<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MTLaveragefan</b></div><div>While the offer might not be to your liking, (which fair enough, I cannot say that I've had a lot of watch time with these prospects) the idea of trading one of them is not far fetch... because it's not working right now - just like OTT... the rebuild kind of plateaued.

The talent is there... but it's missing something to make it mesh I guess.</div></div>

Simply not true. The Sabres are just way tooooo young. Young teams don't win in the NHL. The rebuild isn't even close to plateauing. We've still got 4 1st round picks not even on the team and another 3 just playing in their rookie years, and a total of 8 players 22 or under.

Add in the ton of injuries this year: Tuch, Tage, Skinner, Quinn, Greenway.....

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>zackhendo</b></div><div>Well it's a contradiction because people (not neccesarily you.. although you did like the post) are saying "Nothing in that trade is a need for the Sabres, so while he's a high end prospect for Vancouver he's another body in an already deep forward prospect group in Buffalo. Sabres don't need 1sts and prospects. Get a top 4 RD with those pieces and move that for Mittelstadt".

Do you see the part, again, where it says 'Sabres don't need 1sts and prospects'.

So when they are other teams' firsts and prospects they are worthless but when they are the Sabres you're 'not going to toss them around like $5 bills'.

First rounders are the currency of the NHL. It's like if you had a car and wanted a truck but instead of selling your car for cash and buying a truck you only wanted to trade it for a truck. That obviously limits your available market and is very likely going to result in not getting top value for your car.

Regardless I don't think Mittlestadt is a fit for the Canucks team at all so we can all happily go our seperate ways.</div></div>

BUF needs to get older, not younger. We've already got 1sts and prospects. We've already sold our cars for cash. We're shopping for a truck.
