    Kovalchuk?

    There is a very good chance he could be moved out of Atlanta... I think he would be exactly what this team needs. I mean we have a solid defense, some good role players on offense, and miller of course is playing out of his mind. This team is just a little start power away from making a legit run at the cup....

    Any thoughts? I'd give up a little bit of young talent to make a real run at it this season. Wouldn't you?

    I think you'll have to give up more than a little bit of young talent. I'd be willing to bet Atlanta will seek at least a first round pick plus some prospects. I know he's probably gone after the season, so I'd be guessing that wherever he's traded will probably be only for the rest of this year.

      Right and because he will only be around for just the end of the season I don't think the price would be quite that high. At some point the franchise needs to roll the dice and make a run at the cup. Maybe this could be it at the right price..

        Atlanta is most likely going to be shopping him. I really don't see him staying there. I've secretly wondered in my head how great it would be for Buffalo to make this move, but there is no way it's happening. It's not their style and it would take quite a bit to have him come this way. We can always hope though.

          I'm not saying Kovy isn't worth it, or the Sabres shouldn't ( I hope they don't, being a Leafs' fan", I'm just wondering if they can A.) afford his salary for the rest of the season, cap-wise, and B.) are willing to give up a first round pick plus some.

          I just don't see Buffalo being willing to do it. If they did, it would be great for Sabres fans, and it would suck for the rest of the East.

              After what he's said about Ruff in the press, he'd never play in Buffalo.

                Apparently there is a Chicago rumor out there about Kovie. I wouldn't bother renting the guy - it's too much to give up just to have him for 4 months.

                However, I would consider inquiring after him this Summer. He's clearly one of the best pure goal scorers in the league.

                  I just wish for once either the Sabres or Bills would just say **** it. Let's win it all THIS YEAR. RIGHT NOW!

                    How about doing both, acquire him now and resign him.

                    Bottom line is the Sabres are missing a piece.... If they want to win it all they have to make a major move IMO

                          Considering what they would have to give up to get a guy like that, cap space wouldn't be an issue at all.

                            If they wanted a prospect what do you think they would want? My guess is someone like Gerbe and a draft pick.
