Kane currently also has 20 goals and Sabres want a 1st + more for him, and Ryan freakin Reeves was traded for a 1st round pick lol, so Ferland can definitely be traded for a second)
Frolik for a 3rd + decent prospect
Stone for a 3rd round Pick
Versteeg for a 4th Round Pick
Stajan for a 6th Round Pick
Brouwer for a 6th or 7th Round Pick (We retain $1 million in salary for the next 2 years)
Fair or no?
Then we go hard after Tavares in the off season, and PERHAPS Kane if the price and term are right (around $6 mill x 5 years). As well and trying to trade for Stone using some of these replenished picks + picks we currently have + prospects

Added Stone in there as I originally forgot. But honestly guys, we're a mediocre team, this line-up is NOT good enough to "make noise" in the playoffs. We literally will lose in 4-5 games. We're incredibly inconsistent. I think we need to stop being so biased and understand and accept that lol. If we can get more for those players, then by all means, get more (such as for Ferland and Frolik, even though Frolik has not been good this season). Plus we're paying Frolik $4.3 mill, that can be used towards Kane or Stone for next season, both of which can make our team better.
This line-up needs a shake-up heading into next season, with the players stated above going (not our core players). We can completely revamp our bottom 6 which is currently and OBVIOUSLY not good enough through Free Agency and bringing up some prospects, and add to our top 6 on the right side. Bring up one or two of our d-prospects next season and we'll have a MUCH better team. Plus if we SOMEHOW manage to get Tavares, then ohhhh man lol.
