Description

Pretty confident Walker is going to be moved no matter what happens next. If the Kings want to trade for Chychrun or Sergachev (my personal favs) either Iafallo or Peterson have to be moved. With no trade protections at 4x3 Iafallo could get a slight over pay from an undesirable team/market ie Buffalo his childhood team.
the 16th pick, Spence, and Vilardi would be the main value of the chychrun trade. Open to switching Grans, Durzi, JAD, or Turcotte in but Durzi and Turcotte would change the trade a lot.
Target LDs and get one of the top 4 G prospects in the draft.
This team would definitely make the playoffs over the next 5 years and contender fairly soon.
Edler might be a stretch*

Not very appealing for Sabres, I expect them to make their picks. At least at 9 and 16.

Buffalo obviously doesn't do that

the 16th might be a stretch but I think the FLA first for Iafallo and Lias would make sense. Iafallo would be a good all situations 2nd line winger for buffalo. Before he dislocated his shoulder he was on pace for a 25 goal 50 point season.

We have tons of young forwards. Doesn't make sense

Our gm has said we aren't going to acquire vets that would just be blocking our kids that are ready for the nhl. Essentially, that means that we have 3 kids that are getting top 9 spots- Quinn, peterka, and Krebs, all three play wing (Krebs also plays center, but if he is at center, then mittelstadt is on the wing). I don't love the value, but value aside, if the team is committed to their talented kids, and apparently they are, then there's no room.
