Keep in mind that a trade with Buffalo returning their 5th + 6th best prospects would likely be pretty equivalent to getting the #1/2/3 prospect from most other teams in a trade. Their prospect pool is that deep.

Well you're not wrong, but only Erik Karlsson whos on the last legs of his career @ 11M+ a season would be a "close" comp if you can even call it that.

Even with say Buffalo having 5-6 good prospects, its almost guaranteed that almost 90% of those wont turn into a Hanifin. So its easy and almost always the case where prospects are overvalued.
