Making a run next year

Hawks are rebuilding and aren't giving away picks for a 27 year old, not to mention a UFA in another season. Murphy for Mittlestadt is pretty close

I’d rather have Middlestadt or Oloffson than the package requested by this Sabres fan. Both guys r worth way more than this lol.

Slow and steady Buffalo, don’t trade that 23 pick if it has a chance at lottery.

The Sabres aren’t trading two productive forwards for a bad defenseman and a couple third round picks. They aren’t trading for Chychrun because he’s overrated and doesn’t fill a need. They aren’t signing Horvat or Pastrnak imo, but I do think they will land Kane. Also Varly isn’t going to Buffalo to be a backup. And Buffalo wouldn’t bring him in since UPL would have to clear waivers next year.

Buffalo is in a interesting place, hopefully looks internal and locks down a team friendly nucleus if at all possible. Then there should still be some room for a star add up front or on the blueline, kind of like the 10 Blackhawks, and adding hossa and Campbell. Not sure the right names or how the next few years going to go, but definitely going to be entertaining going forward.
