This is completely false, just on premise alone.

There are 93 players taken in the first three rounds every year, there are maybe 5 meaningful trades that are made each year

- ImThatGuy


One team wins and one team loses each trade as well. So you have a 50% chance of winning one of the 5 meaningful trades all year and you have a 50-60% chance of getting a solid player in the top 15 of the draft and a 30%-40% chance of getting a player at the back end of the first round. The Sabres aren’t one trade away. We are multiple trades away. By the time we are a cup contender Dahlin, Skinner, Reinahrt will be making $7M+ as well. Factor that in to the guy you are trading for and where we would have to subtract in the roster to make up for it

Maybe my Sharp winter classic.

That or the classic Toews.

I really should have a Kane to wear for tonight, eh?

The Sabres either should or should not trade all, some or none of their 1st round picks

Trade length and width, plus an early 3rd (which is technically a second) for depth.

Looks like we're basically getting a 2nd round pick from SJS

I've been constantly told the player didnt pick himself, the gm did. Obsolving the player of any responsibility.

Effort
Diet
Work out regiment
Commitment to practice

All controlled by the player

This argument is totally useless unless a specific player is the topic of the debate.

If we trade all 3 first rounders for Brayden Point, Colton Parayko and Sean Couturier, (frank)ing sweet.

If we move one of them + a prospect for a guy who’s going to need a new contract and be in his late-twenties, they can go (frank) right off

sometimes draft picks don't work out, but proposing grossly one-sided trades always works

let's just make a bunch of trades, win them all, and then sign them all to team friendly deals
