Why do we need more prospects? Or even different prospects? The objective this summer should be to turn some of our wealth of futures into players that can make the team better *now*.

Sabres need to do a bit of both. Move a prospect those listed.... "and" move a prospect or a Krebs / Joker along with 11th OA. It is not a this or that... lots to be done by GMKA.

Therr is nothing realistic out there I would trade 11OA outright let alone add to it to get.
I could see buffalo do a small move down to the teens

Actually I'm fine moving some of the current prospects for future 1st and 2nd in the 25-27 drafts ot players draft who wont start an ELC till 25/26 or after. These can be used as deadlinr trade chips.
Charlie Elick is your guy in this draft. Slotted to go in the 20s but have seen mock drafts where he goes closer to 30.
Leafs have 23 and Sabres have 11. Is there anything you want from the Leafs that could bridge the gap between those two picks?
Alternatively, what is the best prospect Leafs could pluck from the Sabres for the 23rd pick? What about the 23rd pick + Liljegren.

Jersey ads are a disgrace
Detroit has so many defensive prospects that I think something like Tuomisto (23 years old 6'5 RD, ready to compete for a spot) for someone like Neuchev (raw but high offensive potential and younger) could make sense. Not sure how realistic that is.
Use Kulich or Rosen and the 2025 1st (protected) to go after a player who is ready to improve the team now. Draft a RHD with the 2024 pick and be set up for both next year and future years.
Or alternatively take a gamble on cheaper, unsexy players who are low risk. Lundkvist at Dallas needs a change of scenery or a vet like Jan Rutta who has been successful just being a D who doesn't need to go forward much.

Or just draft a D at 11 if you’re so set on adding one and trade a fwd prospect for now stuff / but in general, I agree with other sentiments that I don’t understand the point of making this trade? We have prospects coming up and 3 to 4 pieces already locked in on defense.

I don't see the point. We've spent a ton of time developing our top forward prospects. Just to trade them for a RD prospect outside of our organization doesn't make sense. You can just draft one with our 2nd round pick or with the 1st if one falls.

Y'all have to much power
I think the whole purpose is to see what younger, NHL ready, RHD, would be available if we were to make our forward prospects available. OP didn't say this was the only path or that these forward prospects cant be moved in other deals. Seems like it got a bit off the rails when the question was simple with not a lot of gray area.

I don't much see the point either. RHD is more a need on the NHL team than it is in the pipeline right now.
We've got Komarov in Rochester next year. We've got Strbak and McCarthy in their sophomore years in the NCAA next year. If Adams ever smartens up and signs Metsa (which he should ASAP), we'll have him too.
In the pros, Dahlin is going to hold down the #1 RD spot for a long time. Adams and Ruff have alluded to trying Power on the right more often and Sammy can play the right as well. We could use a more defensively-sound RHD in the NHL......but our prospect pool is fine.

He clearly and literally wrote "RHD prospect". Said nothing about "younger, NHL ready".

In reality, I just want a defensive, experienced and somewhat physical No.4 RHD who works well with one of our young high-octane LHD and who won't look out of place logging second pairing minutes. Ideally, the Stralman to one of our Hedmans, but in terms of impact, not necessarily playing style.
Will Borgen is a guy I was wanting for that role for quite a while. Someone not supremely talented, but totally up for the job.
Conor Clifton I thought would be able to be that guy, so far it hasn't materialized. Maybe Rutta could be it, I'd also totally sign Matt Roy if the possibility presented itself and the salary somehow could be made to work.

I would trade Kulich or Savoie for a young good and NHL-ready RD, but only Jiricek comes to mind and I don't think Columbus is trading him. And I don't see any point in simply filling the pool of prospects.

Don't sleep on me
I don't know if that solves either team's problems but I'd do it as a balancing move

The sabres need a big time player in the start of their prime. Too many young players will lead to too many expiring contracts at the same time. You’ll have to sell players for much less than their actual worth. Target a big time player from an organization that needs young players
They are on Jack Eichel/Sam Reinhart caliber of player away from the playoffs

Sabres should be packaging those prospects with other prospects and/or picks for established NHLers.

I'm intrigued. Very, very intrigued. Hell, if the scouting reports are accurate about Tuomisto.........you could probably get someone better than Neuchev out of us.
Rs pass, do not have RD/surplus
closest if you are interested is Jones
shoots lefty, plays either side
is 5'11, skates well, not a creampuff but not a clear the crease guy
right now he is depth in case Fox goes down
not looking for overpay, but not giving away for nothing
I'll add a 4th you give me a 3rd

Yeah that could just be a base, like I said, I'm not sure about the value as I rarely follow prospects after they are drafted.
