<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stadel</b></div><div>He's one of the better/more underrated forwards in the league. Id absolutely sign him to a long term deal around 8-9 mil. I dont believe the Sabres will want to spend anywhere near that. Jost is fine for 3C. They need an RHD and a goalie better than Luukkonen (for every big save he makes he lets in a softie)</div></div>
I expect that Devon Levi will sign when he college season is over. I expect a tandem of Levi and Luukkonen to be the longtime answer for Buffalo in goal. How ready is Devon Levi is the real question. If he can play right now, all bets are off. A veteran defenseman will definitely help, but adding a scoring forward with a high salary, isn’t really what they need. But they do need to get better in the face off circle and the penalty kill.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ginandtacos</b></div><div>This is a case where people think a trade is more attractive if you pile on more middling assets when really it isn't.

Domi on his own (with retention) is likely to fetch a 2nd, and if CHI seriously shopped McCabe with his reasonable cap hit I'm pretty sure they could do better than the rest of that package. Frankly if they can't get a 1st or equivalent I don't see why they'd move McCabe at all.</div></div>

Buffalo doesn’t need any salary retention, so they won’t ask you to take any. They have several second round picks to play with, and I don’t think you get more than two pretty high second rounders for those two. I would also rather give up Mittelstadt over Apslund, and I would imagine Chicago would be happy with either one of them.

Instead of Jeannot, I'd target Garland for the 3rd line RW spot - he's clearly available, fits the work ethic / speed / forechecking style Granato prefers and 5x5 possession driver than Olofsson. If Krebs slides up to take Mittelstadt's place and Jost drops back between Girgensons &amp; Okposo, a 3rd line of Asplund-Krebs-Garland could be pretty good 2-way line that controls play and chips in some offense without getting caved in like the current 3rd line does.</div></div>
Many Sabres fans on this website have an obsession with acquiring a physical winger, which Garland is not. Jeannot is the general Target of that obsession because he had a decent offensive year last season, is young like most of our roster, and plays a physical style. I like both players for different reasons, but Jeannot is the younger player and less expensive currently. Consequently, you know a trade for him would cost more, but they have plenty of draft capital they can use to make something like that happen.

Very uncertain after Levi</div></div>
Luukkonen is probably replacing Anderson on the roster next season full time whether you like him or not. Levi could be on the team by the end of the season. Portillo is not a sure thing to sign but for now he is still in the system. If you pull the trigger on the trade like this, you can guarantee Portillo does not sign. Of course he may not sign here anyway. And for that matter, Levi probably wouldn’t like having a veteran block his chance to play games with the Sabres. You may think he is going to sign and play games in Rochester. If that were the case he would have signed this summer. He and Portillo want NHL games. I think if the Sabres were willing to offer either one of them NHL time now they would have signed already.
