Maybe 16th for Lehner and 37th?
Or 16th for Lehner and 58th and 68th?
Lehner is probably my favourite goaltender. He's solid, driven, outspoken and sounds like a leader in the room. I know he's clashed with some teammates and coaches before, so that is a bit of a red flag, but considering the absolute disaster Buffalo was for a few years, it's not surprising. They also have Nilsson who is solid, so I don't think you'd have to pay a premium to get him.

Good numbers on a bad team. If Lehner is somehow available (which I doubt but I definitely see the possibility) I'd love to acquire him.

I think you'd probably look at pieces that are closer than the 16th OA though. Gillies+ is probably a starting point, or a similarly close prospect on D.
