This isn't my point again, you guys are focusing on the wrong parts of my argument.
The Sabres aren't in a position to move draft picks for players, especially a player like Miller who imo is no more than a complimentary piece.
At this point, the Sabres have their Stamkos and Hedman (Eichel, Dahlin) what they need is to continue to develop and draft more players that can come in on cheap contracts and contribute, like the Lightning have had. Tampa has only made a move involving trading draft capital for a helpful player now, when they were competitive and had a wealth of younger players contributing.
The McDonagh trade, the Coburn trade. Those deals were made when Tampa had an argument to be genuine cup contenders. Buffalo is not that, at least not yet. Miller would be a perfect fit NOW, and would be a great player to add. But the Sabres simply aren't in that position, at least IMO.
They need to see what they have in Rochester first and foremost (Smith, Goalofsson, Asplund, Nylander, etc..) and they have more picks to keep adding to that. In two or three years, maybe the Sabres could be in a position to move future assets for an improvement now.
Unless Buffalo can get a young NHL player that will be a core piece, then I don't see them moving their 1sts. Miller is nice, but at the end of the day, he would just be a good complimentary piece. I'd rather take our chances with the picks and see if we can strike gold, or just simply add productive players on ELC deals. I trust this scouting staff to be able to add really good players with those picks, and we can solve the hole Miller would fill without giving up a 1st and taking on Callahan, that's all my argument is.
