80% of the avalanche players were acquired via trade.

6 picks Yurov and Lambert still there
- sabresfan69


If Yurov lasts to 28, got to think he's our pick though my pick would be Chesley, if there

The latest cup team won their cup with the roster of mostly trading players
- ImThatGuy


Did they trade away a) any players that they drafted previously, b) future draft picks they held?

Small - I like Kulich better as a LW, 5'9" vs 6'0"

There goes Yurov

Define couple of years. If you mean the standard two, then, no, we will not be trying to win a championship. We'll be hearing Savoie is a rookie, and we still dont have a goalie. And, that old saw, you don't build through free agency. And Alex DeBrincat will have two more 40- goal seasons by then and only be 26.

And we won't be lamenting having two 9 million dollar wingers. I make the Debrincat trade all day long if it weren't for skinner

Mrazek and a first for a 2nd.

I would have done that.

- ImThatGuy

Funny how other teams seem to make moves but we are afraid of blocking prospects or paying players 2 to 3yrs down the road.

Yeah, those teams with multiple 30 and 40 goal wingers. They blow. Ugh.

Having too many good players is not a "problem" the Sabres should worry about.

Exactly. All of their stars were drafted by them. They Say then sprinkled in other players. They didn't trade for a 9 million dollar wing three years ago before their window opened.

Sure, but I would have done that Mrázek trade, Sabres don't do anything.
