Jason Robertson rumored to be on the trade block

[7+6=13]

I believe we're one excellent forward/center away from having a legitimate roster, that's not only playoff bound but we could contend.  That's without losing one via trade to acquire it.

If Robertson gets traded to the Sabres, we will likely be giving up at least two of our best young players to get him. There is no free lunch in this marketplace.

I would say no to such a deal. I suspect that most of the crowd here would say yes to such a deal.

If we do end up trading Power, I still maintain that we will regret having done so in 2-3 years.

I would trade anybody on this team not named Dahlin. Make this trade happen please and bring some excitement back to the city.

Therein lies the problem. Fans cling to the potential of a player vs cashing in while that player’s value is at it’s highest.  I too think Power will be a great NHL player. I just don’t think Buffalo, as a team, their fans and the overall mental health of the city can wait another 5 years before the needle moves with this team.  They need to fix it today.  Attendance will be abysmal this season.  Maybe then Terry will finally get the kick in the ass to make real changes to this team.

Where I do agree with you is that the owner has almost irreparably damaged this franchise and fanbase. He’s a fool owner who doesn’t have the self-awareness to recognize  how inept he  really is. I wish he would go on his big boat and sail away.

I don’t disagree at all and I’m not gonna cry if Power is traded. I’m just saying we will regret it eventually.
