Even if I assume NYI would move Pelech (they won't), that wouldn't even be enough for Pelech alone. You have like 6 high quality F prospects after just integrating Krebs, JJ, & Quinn last year. Is a trade for a top pairing Dman somehow not the ideal use of some of those assets?

lol

I doubt NYI would sell those players and go into rebuild, with GM old as fck and already spending assets on vets. Regardless of return. I don't see Sabres doing 'hockey trade' with NYI.
