Buffalo is in a tight spot. The teams that would be interested don't have cap space and don't want to give up high priced talent for a player that won't play most of the season. Add in the surgery risk and long term contract and there is a short list of teams that can or would make a deal.
The LTIR gives them some options, but there still aren't many good ones, and I expect that will be reflected in the price they get back.

Agreed. If Buffalo could have gotten Lafreniere, Byfield, Zegras, Drysdale, or a top 3-5 pick at last years draft, I would wager the deal would have been done by now.
