Jeremy White and Joe DiBiase discuss whether the Sabres should try to make an addition to their roster before the NHL Trade Deadline
Transcript
00:00Are the Sabres in a good spot to add if they want to?
00:07What I'm basically asking is assets, things to move to improve.
00:14Are there things to move to improve?
00:17I think so.
00:19I think they have probably pieces on all fronts that would be attractive
00:25that you could also live without,
00:28and that would be the NHL roster,
00:31that would be the prospect pool,
00:32and that would be your draft capital.
00:34They're not missing any picks, so there's that.
00:38You might feel more willing to trade your first-round pick
00:41if you're not bottom five in the standings.
00:44What about if you're hosting the draft?
00:47Crap.
00:49I didn't think of that.
00:52I think you should still be willing to do it,
00:54even though you're hosting the draft.
00:55But maybe.
00:56Maybe that plays into it.
00:58But the roster would be my question.
01:01Do they want to add, or do they want to make a hockey trade?
01:05How big do they want to swing?
01:07Do they want to go get a rental,
01:08or do they want to make an Owen Power for an amazing forward type of trade?
01:13How big does it get,
01:15and where do you feel like you're okay?
01:17Like, I would look at both positions right now and feel like they kind of have depth at both.
01:23Right?
01:24Like, maybe you feel like you take one of your defensemen,
01:27you know, Byram was a big talking point in the offseason.
01:30You want to trade Byram in a pick for someone's really good forward at the top, Panarin.
01:34Um, then am I still feeling okay about how good I am on my blue line?
01:40Do I still feel like I have a deep blue line if I make that trade?
01:44I don't think you're trading a forward for a defenseman.
01:47So, I think that would probably be the move.
01:50Unless, again, you're going, yeah, let me throw a first round pick in Hellenius.
01:54Like, you have, I think, enough down below the NHL roster
01:58where if you wanted to make a trade like that,
02:00find a team that's been really bad this year, that's about to blow it up,
02:04and they want to start moving veteran pieces off.
02:07And if they're looking for those type of assets,
02:09I don't think the Sabres should be afraid at all to do that.
