Oh my goodness no. No No No No No

ok that was well put but let me say this in as a counter point to your no no no no no. This trade is for the future and lets you make a real run at JT next off season and still sign the players you need to.

I'm a sabres fan. No one is talking about Tavares coming to Buffalo

so why would "no one talking about it" make you not want to build a cup winner?

No chance

O'Reilly is probably going to be named our Captain
And even if he's not...
we aren't trading him for Zibanejad

And you'd have to sweeten the pot to get us to take Nash off your hands

Tavares might not even make it to UFA
And if he does, we have no clue he'd sign here

So we aren't giving up O'Reilly for a HUGE "what if"

What if...
we trade O'Reilly & don't get Tavares?
Then we're f#cked

Sorry dude... HORRIBLE IDEA
NO CHANCE

it's not a HORRIBLE IDEA and the reality is Buff is in win tomorrow mode and will have to pay there #1 center a big contract and there other good young players at the same time, Zib is a good number 2 or great number 3 center and Nash is gone at the end of the year. What you need to do is take a look at teams with good young players who need contracts at the same time it's tuff to do and still add to your roster. yes they lost there highest paid center but not there best center and what they got back was a very good center that you can control because he is not an RFA.
