All three of those trades heavily favor the Sabres, but the worst is that Raanta trade.
Raanta is a fine rental for anyone looking at an injury or wanting an upgrade/depth as the playoffs approach. Hutton is a severly overpaid, subpar backup and Pilut signed a multi-season deal in the KHL so who knows if he every comes back to North America. So for Raanta Arizona gets a 3rd round pick, a KHL player, and has to take back salary for a player that only improves your chance of winning the draft lottery.
