I have a lot to do with the Sabres in order to build this team into a contender. Given the limited trades, i cannot waste a season's worth of trades otherwise this rebuild will take years. That said, this thread is a preliminary feeler thread to figure out who are looking to make deals season 1. So lets hear it, who are the buyers, who are the sellers? Anyone looking to make deals right out of the gate? What are your assets, what are your needs?
While I understand the game has yet to come out and player overalls still need to be discovered, i feel we are marginally intelligent and seasoned nhlers who are probably aware of where their team is right now.
(In keeping with real life) I, Tim Murray, will work on the philosophy of building through the draft, developing players, and adding via trades.
The Buffalo Sabres will be looking to buy and sell.
Looking to buy: 2015 and 2016 first rounder picks, FWD and DEF 82+ overalls, Toughguys Looking to sell: Goalies (NHL and prospect level), RWs (NHL and prospect level), Veteran D, future 1st rounders 2017+, all late round draft picks (might be useless)
If you think you might be in the business of buying or selling, please post so i can get a head start on homework. obviously no trades can be made yet but id rather have an idea of who might be looking to make moves between now and the game coming out.
Thanks all!

As my roster stands ATM; I'll be looking to deal one of Gudlevskis or Valisevskiy (Both high caliber G prospects) I'll be looking to deal one or more of my prospect FWDs for a Veteran top 6 FWD I'll be looking to deal Ohlund whom I expect will be ranked as a Depth defenseman Due to the excessive youth on my team i'll be willing to deal all but my 2015 1st round pick
So assuming my roster is as I predict, i'll be buying and selling

Depending on how much EA will screw up player attributes, I might be looking for a goalie or two.. Vasilevskiy could be of interest and I might need a starting goalie as well (in case Elliott ends up below 82)
I'm quite sure with Buffalo we could work out some sort of deal as well.
On the other hand, not looking to make too many trades in first season, just want to add a 2015 first round draft pick.

From what I've seen on predictions of player ratings, I'll need some offense and a little bit of depth defenseman

I'm definitely open to move all my 1st round picks. Dustin Brown will not be on my opening night roster as of now. Hes definitely available. Richards, Gaborik, Kopitar, Carter, Doughty, Quick are untouchables for 1st season.

Speedy forwards are usually my go to for trade targets. I do like Hodgeson too. But I suspect him to be an FP (although I disagree with that)/

St. Louis probably looking for an upgrade in goal (both short as well as long term) + 1st round picks 2015 and 2016.
Potentially OTB:
Berglund Lapierre Lindstrom Pajaarvi
Leopold Cole Butler Jackman
Elliott
Hard to deal but debatable:
Jaskin, Schwartz, Rattie, Fabbri, Binnington

But I suspect him to be an FP (although I disagree with that)/ i dont think coho is going to be moved season 1, possibly due to the FP reason, also for the fact he is my #1 c and losing him would cripple my team season 1. what's your view on stafford?

Understandable. As for stafford, I have someone very similar in Stoll. Both great faceoff guys, quality 3rd liners. I think Stoll may be a tad faster.
