Sabres are getting a playoff-proven goaltender who isn't injured nearly as much as Lehner is. While goaltending isn't a huge need for them at the moment, I'm not completely sold on Lehner being the number one goalie as of right now.

Pittsburgh would want another defenseman in a package for Fleury. They are also getting a solid backup for Matt Murray until Jarry is ready to come up from the AHL. A first round pick also helps add quality prospects to a relatively weak prospect pool.

After trading Franson, another quality right-shot defenseman would be a very good thing for them to get if they want to show the NHL that they are for real.

Arizona wants to get young players that can impact their team as soon as next season, not more prospects that will take time to develop.

Fowler is a great option to play next to Ristolainen, and Silfverberg can add another dimension to the Sabres' offense. The move benefits both sides, and would ensure that both reach the playoffs.

Anaheim needs some secondary scoring, and Evander Kane is a great guy to get the job done. They also take Gorges to ensure that they aren't leaving high quality forwards available in expansion.

Even though the Sabres would be trading away their captain, it makes a lot of sense for them. It is clear that this team belongs to Eichel, O'Reilly, and Ristolainen, and Gionta is essentially the guy wearing the C because he was wearing it before everyone else got there. Also helps with their salary cap situation for the remainder of this season.

Islanders get a winger with pretty good hands to play on the third line. They need as much wing help as they can get, so a trade like this makes sense for them.
