Hoping the expansion draft opens up some affordable trades as is being reported. If so I can see the Sabres being active in that front.
For the forward group, I'd like to see them consider the following:
Trade for:
Rickard Rackell (2nd+?)
Mattias Ekholm(3rd?)
The prices are likely too low most years, hoping this year is the exception.
Sign 2 of:
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins
Brandon Saad
Blake Coleman
Barklay Goodrow
Nick Bonino
Brett Ritchie
Nick Foligno
Nick Bjugstad
Difficult to guage whether Buffalo will be able to attract these players or not but if they can I think they would be on the right path.
