It wasn't because the list is bad, I just want everyone to see who the #1 player of the decade isThe RW list was bad, but it wasn't this list bad.
And if you want to be fair, it should really be more like LW+RW vs D and the D list looks even worse if you go that way.
Buffalo Sabres
Q: Two-part question: Which defenseman will be moved, and how will they acquire a second-line center?
The Sabres have to do two things this offseason: trade a defenseman; acquire a second-line center. Only time will tell if both can happen in the same move.
The UFA market doesn't have the solution, unless you're a believer in Carl Soderberg, Derick Brassard, or Erik Haula. Internally, although the line of Victor Olofsson, Marcus Johansson, and Dominik Kahun gelled together well toward the end of the season, Johansson is better suited on the wing, not as a second-line center. Former top-10 pick Casey Mittelstadt has been a flop thus far.
There's also a logjam defensively, specifically on the right side, with Rasmus Ristolainen, Brandon Montour, Henri Jokiharju, and Colin Miller in the fold. Ristolainen seems most likely to be moved, but he alone won't be enough to land a quality pivot. General manager Jason Botterill will have to get creative.
They said he wouldnt be a super high cost. Who knows what that means thoughi want Strome but I don’t see a deal that can be made without giving up our first or Cozens.

Yeah that's bananas. No one is giving up an asset like that for Strome. He's a decent player and I'd love to have him here given our need at Center, but he's got his limitations as a player.i want Strome but I don’t see a deal that can be made without giving up our first or Cozens.

I think we still add in that deal, but that's a hell of a lot closer than a top 10 pick or Cozens.Mitts for Strome seems like what it might take.
It gives Chicago a lower cost option with potential upside.

Maybe. I would think there'd be more to the deal than Mittlestadt though. Blackhawks fans say their biggest need is at LD. I'd dangle one of Johnson or Samuelsson along with Mitts and hope they bite.I don’t think Mitts gets it done though. Someone is going to offer a better piece surely.

I’d throw out Ryan Johnson and a protected 2021 1st for Strome
