We are staring at the worst D in the league with no cap to do anything about it (after acquiring Eichel)

I see it as:
Free Agent - Tanev
Hanifin - Andersson
With the third pairing being two of Valimaki, Kylington, Mackey, and Stone.
I think Valimaki will be a good player, but if the Sabres want him as a piece I do that easily.
Probably an unpopular opinion, but I am higher on Mackey than most are and think he could handle third pairing minutes. If he struggles than we still have Kylington as another option
I’m not sure if Treliving is willing to include Valimaki in the package though, he loves him
