To the Buffalo Sabres

Eric Cernak (back from injury in 2 games)
Denis Gurianov
Jack Lafontaine

To the Los Angeles Kings

David Perron
Sami Vatanen
Peyton Krebs

No pressure, kid. LA gives up a couple of young players for two UFAs and a cost controlled player for next season. Cernak is a monster, so I didn't have to do a lot of arm twisting to get this done. Gurianov is still only 23. Lafontaine fills a need on the Sabres.

Vatanen and Perron are pretty parallel moves for this year, but have little to no value for me next year. That puts all of the eggs in the Krebs basket. I'm counting on him to re-rate as a playable asset next year, and leave some cap space to pick up the high end winger that this team has always lacked.

Also banking on Kylington replacing Cernak on the blueline next year, and that looks like a good bet so far. Krebs and Grundstrom have been my only two futures moves over the whole season, so like I said, no pressure kid.
