In the unlikely event Panarin would wave his no move (actually BUF is a very exciting team very close to become a true cup contender team) I hope that would work out something like this.

Yeah, I'm sure Panarin misses snow so much he waives his NMC to play in Buffalo. It's not like he wanted to play at MSG or anything.

Buffalo has a true top 6. Filling out the 3rd line, bottom D pair and goaltending is what's needed. Paying to add superstar forwards is not what's gonna get them over the hump.

Panarin won't waive and Buffalo shouldn't do something like this anyway.
