Florida doesn't need another top pairing defenseman (all this does is mean Weegar's minutes get cut) and they won't be finding a better goalie than Spencer Knight at his price point for the next few years, and they'd be betting on Bob not turning into a pumpkin next year (I wouldn't bet on that! Don't bet on expensive goalies!). Florida would also need to be sending cap back to Buffalo. And they're winning, so why would they take somebody off this roster right now.
This is bad for Buffalo too, because Dahlin's value isn't high at the moment, because he hasn't been scoring. His contract is also the same as Tkachuk's, in that it pretty much allows him to QO his last year and walk to free agency. Buffalo needs to just hold on and hope he develops under Granato
