If CGY is trading Tanev & Hanifin,
then there’s pretty much zero chance they’d move Andersson as well

Also, your proposal is more a “video game” type trade than an NHL one with all those parts included

Highly unlikely imo
I’d love to get Andersson, but it just isn’t happening

I see the appeal for Anderson from the Sabres perspective but I don't see the need for Kuzmenko.

I also don't see how the Sabres keep all three of centres going-forward as one of the three will want more ice somewhere else and the Sabres will need to plug their holes.

If the Flames end up trading everyone than I can see a deal to he had for Ras, if they want a quick retool I can't see him getting dealt. He is too important to the team.

I don’t really see this being an issue. Cozens(5), Mitts(2), and Thompson(3) are all each in the top 5 of the Sabres forwards in ice time per game, and each have played at least some wing in the NHL. Mitts in particular can play anywhere in the top 6, so when the Sabres are fully healthy, he can stay at wing or be a 3C with great matchups and still get PP time. If the Sabres sign Mitts for ~7.1 mil a year, they still will have 19 million to resign/replace Krebs, Joki, Girgs, Okposo, UPL, and Erik Johnson. (Some of which might be replaced by prospects).

Ras was main piece I was looking to acquire, and the whole AGM was revolving around them apparently wanting to improve now therefore tried to get Kuzmenko in there too, I personally think BUF should be patient and stat the course they have an incredible pipeline
