then he stays in Carolina...the sabres had the 12th best powerplay in the league last season without the so-called "powerplay quarterback"...i'm not sure i'd even want to give away this year's 8th overall pick for faulk

Id do this years pick as im not really a fan of any of the d-men available there but not more than that. Go all in for someone with a strong two way game.

Is anybody else interested in this kid Mike Matheson - looks like he's having a really good WC tourney, and Florida is really deep at the blue line.

I can wait one more year...they're gonna get a real good prospect at No. 8, imo...win now mode is good, but i'm in no hurry to reach for a powerplay quarterback at this time

I know 89 said that it's just an option BUT Faulks a #1 D man that would massively improve our PP. He has quietly been a major point producer on an extremely low scoring team.

yup, a lot of assumptions as far as what we will have, we need to continue to build the top half of the roster

what's the plus, if it's faulk it's a very cap friendly contract

They already have their own Ennis in Skinner. This wouldn't come close.

I understand this thread skews to a different opinion, but in my view the 8th pick overall - or any pick outside the first 2 or 3 - would never be worth an established young high-qulaity NHLer, this year, or any year.

Presuming the ++ is just an afterthought, and something less than the 8, I do this deal in a heartbeat.

Your point? So let me get this straight does that mean his value goes down ? Does anybody not remember alex pietrangelo struggled and they sent him back jrs
His value still the same he's the number one rated defense prospect in that system
And probably the best prospect in their entire organization
