After the All Star game, for all intensive purposes, Brian Campbell is done with his career here in Buffalo. It is not that he is not good enough to be here, not that he is not liked here, but the Sabres are not going to make the playoffs and its time to find some new blood.

The Sabres need to make this move for the reason that if they let him leave in free agency for nothing then they will have lost a third superstar caliber player in the last two years for nothing. This year is different than last year. This year is not going well, they probably won't make the playoffs and they need to find some new players or young talent that will help this team rebuild

Yep, I said it rebuild. After Drury and Briere left did anyone stop to think just how young this team is? They are one of the youngest teams in the NHL without those two. They have also been playing all year with out the stabilizing effect of Teppo on the blue line.

So, after they get their exposure in the All Star game, get the offers, evaluate what is the best one, and unload Campbell, package him with Max if you have to, but make the move instead of preaching patience this and patience that. Just make the move and get on with the process of building the team back up.
