Jones Buffalo does not need another LW.
Skinner, Olofsson, Bjork, Asplund, Girgensons and Ruotsalainen will be trying to fill the 4 LW spots.
Jones does not fill a need.
Manson, would fill a nice hole the Sabres have at RHD now that Ristolainen has been traded away.
He would certainly be Buffalo's #1 RHD next year.
He is 29 years old and has one year remaining on his contract, do you honestly think he will sign with Buffalo.
If you want, please trade him, then send those assets to Buffalo.
Do you think, you will get as much as Ristolainen returned?
So let's agree that he will add a first, second and young player.
Guhle, Buffalo has Dahlin, Power, Hagg, Butcher, Bryson, Samuelsson, Johnson I do not see a need for Guhle.
Remember, Buffalo traded him away, I really do not think he will be welcome.
So none of the three players are a perfect fit.
Let's include Manson and presume he has the value of a 1st, 2nd and young player
Add Mason McTavish from last year's draft instead of Jones and Guhle.
Include this year and next year first round pick.
Buffalo would then need to either sign or trade Manson as he will be 34 yo before the Sabres are competitive again.
So the only change I am making is including last years draft pick and dropping two players Buffalo does not need nor want.
