It's been quite the week for the Sabres. Under normal circumstances, the trade deadline would have offered more than enough fodder for an episode, but then the Sabres and Lightning put on the most exciting game of the season. We talk through the aftermath of Sunday's barnburner, dig in on Buffalo's deadline acquisitions and look at the road ahead. We also talk about Lindy Ruff's bonafides as a coach of the year candidate and whether or not he can overtake John Cooper to win the Jack Adams Trophy.

The Sabres didn't land any big fish at this year's deadline but they brought in depth at forward and the blue line. Logan Stanley and Sam Carrick will likely be the most heavily deployed acquisitions while Tanner Pearson and Luke Schenn offer addition depth. This quick episode runs down Buffalo's additions at the deadline, the prices they paid and what we can expect from the quartet of new faces who will don blue and gold this spring.
