For sure, but that could be acquired through free agency. Not saying no trades will be made, but I don't see any huge trades sending away our top youth for those vets

We'll see who's available & why, not saying I disagree with you but there might be a must have player available.

As long as we don't part with a future stud to get him, I'm all for it. But isn't that why we got gionta?

Yes.

Blysma comes with instant cred on the coaching end, and I would be floored at this point if Eichel heads back to college.

so... where does that leave the Sabres heading into next year...

ROR still in play...

• Bob McKenzie: The haven’t been any substantive talks between the Avalanche and Ryan O’Reilly’s camp about a contract extension. He will be a UFA after next season. The Avalanche love him as a player, but they may not be able to or may not want to pay him market value. They need defensemen and McKenzie has always assumed they would trade him. More of a feeling than a fact.

Eichel, ROR and Girgs... 3 beastly pivots with a Larson chaser that would make the Sabres a very difficult proposition to play against evey single night.
