It seems light. Its turcotte, a first in a bad draft, and a 2nd plus a recent 2nd.

Akil Thomas is real good. Getting those 2 + a 1st would be a good trade IMO

We would add Kale Clague or else a roster player like Austin Wagner. (By the way, Thomas is a better prospect than anyone in the Buffalo pool except Cozens and maybe Quinn.)

That's a fair offer from the Kings, since now the Sabres have cap to some UFAs. Don't love all the UFA signings....but that would be the way to go to make the Sabres respectable immediately.
Then you hope the young assets from the Kings become good NHLers.

Zero chance of Hamilton, Krejci, Palmieri and Andersen signing with Buffalo. All four sign with cup contenders.
