I think this is a good deal for both teams, particularly given their respective situations.

Winnipeg gets players who can walk into the locker room today and help the team out, as well as some insurance for the future: a 1st, Armia, Lemieux.

Buffalo gets worse immediately, but add two pieces which should help in the long run, both of whom are locked up until 2018 for Kane and 2020 for Bogosian. Having your top-four forwards being McEichel, Kane, Reinhart, and Ennis going forwards looks pretty attractive, and a back-end of Ristolainen, Zadorov, and Bogosian isn't too shabby either. Tyler Ennis is the oldest of that group at 25 years old.

I think this is a pretty good deal for both sides, but obviously there's risk for both teams.
