Probably because I'm neither Wild nor Sabers fan) I just thought that Buffalo has two really good centres signed long term, so they could listen to offers, on the other hand the Wild need a good centre for Kaprizov line and they have assets.

I'd rather keep Casey but this a reasonable trade -Congrats you are one in a hundred

Sabres fan here
I agree that this is a good offer
Mitts has been our best forward this year,
and his defensive game has really come around
So I’m 99% certain we try to get a long term deal done with him- probably something similar to what Tage & Cozens got
Mitts is earning himself a spot in our long term core
But again, u make an offer we’d be forced to think hard about
Rossi is a good young player, & the picks on top are nice
Sabres would be very tempted imo
Especially if they have trouble working out a contract w Mitts
Minnesota fans probably won’t like this though
My guess would be that Rossi has shown them enough that they’d just wanna keep him

Interesting offer

Finally someone with a reasonable offer for Mitts.
Mitts is a very well-liked player in the locker room and by the organization, so it would take a lot for BUF to pull the trigger on a trade.
And yes, he has shown over the past 2 years that he can excel as a 1C. He would be a great fit next to Kaprizov and he is a Minny boy, so this could make sense.
The only thing is BUF is looking for a D-man more than a F.
BUF may have more suitable offers on the table, or just keep him as he is arguably their best F.
Some random thoughts.
I thought Buffalo would draft Rossi over Quinn, this gives them both.
While the Sabres need a RHD, A rebuilding team may prefer a younger/cheaper Rossi and the picks over Casey.
As mentioned above Casey is from Minnesota.
Finally, Joel and Casey would be great top centers for the next 8 years.
A good offer for Casey, if the Sabres lose today, they WILL be sellers.
If they win, and Luukkonen continues his hot streak, who knows.
Maybe he becomes Buffalo's Binnington.
