I’d agree more moves are coming.... I think Guhle goes back to Rochester though.

Have to believe another trade will happen.

As of now, if Guhle makes the team, McCabe or Nelson are the 7th D, with Hunwick as the 8th, Bowl-u 9th.

Bailey and Baptiste would be in Rochester or waived.

Another move will happen

Plenty of Murrency to make more deals if we need to, but I don't want to see GMJB spending picks just to get any winger.

If he can trade jake, 2nd for. Upcoming winger that has potential to be a top six forward

Like AA I might say yes

Okay so now we have 3 first round picks next year, knowing that botts loves to draft and develop. Do we hold onto the picks? Or use one or two to gets someone now? Is one or two wingers going to make us a playoff team now?
- gordong


I guess its a question of what under 25 yr old sniper we might be able to pry loose from a cap strapped team or a team about to go rebuild. Islanders/Sens?

As bad as we were last year, GMJB has done a very very good job of righting the ship in just 14 months.

its going to be another rough year with this lineup.. lots of growing pains in there
- IndianaSabresFan


I can deal with the growing pains, because I see a light finally.

Jack, Casey, Sam, the Rasmii, and it looks like the cupboards are being well stocked again, with some very intriguing prospects. Plus, 4 first round picks in the next two years.

Last time we had 3 first rounders and moved them, we still ended up at the bottom. Can't rush it. Build from within

From Ryan Wilson's blog:

"Ryan O’Reilly is a great player. The Blues did a nice job of acquiring him without giving up assets that really meant anything to them. Buffalo was in a bad spot with this because it is clear they weren’t making a hockey trade as much as getting a player out of their locker room. The rumblings I heard were that he was sick of "babysitting" Jack Eichel and Sam Reinhart. Rather than having locker room strife the Sabres made the decision to move on and get what they could."


Not sure the guy who ran his car into a Tim Hortons while drunk can claim to be babysitting anyone

Looks that way. 5th overall 4 years ago and still can't crack the lineup.

People crying about this trade Berglund and Sobotka could both get 2nd round picks at the dealine.

That would be
1 1st
3 2nds
Tage Thompson

For RoR
That's a haul

I’d like to keep them all. But there could be deals out there that would make sense to send one of those firsts for help at wing.
