Description
Assuming veterans are gone. Starting a rebuild.

Keep in mind, I realize first line is likely a disaster. Flip line 2 and 3 if you want, they're interchangeable. Plenty of $ left over to sign some players if some of the kids aren't ready, fix my bad contracts #'s, or to take bad contracts.

Assume all reserve list guys are signed.

Trades
1.
BUF
  1. Chytil, Filip [RFA Rights]
  2. Georgiev, Alexandar
  3. Lundkvist, Nils [Reserve List]
  4. Strome, Ryan
Additional Details:
Goal: trade not including Lafreniere, Fox, or Kakko to make NYR fans happy.

Only one of Buchnevich or Strome. Either guy so pick your favorite. Sabres might only get one year out of either and sell at the deadline anyway. NY pretty much know they have to trade some of their young prospects so move 2 here. Buffalo desperately needs a goalie.

Maybe add 1st if you think light for Eichel.
NYR
  1. Eichel, Jack

BUF
  1. Compher, J.T.
  2. Kaut, Martin
  3. 2022 1st round pick (COL)
COL
  1. Reinhart, Sam [RFA Rights]
Additional Details:
Value might be reduced as Reinhart could walk for nothing in a year (or more rightly be moved at the TDL) so treating this as a move to a contender. Replaces Saad and gets rid of additional cap in Compher (is he a dump at this point?) Admittedly, could be outbid if someone gets and extension in place.
3.
BUF
  1. 2022 2nd round pick (WPG)

Buffalo wouldn’t do it, but I honestly like it. Definitely Would need to add a 1st and a 2nd though.

One of Laf or Kaako should definitely be in the trade. The Sabres wouldn't trade their #1 center without a quality piece coming back.

The trade should be: Kaako, Strome, Schenider, Georgeiv, 2021 first

Yeah but wanted to try without in a foolish attempt to placant NYR fans. Schneider instead of Lundkvist? Or just making that swap to bring value down a bit?
