If we sell Jake

U can take the Sabres off your list of possibles
Besides u wanting A TON, the Sabres are stacked at forward & not gonna add a guy like Guentzel who will need a huge & long contract
We just aren’t there yet

There’s no chance

Not that i think the price is bad, I just don't think Detroit will be in the market for Guentzel as we cannot afford his extension. Even if we send Fabbri, we would still need to clear another 4+ to make it work and that means making our team worse in another area.
We need to spend that money in other areas of need.
Also, we currently have the 5th best offense in the league, and although any team would greatly benefit from adding him, the benefit wouldn't hide the fact that we are weak in many other areas.
Our main concern should be adding on the back end and hopefully in the offseason so we don't spend assets doing so.
We would also benefit from defensively responsible forwards who are physical.

That makes sense. I guess with Seider & Raymond extensions incoming, you guys need to be prudent about splashing the cash.

Very much so. Yzerman blew his load on free agents the past few years, and despite what people think, it's actually made our team substantially better. Just need to have good cap management until guys like Maatta and Chiarot are replaced by ETCs and other guys like Husso and Fabbri are off the books.

Canes graciously say thanks but no thanks
