I would say Buffalo has to be kicking in something else to balance the bodies, so it would be interesting to see the whole deal. Won't believe anything until we see the actual deal, but if that is the offer, Buffalo should take it and run.

Involving Tkachuk just balances the roster in my eyes.
I'd actually hope that Valimaki isn't the former 1st - I think I'd sooner it be Pelletier. I still believe in Juuso...although maybe that's just my brain ignoring what's being played out in front of us and Kylington grabbing the role that was up for grabs and seemingly not looking back.
Pull the trigger on this deal, and then lock-up Johnny and Mang? I like it.
