sorry to hijack your thread Axel but might as well
SAbres are also sellers too. a more detailed thread likely to follow. having said that we like our core and our direction for next year, so our young guys and our goalie aren't on the block. they could be traded but only for deals that make us better next year!
We have only 2 pending UFAs Goalie Marc Denis (he's been in a tough CPHL situation this year, but could help provide backup insurance with a solid OV ranking, we could pick up most of his $$ and would be looking likely for a good ECHL F or G in return) and versatile cheap lw/c/rw Adam Mair, who we would flip for a similar but younger less experienced guy
we have a few other solid veterans that I think could make a playoff team better with good EX/LD and or DF values this include Dave Scatchard (c/rw has had really a great year for us, all things considered), D Greg Devries (overmatched as a top pairing guy for us but good DF and other rankings that make him useful), D Nolan Pratt (solid DF rating) and D/RW Wade Belak (everyone wants him)
we would consider moving Ryan Smyth or Steven Reinprecht for packages of players that involve at least one good young/cheaper top 6 forward, and CPHL ready assets
