If we trade:

Coronato
Mangiapane
1st

We are left with

Gaudreau-Eichel-Coleman
Tkachuk-Lindholm-Dube
Lucic-Backlund-Pitlick
Pelletier-Zary-Lewis
Ritchie

Hanifin-Tanev
Zadorov-Andersson
Valimaki-Kylington
Welenski

If we have to include an extra piece, Dube or Kylington you’d think would be enough.

We’d still have Zary and Pelletier on the way, and we only trade one future 1st.

Overpaying doesn’t submarine the roster. It limits what we else we can add for the next 12 months, but that’s about it. And remember that lots of useful rental players go for late round picks every year, so we’re not completely screwed on that front.

Give the Sabres a reason to deal him here, and give us a reason to care about this team beyond “they play here”.
