Ok, well here is what I heard today; and this is just total hear-say from a guy who is connected pretty close with an NHL organization.
"The Sabres are being very aggressive right now talking trades, and will possibly move 2-4 players by or at the Draft. They are looking for size on their first line, and adding depth scoring on their second and third lines."
With that being said, my guess is, we may be moving one of Connolly or Roy, attempting to move Stafford, and possibly even an early draft pick and prospect if the right deal comes along.
Keep in mind my source isn't a GM, he's not an assistant GM, but he does work closely with the front office of an NHL franchise, and he's just relaying what he's heard around the office.
He has been right on several occasions, and he's been wrong on several occasions. He's not Ecklund, but he's not Dreger.
If for nothing else it makes for interesting discussion.
Hopefully if anyone is moved it's Connolly, Stafford or one of the odd man out defenseman Sekera or Butler. Hopefully Darcy makes some moves and not giving up high picks for a mediocre player. I like the trades he did way back when he acquired Briere and Dumont. Now those were great trades. The last few years I haven't been impressed at all and I'm not too fond of giving up 2nd round picks for a rental especially when this organization is big on building from within. This team needs offense and some offense prospects in the worst way.
