<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tjm220</b></div><div>Jeff Skinner chose to come to Buffalo via trade, and they really didn’t give up much to get him. Also, recent history says Taylor Hall refutes your claim that no good players sign in Buffalo. It didn’t work out, but he still came here. Sure the last time they got an impact free agent was Jaro Spacek, but eventually they won’t have to settle for busts.

Also, the general idea that a team needs to overpay in trades because players don’t want to go there makes no sense. The trades are negotiated by the teams, not by the players being moved. Even players with no trade or no movement clauses only get to decide if they accept the deal that’s been agreed on, not who or what assets are involved.</div></div>

Skinner came from a crappy Carolina team and brought him closer to his hometown. He had one year left on his contract. The only reason he is still in Buffalo is because they overpaid him.
Hall only came here because of his relationship had with Krueger. Notice though it was only a 1 year overpayment contract!!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sabres89</b></div><div>I like Carlo and Dillon as targets, really adds to our d. The op is not close for boston, I would see what the real cost of Carlo was. Probably leave swayman out, the goalies won't be left to fend for themselves as much with these upgrades, just grabbing a vet goalie to split time with Levi would probably be fine. I don't mind jeannot, especially at 4m for a year, but you lost me at offer sheeting, offer sheeting is a bold move, doesn't seem like a move the Sabres would make. Kinda feels like throwing rocks at a hornets nest too, and jeannot is a risky player to get yourself in hot water over.</div></div>

The only reason I did the offer sheet as I don't think they will trade him since they gave up so much to get him. I know there is always fear of retribution from a team if you offer sheet one of their players, but tampa has no leverage as they are up against the cap and have like no early picks for the forseable future to make an offer sheet to any of the Sabres.
