Sujet: Botterill's offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Skyraider112</b></div><div>I've said it once and I will say it again. John Tavares has every reason to sign in Buffalo although I know he won't. Two of his best friends are part of the Sabres organization (Moulson, Okposo). Also he would get to play with a boat load of young and talented players like Eichel, Reinhart, Mittelstadt, Nylander, Dahlin, Ristolainen, Guhle etc. Third of all he would undoubtedly be named captain of the team and that wouldn't happen on any other of his preferred teams except San Jose and Toronto. Fourth of all, unlike Toronto, we can offer him cash AND term. Lastly, Tavares could be the story of the year if he can lead a franchise with a 7 year playoff drought to the playoffs.</div></div>

I didn't say he wouldn't have any reasons not to. You could make an argument for every single team in the league. I said he won't. Buffalo is a pretty far stretch from the teams he's willing to meet with.

Sujet: Huge Trade with the Jets
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div>That's why there is the trade for Tanev, who I think would be the more important pickup here. Toronto get's bigger and way better on the Right side and the Left side is still really solid since Dermott, I believe, will be better than Gardiner as soon as next season.</div></div>

It's still no good. Byfuglien isn't worth giving up all of those assets for. He is aging and coming on to the back half of his career where a sharp decline can happen any time. And even with the tanev trade it's still no good because he's so injury prone. Those trades might make them a bit better for a season or two but after that their defense would be even worse than it is right now, and much much harder to fix when you have old players on bad contracts
