<a href="/users/bogdown" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@bogdown</a> Here is the deal.
Dominick Hasek was traded for a first and Kozlov.
Robin Lehner was traded for a late first round pick.
Marin Jones was traded for Sean Kuraly and a first.
Marc-Andre Fleury was traded for a conditional 2nd

Let's presume, Demko is not struggling this season but look at what Buffalo is surrendering in this trade.
Kulich is 18 yo and is only one pt away from being the Rochester Amerks top scorer in the AHL.
Levi has been lights out his entire GK career stopping about 19 of every 20 he faces:
2021 WJC-20.........................................7gms 0.75 GAA 0.964 SV%
2019-20 Carleton Place Canadians 37gms 1.47 GAA 0.941 SV%
2021-22 Northeastern University 32gms 1.54 GAA 0.952 SV%
2022-23 Northeastern University 16gms 2.23 GAA 0.930 SV%
We are not talking about "prospects", these are two of Buffalo's best who appear to be "SURE NHL PLAYERS".

Buffalo would pass.
