Petey offseason deal

If he wants to go to Buffalo I'd think this gets a long thought process and probably only thing I could see be asked is a conditional pick in 25. (Ie. If Buffalo makes the Cup Final upgraded the pick or get an additional lower round pick) Me personally I'd like to get Wallberg added to the trade but not sure losing both Cozens and Wallberg would be too much.

Add Casey Mittlestadt and drop the 2nd rounder.

Dubois trade didn't involve a top 10 pick though.

Need to be picking in top 5 to be somewhat of a guaranteed pick in the 2024 draft. I would rather have Mittlestadt, Cozens & Samuelsson than the pick.

I think I'd rather the top 10 pick and use that to flip and go get a player that you want. I don't mind Mittelstadt but he will need an extension and I'm not convinced he is worth what he could ask for.

I made another post from the Canucks side where they use that 1st and 2nd to go after a guy like Necas who I would much prefer to mittelstadt personally.
