Great to see all of the NHL teams pass on Kulich as he was predicted to go in mid first round by many pre-draft sites.
Many pre-draft sites had Luneau as late first round pick and Buffalo needed RHD far more than they needed a fourth GK prospect.
Greenway? Asplund?
Over the 107 games before the trade Jordan ($3,000,000 to 2024-25 UFA) had 12 goals and 34 pts, Rasmus ($825,000 to 2022-23 RFA) had 10 goals 35 pts.
Nothing more needs to be said!

EDIT
Getting Stillman for Bloom and a third for Portillo were very good pick ups.
They should have stopped there.

Going to assume this fall under "revisionist history" because there's no way we take that deal.

Please read the title again, and the comments under the trades.
Of course you would not make the trade and the Sabres should not have made the 2 trades at the TDL.
