Byram vs Power - Who are you keeping long-term?

Pretty sure the league will still value Power more than Byram 

I would certainly be on the phone to Vancouver (since Quinn is likely to walk once his contract is up) to see if there is interest 

I'd be asking how much they value Tuch as well 

 

Why do you assume that Quinn is likely to walk once his contract is up?

He's talked about wanting to play with his brothers in NJ 

I think Canuck fans are bracing for it

If we are talking about trades. 

With Kesselring out, the time is now to go get another defenseman.

They’ve managed to survive with Bryson, but he’s a band-aid — an emergency option, not someone you want playing every night.

UPL for Tyler Tucker from St Louis

Does anybody trust that we’d get good return for either of them?  Who’s our GM?

I think the overriding factor of who stays or go will be who is the better player/fit for the Sabres, with contract/cap considerations second and the type of return 3rd.

Well some here would argue that the JJP, Mitts and McLeod trades are looking pretty good from a current Sabres perspective, even if scoring is down to 2.8 goal per game and the team overall is still mired in the Pit of Despair.  The critics would point to the bad Malenstyn, Norris and Greenway trades on the other side of the ledger.
