Interesting trade.
Buffalo gets two number 2 centers.
Skinner Suzuki Reinhart
Olofsson Domi Caufield.
Kahun Cozens Middestadt
Rustalainen Lazar Okposo
Skinner and Okposo are the gray beards, Buffalo would need to add some experience.
IMO, MTL would need to replace next years first with this years first as well as this years second.
Buffalo gets a team with 3 balanced lines but no #1 line.
I seem to remember the last time MTL won the cup they had 3 solid lines, but no #1 line.
The fans would rail over this trade, but Buffalo would have 4 picks among the top 38.
Adding Caufield gave them 3 picks among the top 31 picks last year.
I would like to have a balanced line up and hope Cozens would be the best of Domi, him and Susiki.
