'If the Sabres aren’t going to sign Campbell, which appears where they’re headed, then they darn well better look to trade him. With or without Campbell, it’s hard to envision this team making a long playoff run, not with Ottawa likely awaiting it out of the gate. Reality indicates the franchise would be better off investing in its future rather than trying to wring every ounce of potential out of the present. That means trading Campbell, presuming the Sabres can obtain reasonable value in return.'
