There is ALWAYS a spot for another top 6 winger.  It might be on the 3rd line, but that is a 1st World problem that would be a very nice problem to have.

You also have to give something to get something.

Yes.  But the Sabres don't ALWAYS have to be the team giving up the best player.  What's the point of having too friggin' many prospects to ever have them all in the lineup if you aren't willing to use some of them as the proverbial sweeteners to actually be the team giving up quantity for quality.

So a player I’ve been thinking about is Kulich.  He’s a center, right?  And he’s not really a bottom 6 type of center.  If we go and get a 2C then what are we going to do with Kulich?  He’s not a 4th line guy.  Do we send him back to Rochester?  
i think he’s possibly going to be a big piece going out in a trade because there’s not really a place for him.

If a move of Peterka leads to a top 6 forward or a #2 center, are they really giving up the best player though?

Fair but kulich can play wing too
