I do think Power could be a good target for them but I think they need to have an answer to losing one of their top 2 centers. Maybe something around this:

To Vancouver: Power + Cozens
To Buffalo: Petterson + 1st round pick (top 10 protected)

Buffalo gets the best player in the trade but Vancouver is getting the potential in younger players that both play valuable positions. It’s kind of like the Hamilton for Lindholm + Hanifin trade. Not sure if the 1st round pick is too much to give up though in this case.

I don’t know if that’s a fair trade as is but definitely seems like the right idea.
