Our defence right now is very weak and taking those two guys away makes it the worst in the league

I just don’t see that happening personally. Not that it’d be crazy for him to be a part of the deal. It’s more so that the Sabres are looking for futures and the Flames are in win now mode.
So any deal that would be struck between the 2 sides would have to strike a fine balance. The Flames for instance, can’t just lose Rasmus and still feel like they’ll still have a chance to win this season. So there won’t be a deal to be had there.
But losing a couple forwards and eventually getting an elite one back in the line up, well that would be ok especially if this team can float by with their top line going ham most nights.
Similarly, Buffalo is in win later territory, do they really need Rasmus Andersson right now? Nope. But maybe they pick up a much cheaper Dube right now and maybe he’ll be great by the time they’re ready to win.
