The NHL trade deadline sell off has begun

I could talk about last night's epic meltdown by the Sabres. But, I'd rather not.

With Montreal, Tampa Bay, and Dallas making "seller" type trades in the past 24 hours, I really hope that the Sabres are getting ready to get maximum return for guys like Paul Gaustad, Brad Boyes, and Jochen Hecht (if he gets healthy).

I also would love to see the Sabres hunt around for some deals that would mix things up to try and build the team for the next 3 to 5 years.

For instance, the LA Kings are desperate for offense. Would they part with picks/prospects/young NHLers for guys like Roy & Stafford.

Unfortunately, they moved a couple guys I really liked in Brayden Schenn & Wayne Simmonds in the Mike Richards trade last summer.

One intriguing player is Ottawa 67s C/RW Tyler Toffoli. Regina Pats C Jordan Weal is on the small side, but he's an offensive dynamo.

Basically, I want Darcy and the Sabres to SELL, SELL, SELL!!!!!!!
