I wouldn't do that if I was Buffalo. Power is top pairing D-man, Cozens is a good top 6 center, Kulrich is a good prospect but I could see him being moved in a hockey trade and the 11th overall plus another 1st? This doesn't make Buffalo a contender. Don't get me wrong Leon is a top 10 player but they have bigger needs like getting a top RD

Drai is 3rd best C in the world behind Mack and Mcdavid... Anyone should pay any package for that for jersey sales alone over the next 8 years. We all know Pegula would hop on it.

"Instant Contenders" and you have Skinner on the top line lmao.

This is such a defensively bad lineup.

Take out Power and I think it's a good deal. It's only for one year of Drai and then they have to try and sign him to an ungodly type extension.

This is as far fetched as it gets
Sabres just have some impatient fans that are losing it
