If we are able to land one of these guys with an extension in hand, I’d be ecstatic. I still would’ve liked to land a goalie this offseason, but it appears that ship has sailed (could always circle back to the market at the deadline if you’re in a playoff race and goaltending hasn’t panned out).
Imagine a D corpos of:
Samuelsson – Dahlin
Power – Pesce/Hanifin
E. Johnson – Clifton

Yes please. As it stands, our d corps should be marginally improved from last season with the additions of Clifton and Johnson while also factoring in some internal growth. The addition of Hanifin or Pesce would push our back end from a question mark to a true strength.
Hanifin – Dahlin
Power – Clifton
Samuelsson – Johnson

Haven’t we already heard that Pesce wouldn’t waive his no trade to come to the Sabres or was that just hearsay
