Great imagination.
It was more likely Tavares would sign with Buffalo than Stamkos.
Why would the Ducks make that trade? The Ducks had a 105 pts the season Casey was drafted.
Vesey opted for the Rangers so not likely he would be a Sabre.
Now the Sabres finished last over all in 2018, some how with Ennis, Nylander and Foligno the team will be better?

How did you end up with Stamkos? Murray was still around when he re-signed in Tampa??
You are correct there was no chance that he would sign with Buffalo.

Yes he lost out on Stamkos and then signed Okposo instead.
How did that work out?

??stamkos was not even close to sign in buffalo. He didn’t even hit the market. Jesus lord. You could swap eichel with mcdavid they was supposed to win the lottery that year.
McDavid for Eichel, Draisaitl for Reinhart, Sergachev for Nylander and maybe clone Gretzky?

There was a rumored trade of Stamkos (with 1 year left) and TB wanted the pick that became Eichel.
So we make that trade, Stamkos leaves after one year and Buffalo does not have Steve nor Jack.
Murray took over a last place team with the best prospect pool and extra draft picks and departed leaving a last place team with cap problems, no extra picks and one of the worse prospect pools in the NHL. What ever was his vision, it was obviously an acid induced dream because it turned into a real live night mare.
