Toews is the more complete dman imo than Pesce but those are definitely packages the teams would consider.

It’s probably a good thing the team doesn’t have to win the Stanley Cup next season. They might not win it anyway, but this series of trades could lead to another decade of missing the playoffs in the not too distant future.

Feels like Buffalo is on the right track to being a serious problem for teams in the East, maybe some consistency in net and a few small adds is all that is really needed 🤔
