Miss the playoffs. I won't be happy with the pick, but KA is going to trade down to 10 and take Quinn, picking up Andrew Copp in the process, sign my boy JF to a great value deal, and pick up a capable GT, and we'll all gingerly touch glasses as we toast a Sabres Berth next playoffs.

Vinnie Hinostroza, Dom Simon, apparently two examples of the types of guys who will suddenly become available for your bottom for six for pennies on the dollar because they won't be qualified. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, that move is only useful if there are 3-5 more trades to bolster it.

How is trading for a 50pt 2nd line center with Staal's level of experience the same as trading for a 40pt winger without that level of experience?

Do I think the Sabres make the playoffs with Staal rather than Johnasson this year? No I don't. Therefore it isn't all that different. Maybe you think Staal is the thing that tips us over the edge, in which case let's agree to disagree. 10 points, C vs W and a similar level of experience isnt the difference to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether we'd be sniffing around the actual playoffs would depend on if Staal can have the afffect on Skinner I am hoping for 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetlou Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Back to the Domi/ Anderson trade... I believe Montreal identified a player they wanted and didn't mind over paying to get him. Montreal has been very aggressive this off season and looking to make improvements right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They drank the Kool-Aid Blue Milk that they're really able to compete as a playoff team next season because they made a 24-team field.
