What if, we trade Owen Power

I still can't believe the contract Adams gave him. OP is almost untradeable, the only thing he has is his draft pedigree.

The Original Poster is untradeable?   I don’t know.  I think we could something good in return. He shows intelligence in his posts and I think that would be attractive to another fan base forum.

The idea for trading power isn't because he is terrible or useless, it's because I think within the Sabres system we can replace him and get a different feel on that defense. I'm sure power will get better but this team needs a injection and I think we can get that by trading power. 

I also think that Power is more expendable than other pieces. I also don't want him traded by Adams or for a pick and a prospect. Someone mentioned Will Smith, that's along the lines I'm thinking. A good young forward and a sweetener like a 2nd. Young being being 26 or less. Ik some will roll eyes and be like omg we're just staying younger but I don't think this team is anywhere close and it's trading young for young. 

Or, trade him straight up for Crosby.

I like the idea of trading Power. And I'm not all that down on the player. I recognize that he has flaws, naturally.

My concern: It's so difficult to make a "hockey trade" once the season starts.

Always thought the Sharks were the best trade fit for us,   Tippet from the flyers is buzzing around as being avialable as well, but would want the flyers to add.
