<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BUFF36</b></div><div>Yeah, not trading Krebs for 1yr of Tanev possibly.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lsendel3</b></div><div>Think you’re short on the StL trade. Honestly huge fall off at around prospect 16/18. If they just avoided that trade they could get Wood, Moore, or Perreault at 13 and still get Simachev if they packaged all those seconds. Buffalo already has a ton of prospects, getting a higher end on would seem like a priority. While in reverse StL should be more in the quantity stage anyways I would think.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lsendel3</b></div><div>Was just basing on being sellers at the deadline honestly. Have no clue where they sit on their prospect pool. But Buffalo needs the quality so this trade doesn’t make sense for them Was my overriding point</div></div>

Who really knows what GM's are thinking at the draft.
But you are correct, Buffalo will most likely use their draft capital to get better picks.
For example the 13th and 87th may get them to 12th (Buffalo would probably need to add a bit more).
They may also move their two seconds to get another first round pick.
The 39th, 45th and 109th could get them the 26th OA.
Getting better picks makes more sense for Buffalo.
Axel Sandin Pellikka and David Reinbacher may both be available at 13th and Adams may still pass on them, who knows.

Sujet: Buffalo
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>Odd, the entire impression I've gotten about him from podcasts is that he was great when he was called up and the team rallied around him. Then when Anderson came back from injury the team leaders approached management and asked that he stay with the team. My understanding is that <strong>he has been quite good for the Sabres</strong>. He's only 24 and in his rookie season. It seems far to early to write him off IMO</div></div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingofRnR</b></div><div><strong>Sounds like a guy we should try out.</strong> He's $1.4mil cheaper too. You know how Goalies go, they're Hot &amp; In OR Not &amp; Out</div></div> A rather lengthy answer to your comments.
Unfortunately none of the Buffalo defensemen know how to tie up a forwards stick.
He is not terrible just the Sabres are terrible in their own zone.
Over the past 11 games the Sabres are 2-7-2 scoring only 28 goals while giving up 53 losing badly to NHL powerhouses as Columbus and Philadelphia 5-3 and 5-2 respectively.
Look at Comrie 10-5-1 with a 0.920 SV% with Toronto last year is 9-8-0 with a 0.877 SV% with Buffalo this year.

If one merely look at <strong>Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen</strong> stats he has been terrible, surrending 23 goals in his last 5 games.
Looking at the individual goals, there were many tipped shots, great passes, perfectly place shots, breakaways, or odd man rushes that led to goals.
Buffalo fans talk themselfs into a frenzy (as do fans of many other teams) and jump on the band wagon of hate.
Everyone looks for a scape goat to blame for poor performance, losing is a team effort and the Sabres record over the past 11 games certainly shows that to be true.

Thompson has zero goals and Dahlin has zero pts over their last 8 games.
When the big guns are not scoring, the teams normally lose.
<strong>Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen</strong>, Victor Olofsson, Henri Jokiharju and Casey Mittelstadt are the Sabre fans usual targets.
All four are flawed but are not the main reason for the team slipping out of the playoff picture.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Scooter81</b></div><div>Flames ain’t trading Hanifin</div></div> Probably not, but a Flames fan did post this today, so it fit my efforts to upgrade the Sabres.

<strong> Spillman for Bloom good deal, Bloom could turn into a decent forward but Buffalo has many prospects better than he.
Portello for a third was wonderful recouperation of asset.

Mantha is Greenway on steroids, he would be a good addition or replacement for Jordan.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>brady_t12</b></div><div>Yeah tbh f it you can have him.</div></div> Thanks see above reply to comment #4.

Thanks for your input.
There was another Murray trade posted after I saw this one, so I changed this.

Let me summarize;
<strong>Mantha</strong> is a huge upgrade over Greenway.
Greenway is a third line player, Mantha is not doing very well this year but it is significantly better than Jordan.
<strong>Murray</strong> may not be any better than Comrie but Buffalo moves up to the first round.
While a similar trade was considered last year, the Sabres would have taken on two years of Matt's salary.
Finally, maybe Mike <strong>Bales</strong> can get Murray back to his Stanley Cup performance levels.
<strong>Hanifin</strong> Huge upgrade over Bryson, do I need to say any more.
<strong>Dube</strong> he would give the Sabres additional depth at center.

