As for the trade, who knows. I wouldn’t do the trade if I were BUF, but I think they might have. Most here thought it should be Cozens + Reinhardt/1st - which I think is insane.
BUF ended up acquiring Simmonds (inexplicably) and tried to make some big moves in the off season. Maybe we add Monny or Bennett or Rittich or an LD and they add other pieces. Each team had what the other lacked, so something was probably possible.

okay. But I think a lot of people were 'right' about changes were needed. Fact is the pandemic, flat cap and expansion draft have made trades even more difficult than perhaps ever. I am confident in saying Treliving would have liked to have done more.
I agree with your assessment on some of the trade suggestions people were throwing out last summer. Rienhard + Cozens + 1st was a gross overvaluation of JG and his contract status. At face value, ignoring where Buffalo and Calgary are at the moment and respective contracts, I would take Rienhard for JG straight up right now.
