If Buffalo loses to Ottawa on Wednesday I think Regier is forced to make a move because Ottawa is really starting to close the gap between them and Buffalo for the division. Plus it's in the sabres heads that they can't beat this team. All I can say is if they lose to Ottawa please don't trade for some rental player off Carolina. This team needs someone that is young and is getting better and if your going to make a trade get someone that you can build around for years to come instead of a player that will be gone in a year or two. Regier better be paying alot of attention to his team and the teams in the division because Toronto is starting to rebuild and Burke isn't going to wait around like Darcy to make his team better. Darcy can't afford to sit back like he always does and make a minor roster move. This team isn't as good as people think they are. Yes they are a playoff team but if Miller goes down this team will sink fast! Only reason this team is where they are at this season is because of Miller and Myers. I hate saying that because I love the sabres but I speak the truth.

You should be executed by a firing squad for starting this thread. If I had a hammer...

The problem with your idea is that other GMs aren't going to trade their good players for Buffalo's bad players. Forget about any significant player moves from inside the division, that just won't happen. For the rest of the league, trades will have to be balanced not just by talent, but by cap hit. Finding a fair trade that helps both teams these days is like solving a Rubix Cube.

Buffalo doesn't have many tradeable assets that will get a return that fills a big hole. Vanek and Pominville have contracts that greatly reduce their value and tradeability. The better talent-to-cap players are ones that we probably shouldn't trade away in the first place. What we have are a few young players and prospects that could get a 2nd tier player to fill a need, nothing more. Any blockbuster deal that brings in a big time talent will also ship out a few players that the team needs, so it's pretty unrealistic to want or expect that to happen.

Well lets see! Do you think they can actually beat the Senators, Capitals , Penguins in a seven game series. Highly unlikely! I not saying that this team needs to make an instant move if we lose to Ottawa but the writing would be on the wall that they can't beat Ottawa. Darcy needs to unload some of the garbage and get pieces that will help this team in a seven game series without mortaging the future. One guy that might not be bad to get is Stempniak(from West Seneca so a local guy) off Toronto but it would have to be in a three way trade with them. This team is capable of making playoffs and that's it and if anyone thinks this team is good enough to make the cup with this current roster you will need your head examined. Difference between this years team and the last two years is that they have been winning alot more 1 goal games than in the past because of Miller. I'm not trying to start shit here but it would be nice for Darcy to earn that paycheck of his and maybe dump the trash and bring in a guy or two that can help this team!
