AZ has no desire to trade roster players for any of those pieces except sillinger. and AZ is not trading guenther that is a non starter.

I truly don't understand how trading all the younger players for draft picks and older players somehow fixes this team.

None of these trades benefit Columbus.

Laine makes far too much money to be what he is - an inconsistent one dimensional player. Maybe you can say similar things about Zegras but at least he's young enough to think he can round out the warts on his game. And he's not doing it on a jacked contract.

Merzlikins for Gibson is just a straight up joke. Elvis won't admit he's a backup goal tender and Columbus made the mistake of paying him like a very good starter. None of that will ever be Anaheim's problem to deal with.

Anaheim wouldn't trade Trevor Zegras OR John Gibson for that poison package, let alone both.

Anaheim doesn’t want Elvis

Maybe we will give you a 3rd for Laine, with retention

Chinakov has nice numbers, but we have a lot of skill players in the pipeline, and I think Greenway's size is something Buff wouldn't trade.

Buffalo has lots of young scoring wingers with more on the way. What they are lacking is forwards who can play well defensively, and a physical presence (not really Greenways thing, but hes still more physical than most other Sabres forwards). Sabres keep Greenway.
