I am of the mindset now - like many on here - that we will stay at #8, and move up from #16.

I hope I'm wrong, and that Nashville really wants Vanek, and they offer the #4.

I believe we will do that as well. It's the easier trade to make and Darcy basically did the same thing last year. I hope Darcy makes a Vanek deal and if possible deals Miller as well. Time to fully rebuild and not do it half way. Let the suffering continue.

For miller, its tough. He will for sure get a first rounder (top15) this year. He will also get a good prospect, maybe darcy can steal a top prospect. If Miller or Vanek agree to a sign in trade, we would get 2 first rounders and 2 top prospects just for miller, vanek would get more.

Gaustad deal was different, Nashville wanted to show Suter that they wanted to win now. Goose was last guy available and we got a first rounder.

I would imagine that if Darcy called and offered Vanek, the 16th and eating a portion of Vaneks cap # might make Nashville at least have discussions about trading.

#Sabres GM Darcy Regier on possible trade up to a top slot: "Extremely difficult if not impossible."

Forget about moving up folks, too hard for Darcy

- GilPerreault11

I think that's good.. just load up on more 1sts for this year and next.. no need to put all your eggs in one basket that can blow its knee out and put us back even further. get 4 or 5 baskets..

The Value coming back for Vanek is much greater than Miller at this point on the trade market, but still not to Darcy's expectations. Darcy will play poker as long as he can and if a deal it struck it will be announced right before the draft selection. And it will be for a spot no lower than 4th.

I believe Miller will end up playing in Buffalo on opening day.

Couldn't disagree more. Go big or go home. Time for this franchise to man up.

I dont think either vanek or miller are here opening day. I think they are both traded either June 29th (the day before the draft) ir June 30 (draft day)

Big O talked about scaling back our nuclear arsenal...

I disagree. Lets face it straight, we are not one piece from the cup. I say get a bunch of first rounders this year, another top 10 pick, another pick in the teens, and a pick in the 20s. We will be in the top 3 picks the next few years, thats when we hit the for sure franchise player.

I think for buffalo to move up they will need to offer the 8th. 16th isnt getting it done.

I can appreciate that sentiment.. but I think we can get some good players where we are.. a superstar can be available at 8 or 16, and we should be top 5 next year.. and if you get more you have more chances to get a superstar.. sometimes they can be picked even in the second round. I don't want to give up all our picks and pieces for the chance to get drouin.. what happens if he gets checked into the boards gets a concussion and never is anything more than tim Connolly? then all of the sudden you are even worse off.. but at the end of the day I am just a spectator along for the ride

Better options available at 8, and none of the guys will be available at 16.

Quite possibly. But that will depend on Nashvilles thoughts on Vanek and the possibility of resigning him.

Buffalo wont offer 8th. They have 7 second rounders in 3 years to throw in the trade. They have vanek staff ennis.

And Lindholm is signed for another year overseas so he won't be here at all next season.

Lindholm will be gone at 8, but i wouldnt want him here next year anyways. Hes got tons of skill, but hes only 181lbs. Kids gotta bulk up then get used to the american game.

All the more reason why I would rather have nichuskin or monahan... I want guys who can play now...

I heard that risto was the most ready dman over nurse, puluck, morissey, morin, and zadorov.

But you could say that about anyone. Any player can get injured at any time.

I am also of the mindset that I would take one legit "superstar" over 2 or 3 borderline "stars".

At this point we have nothing to lose.

I also realise 100% that we are not one player away from having a competitive roster. But I would rather build around a MacKinnon than pick up a couple of midle first rounders and hope for the best.

Although for some reason the more I read about Nichushkin, the more I want him.

Foligno is possible future captain for this team... he should very promising potential in 2012 before a regression of a season in 2013.

If you want our goods... you can't just send us scraps...

Foligno and a 2nd rounder for Hjalmarsson and Hayes

maybe.
