I think that compensation is steep but fair. Obvious what Calgary gets in the deal. Buffalo gets a legit 1C to fill in until Cozens emerges. With Valimaki they get a potential top pairing d-man who is already an NHL regular. Pelletier is looking like a legit NHLer at some point. The added first to sweeten the pot.
I think I would pull trigger based on being able to keep Gaudreau, Tkachuk, and Lindholm upfront.
Gaudreau - Eichel - Mangiapane
Tkachuk - Lindholm - Dube
The fact Hanifin + Rasmus have taken another step this year softens the blow on the backend, but certainly makes things thinner back there longer term.

This trade is doable IMO, but doesn't work for us cap wise. Valimaki doesnt earn enough.
Monahan+Bennett+Valimaki+1st would work.
