Last i checked Matt savoie would be call up, which is a move, hence two moves. 1 + 1 = 2

Jokiharju is playing great, I see no reason to pay that much for something that maybe an upgrade, maybe not.

In reality, it’s one move, bc there’s no chance that horrible trade happens
We aren’t gonna give that up for a rental
And we aren’t signing another big $$ defenseman

No chance at all, imo

Yes, Jokiharju is playing good hockey. Hanilin is LHD, means Power would have to go to RHD to play with him. And there is a reason Dahlin switched, Power is playing with natural RHD. So, I am not sure if Hanifin - Power would be better pair than Power - Jokiharju.

^This

Plus, we are pretty unlikely to spend big on a Hanifin contract extension going forward after giving Dahlin & Power their HUGE deals

A Hanifin “rental” just doesn’t make sense for us
Especially not at what it supposedly would cost to get him

Yup, "lack of hockey knowledge" fits your comment perfectly.
While it is early in the season, ONLY Power has a better +/- and only Dahlin has more assists among the Sabre Defensemen than Henri.
He achieved those stats while having the lowest OZ% among Sabre defensemen and ONLY getting 0:06 PPTOI/GM
Hanifin on the other hand is a LHD, plays 2:52 PPTOI/GM and has one less pt than Jokihaju while Henri is +4 and Noah is -7.
Furthermore, Noah is two years older at double the salary.
Now go ahead and make your case that Buffalo should give up a first, a decent prospect (3 goals and 5 pts in 5 AHL games as a 20 yo) while weakening their Right side defense.
It would be difficult to make a case that Noah is an upgrade actually.