Sabres upgrade at defense, center and wing while Murray may find his way back to being a #1 GK

When was the last time a GK returned significantly more than a first.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheRevanchist17</b></div><div>VAN laughs their asses off and hangs up on you. Even if you take Myers for one year, you aren't getting Demko without giving up Power or Cozens.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Prime_Jimbo</b></div><div>I'd rather watch Myers continue throwing blind, backhanded passes in front of his own net for another year than see another wing added to the winger abundance in Vancouver.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheRevanchist17</b></div><div>nowhere near as funny as you thinking Oloffson and a 2nd is worth a Top 10 goalie in the league lol</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeautifulIdiot</b></div><div>Dude, when Demko is healthy, he is one of the top 7 goalies in the league, Power or Cozens is a MUST, otherwise we aren’t even considering moving him</div></div>

Let me start, that is not enough for a healthy 100% Demko.
He has played very well since returning to action but it is a small sample of games.
But let's break down the offer.

Taking on $6,000,000 of cap space has value.
Looking at other cap dumps, it alone has a value of at least a second if not more.
Taking two years of Andrew Ladd $5,500,000 AVV cost the Islanders 2 2nds and a 3rd.
So taking Myers should cost <strong>more than a second.</strong>

Olofsson alone is worth a bit more than a 2nd.
Then an early 2nd is included.

<a href="/users/Sabrebluehs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@Sabrebluehs</a> you may need to add, but TBH it is not a bad offer and needs a little trweeking.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BUF10</b></div><div>Pittsburgh first round pick is interesting because they are either going to miss or be a first round exit, but they don’t need Blueger, and they won’t trade Olofsson he’s on pace for 34 goals this season.</div></div> <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Funksoljah</b></div><div>I think it really could depend on how the next 5 games go before the TDL. This could really be a make or break stretch for the Sabres playoffs hopes. If they lose ground during this stretch it's possible they could part with Vic. He's scoring, but he's also a net negative 5v5 and may not be a player they envision as part of their core. Retooling the bottom 6 is something that needs to be considered to inject a little more defensive ability and grit into the line-up.</div></div> <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BUF10</b></div><div>It’s pretty clear that Adams isn’t trading away or adding new forwards this season. If he adds which I don’t think is likely it’s going to be a defenseman.</div></div> <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DragonKnight</b></div><div>Which approach should the Sabres realistically take?
Kevyn Adams: make trades, make playoffs, do the right things, pro-Sabres <strong>what trades for players has he made, he has traded players away and received good returns but never traded for a roster player by trading away picks or prospects</strong>
Darcy Regier: do nothing, do not make playoffs, do the wrong things, anti-Sabres, get fired <strong>I am not sure which Darcy Regier to which you are referring.
But 3 of the top seven and two of the top 3 scorers of the last Sabre team to win the Presidents trophy were all brought in by trades.</strong></div></div> Here is the issue everyone.
Is the objective to make the playoffs? Well then trade futures now to achieve that objective.
Is the objective to win the Stanley cup? Well then let Quinn, Peterka, Krebs, Power etc. reach their potential then trade to fill in the gaps reach the ultimate goal.

As to the current team.
The objective is to reduce goals.
That can be achieved by improving the GK, defensemen or adding defensive forwards.
Blueger may not score goals, but he can stop the other team from scoring, especially on the PP which is a huge weakness for the Sabres.

As stated above this could be a win win trade.
Buffalo reduces the Goals against and gets a pick for the future to achieve the ultimate goal.
Pittsburgh improves their scoring.

<strong>Buffalo fans need to keep their eye on the prize, the Stanley Cup, this team is not ready to compete for that.</strong>

Well considering how many Sabre fans were trading Casey for a bag of pucks this trade looked good.
Buffalo adds a RHD, improves its forwards defense by inserting Asplund and adds a future second round pick.
Over all the Sabres reduce the goals against this year, cut their cap and add trade capital for next year with the second.

<strong>EDIT OK think of the trade Mittelstadt for Schenn, Asplund and a second.
Rasmus takes Casey's spot in the line up and Buffalo upgrades the RHD.
Buffalo does not need to score more goals, it needs to stop them.
Casey and Bryson have the teams worse +/-, this replaces their collective -28 with a collective +7 while ONLY losing 4 goals season to date.
That sounds like making the team a whole lot better!</strong>
