Future Considerations

BUF

It is unlikely Buffalo will trading any of their picks for any of your players much less the 2023 first round pick which may be a lottery selection.

SJS

How can a team with Karlsson, Meier, Hertl, Couture, Labanc score so few goals and be so bad?

I love what Buffalo has done through their rebuild. They didnt go out and spend a ridiculous amount on Free Agents to build their team (for the most part), but they drafted extremely well and were smart sellers. The amount of NHL ready youth this team has is unbelievable, and there are so many players with superstar potential in the system. With guys like Cozens, Thompson, Quinn, Peterka, Kulich, Savoie, Ostlund, and Rosen headlining the forward group, this team will be an offensive powerhouse. Plus, they have Dahlin, Power, Samuelsson, and Jokiharju to form a fantastic top 4 and potentially the leagues best goaltending duo in Luukkonen and Levi. This team could easily run a dynasty and will be playing some great hockey for years to come. The future is so exciting in Buffalo that I will cheer for them despite them being in the same division as my Leafs.

San Jose is 17th in GF and 29th in GA. They score plenty, they just can’t stop the puck
