Assuming the hawks are okay with that, I wonder if the Sabres would add that first (18th) to the washington deal and ask for Dylan Strome as well? two birds one stone kinda thing (RHD and 3C)

Well, if this doesn’t get them to the playoffs, nothing will. You’ve burned all the assets for a bunch of one year contracts and you’ve managed to have no money to re-sign anybody next year.

Well, if this doesn’t get them to the playoffs, nothing will. You’ve burned all the assets for a bunch of one year contracts and you’ve managed to have no money to re-sign anybody next year.

Realistically, they won't be able to re-sign everyone, but they have to do whatever it takes this year to make the playoffs. If they don't, a lot of people will lose their jobs. However, most of the key players, such as JJ, Konecny, Quinn, and Levi, will be getting contracts to return next season.

The assets they gave up were expendable, and they already have many more great prospects and pieces for the future.
