Erik Brannstrom has played broken up seasons between the AHL and NHL over the past 3 seasons since the Stone trade playing just 63 nhl games and finding himself starting in the AHL this year. Kylington type player with a higher draft position.
A 2nd rounder who turned out to be Egor Sokolov who’s yet to suit up for his first NHL game but has put up decent numbers in the AHL during his rookie season and appears to be off to a solid start this year.
Hardly a kings ransom for Mark Stone because Ottawa was between a rock and a hard place and teams realized this. It will be no different with Tkachuk if Treliving follows the same trajectory with the contract as the Sens did with Stone.

See Duchene (trade 1 and 2), Karlsson, O’Reilly… etc. One trade not working out doesn’t mean high caliber players aren’t traded for great returns with soon to expire contracts.
Also why are we pretending Buffalo isn’t between a rock and a hard place?
