Buffalo is at the point where they need to package prospects for proven NHLers, like they did with the McLeod trade. They have an abundance of prospects

Peterka, Quinn, Levi, and Benson are all due new contracts either this summer or in 2026, and they already committed huge money and term to Dahlin, Thompson, Cozens, and Power. Luukkonen also has quite a bit of term left at a not-small cap hit, so they gotta be careful. Of course they also have to decide on some veterans they already have.

Personally if I could find a way to get a decent return on Power's contract with no retention, I'd do it, and I'd do it before I move Byram. Just get out of that contract because I don't think he'll live up to it at all. Then again the organization appears to be souring on Jokiharju and Samuelsson.

Buffalo needs to quit the BPA thing and build a team. In no world does having 4LD like Dahlin, Power, Samuelsson and Byram make sense... makes even less sense with Johnson and Novikov in the minors and close as LD as well. Then their whole abundance of skilled players and not enough 2 way, higher IQ guys.

The player they need is Mikko Rantanen to play on Tage's wing.
