What else would we have to add?

Because IF it's true that Byfield is out there (which I highly, highly, HIGHLY doubt).......the first thing that popped into my head was Power for Byfield. Kinda like the Johansen for Jones swap of years ago.

I don't think the add to Cozens would need to be that much. Their progression has basically been the same.

Man that would be an exciting deal.

My ONLY hangup on Byfield - he hasn't played much at center. Is that purely because of the Kings loaded center spine? Or do they really think he's better off on the wing?

So. With no playoffs this year either we should look to trade atleast : Zucker, greenway jokiharju this deadline and Krebs, Byram , Samuelson cozens this summer

We should not "look to trade" Byram. We should look to keep him long-term unless he's not interested or if the trade offer of a lifetime comes around.
 
Trade deadline next week. I see lots of rumors about other teams but nothing coming out of Buffalo.

wakie wakie Kevyn.

He’ll use this winning streak and the success of the Amerks as his reason for doing nothing at the deadline.

Then they’ll use the heroic run out of the top ten in the draft with no pressure on them as the reason to do nothing in the offseason.

Whichever assistant coaches have their contract up may be replaced. That’s about it.

We will be out of next year’s playoff race by the new year again and he will cross his fingers for another heroic run to missing the playoffs by close enough to buy him yet another year of doing f***ing nothing.
 
Kevyn doesn't seem to have to many leaks, so the quiet is on par
It's the one (and maybe only) thing he's competent at.

Either that, or he really doesn't HAVE anything going on or plans for the trade deadline.

Hmmmm... I know where my bet would lie on that one.

but can't the other team leak? If Kevyn was actually talking to someone.

Never understood this take. There is more than just Buffalo unless Kevyn is just talking to himself....which is possible.
 
I don't like this silence around Zucker and Greenway, in theory Adams could have signed an extension with them a long time ago.

Take two to tango. I expect they'll go down to the wire. If the Sabres win the next four, there will be no trades.
What if they win two or three? I don't see the point, but it would be stupid to lose them for nothing at the end of the season. Sign them before the TDL or trade them, the team is not going to the playoffs anyway and I see this almost every season when a team starts winning games without pressure and then still picks in the top 10 in the draft.

Yeah, were all on the same page. I'm just saying what I think WILL happen, not what should.

The big question for me is whether Byram is really good or is Byram merely a Dahlin-merchant?

Connected to the Sabres in the past, would you give up your 2nd for him now ? is being asked below.

Can he play 2C and fill a Cozens void if he is dealt or moved to wing ? (Also considering Kulich).

Absolutely not. Wouldn't give up a 7th. Don't want him at all.

A 2nd? For Laughton? Hell no. He's at BEST a 3C on a good team, but more likely a 4C on a contender. He is in no way, shape or form a 2C on a team that has playoff aspirations.
