‘There is a cry among fans for the Sabres to make a major move, preferably to land a No. 1 center. This team could use a flag carrier up front. But that level of deal would not be easily accomplished because the Sabres are at the salary cap limit. Plus, there a handful of teams looking for premium offensive players and there are few available. The compromise solution might be a 1950s-style trade, one player for one player with the hope of giving one line a new look.’
