If every Sabre was traded tomorrow, which player or players would you really miss watching play for us?

Dahlin but he isn't at the level I expected him to be this season.  I think you can see the frustration building as the season goes on 


That being said, I'm giving him lots of leeway due to the summer he had.

I fully expect  he returns to elite level next season.

Dahlin - I'm giving him a pass for his degraded play this year due to all the personal stuff he's dealing with. Coming into this season I think he was a legitimate top-10 defenseman.

TNT - His inconstancy can be frustrating, but he's the most gifted offensive player we have. Plus he seems to have developed a mean streak.

Zucker - Just a hard-nosed, greasy guy that does a little bit of everything.

Doan - Same as Zucker but a dozen (I think) years younger.

Benson - Our little ball of hate. Plays with max effort every shift. Playmaking has improved this year. Needs to start scoring more goals. I think the Sabres did his development a disservice by throwing him right in the frying pan at 18 on a bad team.

Norris - (when healthy) is a very talented offensive centreman who plays a pretty responsible two-way game.

McLeod - Fastest guy on the team, outstanding penalty killer, doesn't wow defensively, but I feel like he's one of our better forwards in that aspect.

Tuch - On the fence here. Before this season, he was an excellent player. I think the losing is wearing on him because I don't think he's giving full effort on a lot of shifts.

Guys like Kulich, Ostland, and Rosen are just potential right now. Muel has been good this year.

Power and Byram can kick rocks. The rest of the forwards I wouldn't even notice if they were gone...same for the goalies.

The team needs a trade like 45 years back.  Gare, Shoney and Derek Smith to Detriot for McCourt, Foligno and Brett Peterson. Send a shock through the organization . 

In last place..again !  Nothing to lose but our minds. Sick of this nonsense. No one is safe. Get some freakin' grit.
