IMO that’s the only sensible and maybe even realistic deal worth discussing in here (Dahlin/Pettersson). Change of scenery for both guys. Think it actually could benefit both teams.
Maybe whoever Vancouver finally puts in place to replace Benning should be given the opportunity to fix the roster enough so that EP isn't having the struggles he's having.

Would love to get Petterson. That'd be a high cost. Wish Vancouver was in the Eichel or Reinhart trade discussions when they were available.

I think a lot of these Pettersson takes are going to look very bad a year from now. He's clearly struggling, but he's too good for it to continue.

They might say yes if we change Cozens to Krebs, and in a roundabout way do the Eichel for Pettersson trade

No one seriously questions Pettersson's ability and value.
But Buffalo seems to be on a good path now, finally.
With a crippled roster they have managed to stay afloat due to young players developing, veterans overachieving and as a team playing organized hockey. And there's plenty of reinforcements on the way. That is a good sign.
Also, given how the last attempt to speed up a rebuild went, the Sabres should be quite cautious in that regard.
On the Vancouver side of things I see very little reason why they should give up on their young franchise center unless there's some serious reason to do so, e. g. a trade request on his part or something like that.

Troy terry could end up a top 10 forward but i don't think elias is worse just that value wise atm cozens is on an upward trajectory while elias is downward. Cozens might not be dynamic/flashy like pettersson but us a play driver in his own right and looks to have the makings of a 1c in the future

Why so serious?
A deal around eichel would’ve made more sense, potentially… Canucks are already out of it so having to wait another 4 months would’ve been do able.

Not willing to give up our bluest of blue prospects, at most 7th rounders that maybe conditional 6s

After an eternity of seeing this about Eichel from the fanbase, it is almost surreal to have the same narrative ensue concerning the Sabre.
