While ARI really needs picks after their penalty, that offer is quite poor for their best D-man.
BUF might consider taking that, but without retention.
Define poor. A young Dman that's top 10 in the D under 22 years old is poor? He might not be putting up huge numbers yet, but a lot of so called prospects that people would value higher than Mete have yet to prove their ability to play in the league.
Poehling has had a bad year, but is still a recent WCJ MVP and has 2C potential. Lots of analysts see his floor as a reliable two-way 3C.
Both fit with the age group of the new core. On top of that 16OA + 55/56OA are key for a team trying to get picks and get younger.

BUF trade is easy no, they need talent on ELC’s not mercurial players who aren’t as good as they think.
AZ trade is interesting but they aren’t going to trade OEL AND retain money.
It's been reported they don't to pick at 8th once again for the 10th year. 8th is on the table for an offensive 2C, which is what Domi is.

How would you explain those trades?
I think Mete and Poehling have little value. So I think the offer you made might get you Dvorak alone, but not both.
The Buffalo one is interesting, but if they can draft at 8, they have the possibility to have a guy around for 3 years at a minimal contract who can produce like a 5m player, so I'd rather keep Okposo, but the offer is kind of fair. I just would not make that deal if I were buffalo
Let's agree to disagree on Mete & Poehling's values.
