TBH Coleman and Andersson would probably make that team a really strong team in the East and a tough out.

I follow the Sabres pretty closely, and you’re bang on the money with their needs. They’re imbalanced on D, and I expect Samuelsson would be going the other way in any major deal. Scoring is fine, but they need a guy like Coleman to do some of the dirty work in the top 6. The Sabres also have the cap space to add.
So Samuelsson + prospects + picks going out, RD and two-way winger in. Something like this probably works for both teams as a hockey trade:
Samuelsson
Helenius
2025 2nd
Andersson
Coleman
Only problem is it’s unlikely anyone will waive to go to the Sabres. That’s what Adams was alluding to when he talked about how Buffalo isn’t an attractive destinations. He’s probably worked on multiple trades that got nixed because of NTCs. Must be frustrating.
