2023 1st round pick (BUF)

Additional Details:

Buffalos biggest draft need is RHD, and the only one i think is worth taking at 15 is Reinbacher, as guys like ASP, Gulyayev, and Simashev play LHD. Therefore, they trade 15th overall for recent 26th overall Ceulemans, who has been successful in college and is ready to start in the A. I think 15OA is certainly more valuable than Corson, so I added more from CBJ's side

Based on the hate Bryson gets from Sabre's fans (re: last game), I cannot imagine anything comes back for him.

Hard to imagine whether or not a trade like that is something we would have interest in this off-season. At this point in time it’s tough to see where exactly the team stands and what their plans are for the off-season. I’d assume a slight retool but when that conversation starts, what are the pieces being shipped out? Those answers will help towards knowing the direction the team is headed in.

And also if it’s not Hextall who’s running things who knows what the new GM’s plan is
