Sabres definitely aren't making that trade. No reason to trade a 30 goal scorer while retaining 3 mil on his contract and Casey, who has been decent when healthy, for a couple of middle 6 forwards and another LHD when the sabres don't have cap problems.

Understandable. Just came to my mind like the Calgary one. Still a few I got to do

Don't see this as being a trade Buffalo would or even should consider.

Mittelstadt struggled with a wrist injury that required surgery last season, missed substantial time and then struggled for a bit when coming back. His value is about as low as it's ever been, and they really need him healthy to see if he puts it together or not this season before making a decision on him.

Skinner has a full NMC and essentially wants to be in Buffalo or Toronto because they are close to home and were the only teams he would reportedly waive for when the Canes traded him. Also retaining for 5 years is a no go. If they were unwilling to retain for a better return on Eichel, they aren't likely to do it for Skinner.

I don’t think we will ever see a team retain 3M for 5 years. Ever
