Edmonton dumps cap for their McD mega deal. Sabres get 3 top tier centers and replace their LWer that they trade back. Sabres have depth and finally have 3 decent scoring lines, with a good enough defense. A little expensive, but manageable. Guhle makes Scandella or Beaulieu expendable in the future if he continues to develop properly. Sabres can buyout Bogosian after this year for added cap relief and still be able to offer decent contracts to all their RFA's. I still think Seth Griffith is a wild card, but their's a lot of AHL scorers that cant translate it to the NHL. I doubt he was brought in for anything other than AHL depth, but if we're going with a fantasy roster here, I can imagine him killing it in the pre-season and earning a spot. He's fast and skilled, he just needs to stay healthy and shoot more. I said before, putting him with Eichel costs the Sabres nothing, not much top line depth on the Sabres especially if they are rolling 3 lines, and we can see if he has what it takes to hang in the NHL. Fayne and Moulson buried, maybe someone is stupid enough to take one on waivers. Antipin, Nylander, and Bailey are also wild cards for the next 2 seasons.
