Sabres need to toughen up to go further than last year. Yeah, they will make the playoffs but if they do not get bigger and toughen up they will not last very long. Look at what the west coast teams are doing and you can see my point.
Buffalo needs more grit on the wings with bigger, nastier defensemen. We were so close the last two years and slowly let it slip away. I would welcome McKee back in a minute, if we are to trade then trade smart, long term. Not a rental player, that is ridiculous.
Unfortunetly to get quality you have to give up some. I would trade Derek Roy, Kotalik, Kalinin or Afinegenov to get some help on the defense and the third and fourth lines[img:left]
