Trades can best occur when a team uses a strength with depth and depletes the depth by moving a player to address a weakness.
Where are the Sabres apparently deep? In goal!
Trade Biron, and maybe even Noronen, for the best the Sabres can get. Keep Miller, or trade him and keep Biron or Noronen.
Sign a cheap free agent goalie like Bob Essensa- and never play him, but keep him for insurance to the young guy.
The Sabres goalies are the only true tradable strength the team has. They are the only guys who can be moved that will improve the team elsewhere- trading Gratton, Zhitnik, Connolly, etc., will hurt this team. Trading Brown, etc., will have no effect.
