Think. So you expect Washington to trade a bunch of assets just to acquire 5.25m Risto, so the Sabres have cap to sign 6.8m Carlsson. Wouldn't Washington be so much better to keep all their assets and sign Carlsson? And he would sign for less than the 6.8m Sabres have to pay premium prices to attract UFAs.

Botterill will not change the core in this way. Signing Carlson maybe. Drafting Boqvist or Dahlin absolutely. Moving our best defensemen, absolutely not.
