I'm not a Buffalo Sabres fan, but I don't think they should do this trade. Their second line hasn't developed yet and it would be better for their future if they keep their 3 first rounders.

Nyquist isn't waiving for Buffalo, As of now they're barely even in the playoff race. I see Goose in either Pittsburgh, Boston or Nashville those teams are closer to cup contention then Buffalo.

Maybe?

Good player... but as of now,
we need center help more than a winger
And our GM has been very vocal about not trading 1sts unless it’s for a younger player

If we are looking for a winger,
I think I’d rather go after Stone as a UFA and not give up assets instead

I dunno how likely Sabres are to part with that pick. If STL continues to tank, it's not a bad shot at a very high pick

Can he play center?

Athanasiou would interest me much more as well.
