However I think that it's not good enough for Buffalo. And that Buffalo is really holding out to try to get that blue chip piece / former top 10 pick / top prospect piece (ie. Zegras, Kakko, Rossi) as part of a bigger package.
And my feeling is none of those teams have been willing to include a player of that ilk while also including other draft picks and roster pieces.

Agreed. I think people on this forum are overestimating the packages being offered to the Sabres, and Murray and co are not willing to part with elite blue-chip prospects. We know the Sabres are asking for the equivalent of 4 first round picks, and that nobody has met that price. So the bids probably look like:
Good (but not elite blue-chip) prospect.
Roster player with a 4-6 mil cap hit.
1st round pick (or equivalent)
Maybe a B-prospect or young roster player or equivalent pick

With blue-chippers taken out of the mix, the Flames likely have a competitive bid.
