Then who do you want at 2C? I don’t want Hayes either. I am okay with Duchene. Not many other options out there for 2C.
- Sabretooth9

Nobody wants to sign Duchene, they just want to keep with the " same " and keep complaining every year when we don't make the playoffs. " We can't pay this player, this player(s) isn't worth it, let another team pat him" It's the same over and over.

Agreed

If we are adding a Center,
then it’s gotta be a guy with a strong 2way game
Otherwise,
just be patient & let Mitts develop

- jdfitz77


And if Mitts falls on his face again, the Sabres are finishing bottom 10 again and Bitts gets fired.

Prospects are prospects until they prove otherwise.

Who knows how good Mittelstadt will be, but we need a sure thing currently and Motts is far far from that.

you can either have a fringe all star with speed as your second line center and a probable hit with casey as a winger in your top 6


or you can have a possible hit as your second center, casey, and a void for your top 6 winger


I don't get it

They're talking like Duchene wants either Nashville or Montreal

duchene would be perfect here

very fast, high energy center

if casey goes to the wing so be it


for the next 3 years, we would be much better with duchene then casey as second line center, and you then slotted a winger for your second line

- homiedclown


The Sabres cannot afford another crap season. Fans are ready to give up, the Pegulas know it (at least I hope thy do)

I expect some big things from Botts this off season, because of that pressure, right or wrong.

I wouldn’t hate the Sabres trading 7 and 31 in separate deals for players.

He will move 31 but not 7 unless it's a huge return. From what I was told, thy are picking at 7 and it may be he picks at 31 also. Picks are fine but it's been years since this team has progressed and at some point you have to start getting better even if it takes signing another big player.

After thinking about how easily so many teams seem to be able to navigate what look like obvious cap issues, I'm now on the side of signing good players and worrying about the cap later, a bit. Duchene makes sense.

Yup. The Sabres scouted the sens a ton before the deadline. If Duchene isn’t a Duchene and locker room issue. I am all for it.

The Sabres need talent! Badly.

It depends on the price tag for Dutchy...IMO he is going to be expensive as the top C in UFAland.
His avg production of 55pts is inline with a 2C, but probably gets paid like a 1C..
