But if no other GM is willing to pay that price, the price will come down.

To be honest, steady and boring is precisely what the Sabres need on defense.

Of course they want you to pay to read their "premium" content. -

I was in a dark place at the end of the season. -
He's a fourth liner according to Daily Faceoff. I like him as a player, but we just stocked up with other bottom sixers like him.

Doesn't redeem you. Sorry.

You could say having a wealth of prospects that are similar is a good thing: Trading Savoie had very little impact on our organizational depth at forward. I think that was me but I don't care. I'm rockin' a summer cold and it sucks. -

To put it another way: If he had developed more quickly and had become our 3C himself, we'd be happy. Either way, the pick turned into our 3C (and another prospect to boot). I'm happy. -
The player the Sabres got in exchange for Cole Hutson. That should clear things up.

I mean, he hasn't even had the customary double hip surgery yet.

We have cap room and a spot -- to get Tkachuk, what would you now give up?

I'm sure there have been conversations between Appert, Lindy and Keyvn, as well as the scouting department. But again: 6 games is not a valid sample size. -

Ppg in the AHL? He scored 5 points in 6 games. Not a ppg Ridiculously small sample size -

Who cares? Get the best assets you can. They become trade capital. Why all the hand wringing? I think a lot of fans are too plugged into the NFL draft. The NFL drafts mature prospects that are ready or nearly ready for NFL play. The NHL drafts true prospects before a lot of them even need to shave and have to develop them into NHLers. Not everyone an NHL team drafts is ever going to play on the team that drafted them. They become assets that may play for the team, may be moved to another team to get a needed asset, or may not even pan out. Savoie is a good prospect but he still hasn't played more than handful of games in the AHL and in big tournaments has been overshadowed by allegedly lesser players. -

And the reason Savoie is now EDM's best prospect is that their prospect pool isn't that great. -

He's clearly not Buffalo's best anymore. But your point is accurate; he wasn't even before the trade. -

...and suddenly he's a second liner, not a fourth liner that was bumped off the roster by Okposo? -

This really struck me as significant at the time. At the time I felt that it was a case of Benson being really special and having a more mature (smarter) game. I didn't really see it as significant. But in the end the Cup went to a team that plays fast, tenacious, two-way hockey. -
I think Bryson's game is more complete than Clague's. He logged a lot of minutes late last season and was rarely winceworthy.
