Oh i am aware.

But sitting around hoping we catch lightning in a bottle and avoiding moving those parts is a bad strategy, IMO.

The Sabres are in a position where they can do both.

If it gets to the off season and Duchene is still not signed, I offer Ottawa a conditional first for exclusive rights before Jan 1 that turns into a 4th or something if Buffalo fails to sign him.

my guess is Botts wanted to see how / which players made any impact this year. I think his thought process was / is stay the course (hopefully get lucky with the draft lottery). and then start moving pieces around in the off season.

At least we are starting to hear of the sabres reaching out and testing waters.... Because I sure HATED watching him sit on his hands while we blew the cushion we built up early in the season.

When i said, “why are we waiting....”
I meant in the future
Bc some are saying we should keep ALL the 1sts & not use any to make a significant move that can help NOW, as well as going forward

we aren't winning a cup without making the roster better.... Why does it have to be one way? (cup Vs Instant) do you want to tank 5-10 more years to build though the draft?

Can we not make a trade with one of these firsts that helps us eventually win a Cup?

Didn’t Botts say he’d only do it for a young, cost controlled player?

Sounds to me like that guy would be here a while... right?

The point I’m making isn’t that all these picks will turn out, it’s that we need to maximize our chances of hitting by using them.

We absolutely NEED to fill the cupboards with cheap skill in the next few years, otherwise we will be trading away the same guys people want to trade for.

Tampa, WPG, NSH etc ALL have homegrown picks playing for cheap and playing big roles because of drafting and developing.

It’s not that trading the 24th pick for Brayden Schenn wouldn’t or can’t be a win for us, it’s that what we need is more than just a Brayden Schenn

- sbroads24


Well who is saying we should ONLY trade for Schenn & do NOTHING ELSE?

Of course there’s more work to be done

But trading for Coyle doesn’t “move the needle” as you like to say?

And while we do need to draft & develop,
we shouldn’t be sitting on our hands wasting 3-5 years of Eichel & Dahlin
to figure out which picks will work out & which won’t

Carter Hutton will be in the crease Tuesday night against Columbus.

Hutton has gone 1-6-2 in his last nine appearances, while posting a save percentage of .895 during that span. The 33-year-old netminder has a 14-14-3 record this season with a 2.75 goals-against average and .912 save percentage.

Kapanen was considered a bust for years.

I am not touching him if i am any team.

He is going to get over paid and under produce, IMO.

- ImThatGuy
then you dont know hockey....kap is a difference maker. And theres a reason every gm wanted him in an exchange for top 4 defense men for the leafs....sabres fans im gonna take a little break in hating your team for a minute and tell ya the truth....you should be ahead of the leafs in your rebuild but you weren't paitient enough and you tried to jump start it with all those trades a few years back. And NOW your wanting that all again? Im mean thats beautiful if your me a leafs fan. But jeseus im getting frustrated reading some of your stuff on here. You think you d be encouraged by what your team was doing in the early part of the season. Well coached. Draft well and develop. Either that or keep chasing your tails which im fine with. Smarten up. Im starting to find it hard hating all of you. Lol and theres no fun in that.

Who said we're tanking 5-10 more years?

Did Botts? Terry?

Trading away 3 1st round picks for a 2nd line center is ludicrous. Actually, it's beyond ludicrous.
