Description

Trade for Eichel, Goligoski makes salary work, but could add someone like Zuccarello instead and then a lesser pick. Or if both reject, you could centre around Fiala and Rask, and remove Boldy and lessen pick. Then based on the initial package, Buffalo gets future goalie, Rask who could get flipped for picks, Boldy to add to young potential stars, and a 1st.

Minny has Wallstedt coming up so only need to temporarily find some back ups til he's ready... therefore sign back Dubnyk.

Sign Staal to a cost friendly deal as he did well in Minny and likes it there, and would be a decent 4th line centre.

Could look for a way to improve their 4th D-man, but with Lambos and Addison coming up, they could be ready quickly.

Minnesota doesn't have the cap space to sustain this roster beyond one season
Staal may have liked it here, but he's washed up and Guerin got rid of him for a reason, he's not going to bring him back

Boldy, a 1st in 2024, and a goalie they dont need? Pretty easy no from the Sabres IMO

Your logic on Wallstedt is flawed, he's likely 5-6 years away from making the NHL

Even if the package was enough, there's no way Buffalo accepts a 2024 1st round pick.

Based on what? Vasilevski made the NHL two seasons after being drafted, Knight didn't even take two full years. Hart made it his third year post draft. Oettinger was there after three years. Blackwood took three years.

By what standard is Wallstedt 5-6 years away from playing in the NHL at minimum?

I changed my comment before you answered to "likely 5-6 years" and that is based on the average growth of goalies.
