Sabres clear $7.5M in cap space in O'Reilly, get a roster ready top D, a top prospect and a pick. And Freddie.
Flames get their 1LRW who they can now negotiate with on an extension, put O'Reilly there if they prefer and play Kane on the 3L whatever. They also clear $5.75M to do that and add a 4th round pick they might be able to package
Still money to re-sign Backlund, Kane and fit O'Reilly in under the cap
Jankowski would need to be bridged

I feel the Flames give up too much in the deal. A top prospect and a top pair right shot D signed to a great deal and the higher pick for a rental and an overpaid second line C. If the Sabres retained $1.5-$2M on RoR then I like it more. Having said that losing Dougie and Fox really takes a bite out of the right side.
