I really want him in Buffalo because him coming here opens up trade possibilitys in Zemgus, Evander and Tyler. Trading any of them off for defensive help would be huge. I don't know if this current roster is good enough to get a playoff spot. But landing him and then a trade of possible others would give us a far better chance of making the playoffs.
This is why I'm so big on drafting well. If that means you hire as many scouts as needed to find these players then so be it. Let's get one thing straight it's much harder for Buffalo to land quality free agents without paying them more than they are really worth plus Buffalo isn't an attractive destination.
Him going to Chicago or Pittsburgh would just prove the rich get richer.
