If you want to go the prospect route, I'd start at teams, If there are any that have a log jam at center, with some excellent center prospects knocking on the door but no room for them on the roster and build a Raz deal around that. If, of course the other team has a clear Top 4 Dman need to push them into either contender status or a playoff position.

Anyone out there that kind of fits that description?

Otherwise you're looking at a draft pick package or a package similar to the Lindholm deal.

Teams just don't give up home grown high ceiling centres for even a player like Raz.

Sabres have Thomson and Cozens as top 6 C, with Ryan McLeod and Krebs as their bottom 6. All 4 are young and should be long-term building blocks for the team.

They also have Helenius, Ostlund (and potentially Kulich who most project as a winger).

If we could pry Helenius or Ostlund from the Sabres, I think it would be a major injection to our prospect pool as both have the potential to be top 6.
