You traded our best prospect and a 2nd for a guy who has injury problems and got ran out of the starting job. Hickey is all but gone and a 5 year deal is far too much for a painfully average defenseman. De Haan, also all but gone, is not signing for 2 million dollars a year after he went to arbitration trying to get 5.

Oops, but there are no I mean no good UFA goalies available, and for Tavares to stay, I need a goalie, Mason can get the job done better than the situation currently. What about Hutchinson? And defense is needed desperately

Well I would ask do you think the Mason is a better option than Robin Lehner?

I could see the Sabres interested in Ho-Sang with no draft pick in exchange for Lehner and a prospect or draft pick.
