And I wouldn't be surprised if it was a stunner involving Hamiltion or Johnny.
I know people don't like the notion of trading Johnny. And he is HIGHLY entertaining. But I see him as an opportunity to really address the overall asset void in the organization if you can get someone to really pay up to get him. And I'm not convinced he's a guy you win with.

Definitely don’t want to see Johnny traded, but it would be a whopper of a return. I think the Sabres, tired of rebuilding, could put together an absolute beast of a deal to land someone like Johnny.
Not to exaggerate but something Tree needs to be very careful about is managing the culture of the team. He can’t allow what set in up in Edmonton to set in here. You can’t fall in love with your own players, and you can’t make trades out of emotion.
