Only commenting on the Buffalo trade.
If Ristolainen could bring back a first, second and an NHL LHD, I would think Morgan Reilly would bring back at least as much.
IMO if he is traded to Buffalo other NHL GM's would know that Karmanos needs to flip him before the season is out and may not receive value.
IMO, Dubas would need to trade him then send the assets to Buffalo.
Mikheyev would fit right into the Buffalo line up, but he would be gone at the end of the season.
Amirov IMO is the best part of the deal. He is a first round pick from 2020 with a decent upside.
First round picks are nice but, these would be very late.
The total value going to Buffalo exceeds most offers that I have seen, unfortunately nearly half of it would be gone at seasons end unless they could be traded before the TDL.
Adding up all of the assets, it would be very difficult for me, if I were the Sabre's GM, to turn down.
I would need to find a team that would give me a good return for Reilly and sign Mikheyev to an extension before the trade took place.
