To trade, or not to trade?
That is the biggest question the Buffalo Sabres will have to ask themselves in the days leading up to the 2016 NHL Entry Draft. If Sabres GM Tim Murray feels he can acquire a few impact players through free agency or other means, there really is no need to do anything but stand pat and use the 8th pick that the team already holds.
However, a team that is looking to make the playoffs sooner than later can’t always rely on draft picks to blossom. Some players, such as Jack Eichel, make an impact right away.
