Dad has to actually waive is the major issue here. Korczak should be enough by himself to dump Dad IMO

I'm guessing the 2nd is for taking Broissoit who hasn't exactly looked good.
Plus Buffalo could talk Dad into stopping in Buffalo as a "connecting flight" to another team potentially with retention.

It would have to be with retention otherwise Buffalo wouldnt be the team getting Korczak

We get our 3rd back and your 1st instead of 2nd in 2023. You need to take back contracts
big issue…buffalo doesn’t have the contract space to take this and sign Power after ncaa.

But why would Dadonov want to leave Vegas? Seems like an ideal spot, especially with Eichel coming

Vegas will effectively force him out the door due to his contract. How I’m approaching his departure to Buffalo is more of a 3way trade than anything else
Value isn't there imo, at least not for Buffalo.
Those Vegas contracts are back loaded.
Buffalo would be taking on over 15 million in real dollars. Pegula wouldn't approve this deal, even if Adams thought that Korczak and that really late 2nd was good value.
Add in that Dadanov is signed for two more seasons after this one, and will be 33 in a couple of weeks, and while his stats are alright, he isn't exactly lighting up the league and has been playing with Stone and Stephenson a lot lately.
Flipping him will be a hard sell, unless they go max retention, which would be over 6 million in actual cash.
I think Vegas needs to find a partner with deeper pockets for this one to work.

The 2nd is there for the upgrade in net. Also, Dadanov and Broissoit contracts are for two years each so I felt I might've even been conservative on the return.
I agree that getting Dadanov to waive for Buffalo might be unlikely. But the Sabres could retain or eat a cap dump from a team he does waive to. Retaining for two seasons wouldn't be ideal though.
Dadanov in this deal could be replaced by Smith, with the Sabres retaining and moving Smith to a playoff contender that wants him. The Sabres could take back a cap dump from the team acquiring Smith, so that team can fit him under their cap.

Still a risky play if a deal falls through. He’s on a powerhouse team, if he ends up stuck in Buffalo for a year and a half,
yuck

The deal would be agreed to before the trade with Vegas occurs.
