Something like that could be possible

Really tough to say what players/prospects are gonna be sticking around, and who could be moved with all the crazy changes we are making
Mittelstadt’s slow-ish development so far does seem to make him a candidate though
And you are sending us a Goalie, which we need
We wouldn’t want Smith, but I’m assuming you’re making us take him

I think the framework is at least in the ballpark

The Sabres really dont have room to take on cap dumps

Rangers decline. Trade doesn’t make much sense.

Now this is something I can get by

No for Buffalo

Which parts so i can explain my reasoning

Maybe but you guys have like 5 people on a contract

I have the picks to make up for taking smith and I personally think georgiev is worth a late first so pushing back a few picks as well

Lias = Casey
And
Georgie = a late 1st

Once you take that into account proper evaluations the trade doesn’t make sense.

Yeah, exactly they have like 6 RFAs to sign. 2 big contracts. Theyll have like 4 mill to improve themselves

So a late first is what 27 ish dropping 8 more spots aka the 2nd adding a 3rd and 5th to get rid of smith seems decently reasonable

I concede u r correct in your assessment I was just trying to see the feedback

Buffalo pick is 38. To move from 38-> 27 costs pick 33. Your valuation is standard deviations off.

And no Smith does not cost a 3rd and 5th to get rid of. Maybe a 5th. You're equating Smith with Staal which is wrong.

He might be... but idk that u could get that for him...
What team that does well in the playoffs is gonna be looking for a starting goalie?
So the best u can likely get for him as fast as a draft pick goes would be an early 2nd
