He'd be a UFA at 25 and then get a huge contract just in time for the end of the flat cap era.

So...not a particularly attractive trade asset for a team that is definitely more than 2 years away from competing...
I suspect BUF would prefer:
1. Young established star with term
(your search did not match any available assets)
2. High upside players/prospects
(Morgan Frost, Valimaki, Byfield, Kakko as a few random examples)
3. Draft picks
4. Limited term players...except maybe for salary cap reasons and to flip at the TDL
