You're not getting all of that to move up two spots that more than likely don't mean anything to the sabres.

Way to much for cbj to pay. Remove boqvist and sillinger and we consider.

Unless Buffalo is jumping Arizona for either a sliding Benson or Michkov, I doubt they'd pay that much for two spots.
Not saying it's an unfair valuation but their cupboards are pretty stocked that there's not much else to jump up for.
Based on most draft pick value charts that I have seen, this trade has Buffalo losing the deal by the equivalent of a 3rd round pick though.
To go from 13 to 11 should only cost a 3rd in value.

The Kings trade makes absolutely no sense.

Rathbone isn’t a player that Kings would have interested in. Also his value is pretty minimal.

Why would we need Raty who is a center? Byfield is a center and I would have Byfield over Raty anyday.

Demko is a good goalie but I’d rather keep Vilardi, Bjornfot and the draft pick and get a free agent goalie. If Demko is the goalie we want, the trade would look totally different. Definitely not giving up Byfield.

Kings trade is really bad.

I think you know this.
