At least the main pieces of a trade.

Scandella
Pulliot
Kane
Reinhart

Those are the 4 i would look to move at deadline. Eichel is the only player off limits, maybe even some your high talent (Middlestadt, Ghule, Nylander). The fact everyone blames Housley for not being a "NHL head coach"... What GMTM did by gutting the minors, paying high salaries/assests for Okposo, Moulson, ROR, Kane, Bogosian, Gorges, Gionta, Kulikov, Lehner and Legwand put this team dramatically behind. GMJB and Phil needed the year evaluate and start tearing down from here forward. (And I was blind about Tim Murrays capability as a GM. How very wrong I was)

Nice evaluation of Murray...those trades,


No chance

Some team MIGHT take Kane.

I’ll put money on no one else moving

I think he's a nice surprise, but hardly irreplaceable. He's head and shoulders above guys like Falk, Gorges, Beaulieu etc. but there are guys available every year who are.

If you can keep him for the third pair next year, great. If not, oh well.

- Sabresfan-365


Sorry, this is wrong.

He is a great find that cost absolutely nothing and has been playing solid, 3-4 solid, even on the top Pair for awhile. No he isn’t a Top Pair, but he’s better than a 5-6.
Especially on a competent-D starved team like the Sabres....who everyone beats up because their D sucks.

This same, he can be replaced easily is the same, dumb, dumb, dumb logic that was used to justify losing other bottom 6 forwards...that then lead to “ our bottom six sucks”, “ no secondary scoring is killing this team”.

Keep the good ones, add to them right? Or does the story change on a hourly basis in here.
Lol.

Christian Ehrhoff looks like he could be part of an 80's metal band with his new hair. Hope he is ok after that elbow to the face.

You’ve done well with this one.

And you’re right, it’s this simple, find and keep good ones. Trade up from the others.

Mike Trout, Aaron Rodgers, Roger Federer, Steph Curry, Shaun White, and Liz Johnson are all pretty good.

Vets don't want to play his system because it points out their flaws. You can blend in playing a trap.

Good:
-Eichel

Acceptable (upgrade if available):
-ROR (ok for next year, maybe 2, then needs to go)
-Okposo (finally)
-Wilson
-Erod
-Scandella
-McCabe ( hopefully he settles in to be more consistent)


May have missed one or two.

The rest, get what you can for them.

Yes, missedhim...there is likely another or two.


Right, wrong or indifferent; when a list containing 10 or less names constitutes players worth retaining, it boggles my mind how we think they are close...
Even factoring in Baptiste, Bailey, Mittlestadt, Guhle ... and maybe keeping Josefson for the 4th, that gets you to 14 or so.
I think the Mgmt wants youngins to develop in Roch, meaning...they need to prove they want it ... so I see Asplund, Pu, Davidsson (or whatever), Borgen, etc being in Roch next year.

2019 season is going to be really challenging as well while the purge is delayed until youngins prove they are ready.
