  1. I just don't know if Drouin would be a wise move for us.

     

    There's still a lot of uncertainty with this team. The core of young talent seems very promising, but we need to acknowledge that nothing is certain when you're the second youngest team in the league. We used up a great deal of our assets in the ROR, Lehner and Kane trades, and I'm not sure GMTM would want to wager even more of our remaining assets (2016 picks, Fasching, whomever) on further uncertainly with Drouin.

     

    I'd rather hold on to our remaining assets or trade for someone with maybe a lower ceiling but more consistency. 

  2. This is beyond speculation, simply for fun, but if the Bolts have as bad a riff between Cooper and Drouin as some are saying, how much would the Sabres have to give up to get him? Our #21, Zadarov and Compher? Throw in next year's first as well? 

  3. My only question here, and it's purely because I'm not as much an X's and O's guy than some of you, is that if Eichel can play the number one center role this coming season, how much better is he really than Reinhart? There's no doubt that he's been much more coveted but we're still talking about the past two years' second overall picks. 

     

    Again, I'm noy trying to be skeptical of Reinhart (quite the opposite) but how much can we expect from him as compared to Eichel in the next two seasons? Is this a guy who won't be making an impact until 2017, 2018?

  4. I may sound like I'm playing NHL14 here but what I would LOVE for the Sabres to do is go up to Callahan with big money and say,

     

    "Look Ryan, we can't promise you much success this coming season, but we're going to make a big splash next summer (Kane?) and name you captain. We're gonna be a Stanley Cup competitive team in a year and we're building it around you."
