I think we're a few pieces away from being contender long term, but only a couple of those are major pieces or pieces that are hard to acquire.

That's just in terms of roster though. The players that are already core players here also need to develop and improve, and some of them need to mature physically.

Totally agree. The needs the Sabres have aren't deal breakers but can be tricky to get the right 'ones' via trades, FA, TDL.
 
I don't think there are many people like that at all. We are in the middle of the staircase, not at the bottom, but still 7-8 steps from the top. People don't think we are 1-2 steps away, but they do want us to take one or two more steps toward the goal. Our 1st this year is not going to help climb a step for 3-6 years, unless you trade it for someone that can help you take a step sooner.

I can see that logic, but I can also recognize that the first this year, in a super deep draft is likely going to be an important cost controlled asset to help up when the window is open or as a trade piece to get us over the line when the window is open.
 
They weren’t going to qualify Asplund anyway. I think he‘s got game but clearly isn’t a system fit.
 
Why does it seem like we overpay for our in coming players and dont get enough for our outgoing players?

Just part of being a sabres fan.
