1st off Sagecoil, he has no say in where he is traded. His NMC kicks in after next year. He is signed for several years si he goes where he is traded, if he is traded. Also have not heard where he wants to go, I think he just wants out of Buffalo.
2nd, that neck injury is a problem. Until it is resolved, I believe Buffalo will not get what it thinks or want steams will be Leary both in what it will cost and that 10 million a dollar contract that he carries.
There are very few teams that have both the cap and the prospects:
LA Kings. Best chance, but will they take the chance
NY Rangers. Have cap and prospects, owner wants to win, but interstate and interdivision trade will cost more
New Jersey have cap but not the prospects that the two have
Detroit, has cap but not prospects. Also doubt Yzerman even makes an offer and sticks with the plan
