3 trades sabers can should make

Nah we'll stay at 4

This is probably the only year where having a first overall pick doesn't have huge trade value difference compared to others because the prospects in the top5 or even top10 are so close to each other...and not exactly in a good way.

This'll very likely be one of those years when the top players just might be some second round picks.

Yeah I’d rather hang onto the picks as the jackets. Take our chances at 5 and 24.

On a theoretical level, none of these trades is good for Buffalo.

Buffalo's first = 4th overall plus 19th overall, not 4th overall plus 28th overall

Buffalo's first = 5th overall plus 14th overall, not 5th overall plus 24th overall

Buffalo's first = 6th overall plus 11th overall, not plus 6th overall plus 22nd overall

You'd have to add a good second to make it worth Buffalo's while.

1 OA really doesn't have that much value this year. There just isn't really that big of a jump nor a consensus top pick.
