Well hey, if we've just gotta have LH d-man to "bridge" that gap until Jake McCabe (also a LH d-man) is ready...

How about looking at Tampa? They're right up against the cap, and could use such relief...


They've also got a pair of vetrean, 6'5", 225lbs d-men (who are going into the last yr of their contracts); by the name of Brayden Coburn and Matias Ohuland!


Now while Coburn is 30yrs old and Ohulund 38... I'm still happy to take Ohulund for 1yr before turning it over to McCabe.

Here is something I read:

Sabres Insider ‏@InsideSabres 10h10 hours ago

#Leafs have offered Dion Phanuef and a 2016 3rd rounder to the #Sabres for Hudson Fasching, Nick Baptiste and Mike Weber.

Sabres Insider ‏@InsideSabres 9h9 hours ago

I've been informed that the #Sabres have turned down that offer for Phanuef from the Leafs.

This is probably what GMTM's response sounded like....CLICK

The Sabres have locked up Ryan O'Reilly. A deal will be announced soon.
