As we sit here 17 days away from the trade deadline, the Buffalo Sabres once again are in need a lot of work.

There’s obvious question marks surrounding this hockey team, so what should be the plan to fix the Sabres?

I’m not a GM, but that’s doesn’t mean I can’t have fun and try to come up with my own list.

1. Trade Evander Kane
2. Trade other UFAs for assets
3. Buyout Zach Bogosian?
4. What should they do with Matt Moulson?
5. Josh Gorges and his $3.9 cap hit clears
6. Cut goaltender cap hit atleast half ($6.5 for this season)
7. Guhle up full time ($697,500 cap hit til 2020)
8. Will Casey Mittelstadt be ready at 19?
9. Top 3 pick
10. Resign Sam Reinhart
11. Try and make a hockey trade
12. Sign better bottom six players
