Description

These are the two trades I've seen/thought about that, in my opinion, are most realistic in terms of fit/needs. The only real knock I have on these deals is there is no elite prospect going back to Buffalo, but I still think there are a lot of high quality pieces. And besides, sometimes it's actually worse to have all your eggs in one basket and rely on one "elite" prospect as the main return (e.g. Stone for Brannstrom). Which return do you like best if you're Buffalo? Is either realistic in your opinion?

Trades

BUF

Boldy, Matthew
Dumba, Matt
Greenway, Jordan
Rask, Victor
2021 1st round pick (MIN)
2021 2nd round pick (MIN)

MIN

Eichel, Jack

Additional Details:

TRADE ONE. In this case, Buffalo could try to hang on to Dumba and see how he fits, but realistically I think they flip him at half retained to a contender missing a top 4 RHD. Boldy could be swapped out for Rossi depending how the teams see their value. Rask is a cap dump to make the money work and maximize the return.

BUF

2021 1st round pick (WPG)
2022 3rd round pick (CBJ)

WPG

Dumba, Matt ($3,000,000 retained)

Additional Details:

Just an example of what the extra flip might look like so you can imagine the full return of the trade. Doesn't have to be Winnipeg specifically, just any team looking for a RHD. I imagine Dumba at $3m for two seasons is worth at least a 1st rounder.

BUF

Krebs, Peyton
Roy, Nicolas
Smith, Reilly
Tuch, Alex
2021 1st round pick (VGK)
2021 2nd round pick (NJD)

VGK

TRADE TWO. (Eichel should be getting sent back but I can't add him because I already traded him to the Wild). Glass could be swapped for Krebs, again depending how the two teams see their value. Smith could also be swapped for Fleury. Either way, Buffalo flips Smith/Fleury (whichever they get) at half retained for more picks/prospects.

BUF

2022 2nd round pick (EDM)

EDM

Smith, Reilly ($2,500,000 retained)

Additional Details:

Again, just an example of them flipping the extra player so you can imagine what the full return might look like.
