No immediate help whatsoever but Ethan Miedema plays for the same junior team Crouse was with. He has similar size and stats to Crouse.

If he pans out he could be a replacement for Greenway.

Love the concept of Miedema becoming this type of player for the Sabres 

Love the kid

6’4. 215lbs 26 year old with decent contract. 
 

has had back to back 20 goal + seasons, kills penalties , fights   

Would have to overpay to get him but he is exactly what this team  needs

I was dead set against this and all forward trade ideas, but looking at today’s lines and how ineffective our bottom six has been, I’m reconsidering my opinion.  Another Greenway type acquisition?

except that Crouse has had as many goals in the last 2 years as Greenway has had in his career.

Why do you think he is available?   What would he cost?

I don’t think he is and a lot.  But as the Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase taught me a long time ago - everyone has their price

Pass.  Goalie.  That's all.

Again I’ll hold you to the fire. Please provide the name of one goalie who would be available?

James Reimer.  The perfect veteran goalie to take the Anderson role.

Why does Greenway need to be replaced? He's got tools, he's playing well and he's on an upward trajectory.

Why would the Red Wings trade him after just acquiring him? Don’t they need him to the their backup ??

Because it’s “trade for every team’s best young players szn”.

The kid is 4-5 years away from the NHL, Greenway will be over 30 by then.
