Norris finalist while Power and Quinn are Calder finalists.
Finally, Comrie has to have a career year.
One more item, no one can have a devastating injury.
Last season the opening line up included Bjork, Caggiula, Eakin, Hagg, Miller and Pysyk.
Replacing them with Quinn, Tuch, Krebs, Power, Lyubushkin, and Fitzgerald will certainly make the team significantly better.</div></div>
This pretty much sums up my thoughts. I think buffalo needs to just continue what they are doing. It sucks that it probably means no playoffs this year maybe not next either. But I would rather have cup contention for years to come when the window in the east opens rather than make the playoffs sooner and have a worse team in a few years.
Definitely sucks since the team has been bad for most of the drought. But the Atlantic has been stacked

Possible Weegar trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>Playoff contention it easily would
Cup contention, no</div></div>
I mean I don't see it, actually I think losing asplund hurts playoff contention more than upgrading lybushkin or joki, with Weegar.
In the Atlantic Tampa will still be very good, florida might take a small step back but will be very good, I think Maple leafs are a wild card whether they improve or not, but they will still be top 3, Boston takes a step back but will still battle for 4th. I think Ottawa has the next most complete team but defense and goaltending still questionable. I don't think Detroit is going to be that much better from their signings but their young players should take a top forward. Then buffalo plugged some holes and are hoping their young players take some strides. Imo Power playing a full year helps l, I think asplund has a more productive year as will Cozens. My sleeper is Mittelstadt who can hopefully drive a successful 3rd line. And then Comrie hopefully provides good goaltending. But a lot has to go right. At best they fight for that 4th spot in the Atlantic, maybe 3rd if one of those teams get hurt and everything pans out buffalo's way. But I don't see how Weegar changes much
