I am a realist.
Most of the pieces are Meh, but they are not garbage.
Drop the 2023 MTL first and add Guhle in addition Romanov.
So the trade becomes:
Drouin, Jonathan
Byron, Paul
Armia, Joel
Romanov, Alexander
Guhle, Kaiden
Poehling, Ryan
2022 1st round pick (MTL)
2022 2nd round pick (MTL)
Byron would probably find himself in Rochester.
Armia may find himself on the top line in Buffalo.
Drouin IMO may make Olofsson available for a trade, and Victor may return a 1st with retention and added assets.
Guhle or Romanov or both could be flipped for assets that suit the Sabre future.
Yes I can see HUGE value in this trade for Buffalo.
Do not take my word because as you can see, I am alone here.
