Description

I don't expect any of this to ever happen or to go through or any team to accept.

Would draft Power and Beniers at the top (I love Beniers).

Trades

BUF

Dach, Kirby
Keith, Duncan
Shaw, Andrew
Strome, Dylan
2021 1st round pick (CHI)
2022 2nd round pick (CHI)

Additional Details:

Dach is the centerpiece, Strome can play third line center or winger, take on Shaw's money (although I think he retired? not sure how the money works there) to offset the incoming salary of Eichel, and make it a three-way deal to send Keith to Edmonton.

CHI

Eichel, Jack

BUF

2022 3rd round pick (EDM)

EDM

Keith, Duncan

BUF

2021 1st round pick (SEA)
2022 3rd round pick (SEA)

Additional Details:

This hurts as Reinhart is my favorite player, but he wants to get closer to home (Vancouver) and Seattle can get a very good player to be the face of their franchise. Buffalo also sends the pick they got from Chicago in the Eichel deal to move up to the second overall pick. Seattle also takes Eakin in the expansion draft.

SEA

Eakin, Cody
Reinhart, Sam [RFA Rights]
2021 1st round pick (CHI)

BUF

Additional Details:

Crouse brings some physicality and size to the Sabres. Kuemper can be the starter in the short term or transition to backup when UPL is ready.

ARI

Ristolainen, Rasmus
Thompson, Tage
2021 3rd round pick (MTL)

BUF

2021 5th round pick (WPG)

Hawks aren't trading Dach, Keith isn't waiving to Buffalo anyways.

Dougie and Dahlin contracts are way too low with not nearly enough term

I heard the same rumor (I think from Lance Lysowski) and I wouldn't be mad at Eklund at all, but I just love Beniers game. His game has Toews written all over it, but they definitely need an influx of skill too.

There is still no universe where I want to give up Dach for Eichel, and that's not saying a thing about Jack. But man, looking at a one-two punch of Dach-Cozens down the C chart is kinda giving me the tingles in my pants...
