That's possible, yes, but that's still not a Cup caliber team.

Job still wouldn't be done, imo.

they need 6 or 7 more pieces to sniff being a cup contender

Toffoli w Eichel is really intriguing, I have to admit.

Reminds me of Skinner, numbers-wise. A bit up and down, a 30 goal season, couple more 20+.

Wonder if there's enough pucks to go around on that line.

That’s where free agency comes in for the short term. Drafting well so that in 2-3 years we have more studs coming through the pipeline to supplant those short term fixes to ensure sustained success.

and if you can move a late first, and 2 guys who will possibly never be a fixture with the big club and a semi bad short contract, you still have cap space to add, picks to fill the pipeline

all is good if you move a few more scrubs

If you're giving up that much youth/futures, however, it would suck if A) Toffoli doesn't work out and/or B) he leaves for UFA after next year.

Kempe stinks, we have enough 3rd or 4th line players.

gotta factor in age there as well though...but yes you are correct about playing time, although Im not sure how that did or didn't affected Dahlin.
- gordong

Just an example, if Dahlin was in the CHL he would've put up 90+ points.

Add more balls.

If you mean lottery balls then just put Okposo on the 1st line with Larsson.

I'd like to see a trade for a 2nd line center and rw. I think that's what we need the most. Not Girgensons 2.0 just to dump Sobotka.

We need any trade that gets us out of that Okposo contract.

1 for January on the PP. Fire Davis Payne.

Moving a 1st round pick and a young player and maybe we can move Okposo.

If we don't do well during this 7 game stand. Say 5 and 2 or 10 points. I'd say go for it.

It all depends on whether they're trying to get better for this year

McBeane clearly sold the Pegulas on being bad this year. Maybe Botterill told them that the Sabres would be mediocre, but better than last year.

Phil's seat is lukewarm. Botterill's is room temperature, regardless of the finish

It will cost to move boat anchors, Botterill is looking into it but I doubt he does it.

Yep. They need to step it up or just wake up. We score 1 goal, we have a chance.
