You gotta give something. Sabres need to stop winning, they can't keep taking on futures.

Unlikely.
Not trading Sam Bennett for a pending UFA, regardless of extension status given what Kane is going to demand money wise. The Sabres, given where they are now - are likely happy to continue building. They simply have too many holes on their roster still. You can't instantly fix things. The previous GM made some attempts to fill holes (Lehner), and they haven't worked. So now they get to focus in on that. Young developing D are likely near the top of their wish list. Maybe not picks, but high level prospects nearing NHL ready status...which hey, we have some of those!
