<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mikeyscav</b></div><div>I agree with finch above. And the Sabres defense was horrendous last year and will need big changes if we want to even consider being playoff competitive. Not re-signing Kulikov and Franson helps with that. Guhle gets the the NHL next year and Buffalo poised to sign KHL defender Viktor Antipin who was the awarded the best defender in the Gagarin Cup Final on the losing team. And maybe another signing on top of that</div></div>

Guhle definitely has shot at a spot. Unsure about Antipin with change in front office but he could still be added.
Blank/Risto
McCabe/Blank
Guhle/Bogosian
Gorges
I would try to move Bogosian if possible. If BUF eats 2 mil, his contract is roughly 3 mil per year, a team could see that as good value. I'd prefer Gorges with Guhle, throw Antipin next to McCabe, and trade or sign someone for Risto. It doesn't even out Lefty/Righty but it certainly is a start. I would expect to see 2 new defenseman regularly in the starting lineup. Could include Guhle and/or Antipin.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bonanca32</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>finchj15</b></div><div>Kane scored 28 goals this season... He was the 9th best scorer in the NHL based on goals per games played... BUF does not trade him unless it is for a top 4 defenseman. Not to mention you also add a second and a fourth in that trade. That is bad. NSH accepts right away.</div></div>

43 points? 28 goals is nice but i look at the points. Fiala is 20 and has great upside.</div></div>

Kane did not exactly have the greatest line mates that would net him a ton of assists. Much of that production was NOT on the same line as Eichel, O'Reilly, or Reinhart. He was playing with Gionta, Larsson, Folgino, Girgensons. If he isn't hurt with broken ribs at the beginning of the season, he is a 30 goal scorer. BUF won't trade him unless they get what they actually need, a top defensemen. It would not make sense to trade one of your top 6 forwards for a guy who has potential, but is not there yet. Fiala would hopefully put up the same amount of goal production as Kane. So hopefully Fiala turns into Evander Kane production. Not to mention the picks you added in? Makes no sense on Buffalo's end. If NSH is willing to talk Ekholm or Ellis, then the Sabres are willing to talk Kane. But not for Fiala. I get Fiala has potential, but this trade would just set BUF back.
