Okay Ralph.  Here's your challenge.  You've got your forwards back.  Prove me wrong.  I hope you do.

Two forwards, they still need another 2C and a scorer and not the same guy... this isn't a West Virginia joke... how do you know you are talking to a West Virginian... he introduces you to his wife and his cousin and there is only one woman standing there...

I really don't think we are getting a 2C from anywhere else. It's going to be Cozens or possibly Mitts. Like it or not.

The offseason we might. This deadline is just going to be shedding some of the fat

It could happen. We all hate GMTM, but even he was capable of adding a 2C for a reasonable cost. It happens, we just have to be the ones there and ready when one shakes loose, or have to be the ones to use our offer to convince a team they can shake him loose, or we have to be the ones to identify a soon-to-be 2C correctly

It could but realistically I can't see it. Between the roster holes we have this offseason, cap space, and a higher availability of 2C's available in the offseason, I can't see Botterill making a big move like that right now.

That's what I mean, I'm talking about this offseason. I certainly don't expect anything big at the trade deadline. 

I'd only trade the UFAs that I think don't contribute much

That's what I was saying in the first place haha I think we're in agreement here

I'm hoping he trades the UFAs for some younger prospects with high upside. That or get some 2-4 round picks in there

Neither one has shown any evidence they are ready to be a 3rd line NHL center let alone a 2nd line Center

Agreed. But sadly that's the reality of the situation.

How? What are you giving up to get them? I really don't think any top notch FAs will have Buffalo on their list of possible destinations.

Sabres should look for a 2nd center that has the flexibility to move to W when Cozens is ready to take over the #2 role. Can't count on DC or Mitts until they truly show it at the NHL level.

The Sabres, despite injuries and a roster nearly devoid of offensive talent, have somehow hung in there. It would be a shame if Botterill didn't find a way to reward them with a little help and the chance to make a run. 

Think I heard we are 2nd most in man games lost

Isn’t that what Johansson is suppose to be?

I can't get there with you this time. Unlike fans, Botterill can't be fooled by a few games. This team went 4-4-1 in the homestand. Not nearly enough. I doubt the GM is up for sacrificing anything of the future for this team.

Yuck. Loser mentality. The future is now.

the truth does seem to be that injuries have played a big part in this team's ups and downs. I hate using any excuse but after seeing what a big difference having VO and dare I say it KO in the lineup makes I am on board with maybe thinking that we are on the right track. I still strongly believe that we need a 2nd center and I do not mean either of Mitts or DC...

Name one deal of GMTM at reasonable cost
