Or... Buffalo isn't going after the big fishes because they got told no, so they have to hold and wait to see who else shakes lose or gets passed over.
I mentioned Yakov Trenin before but he's very intriguing to me in a 4th line Center role. Hits, decent size 6'2" 201lbs, and would push Krebs a bit. You're not getting him for his scoring though.
I wouldn't have bought out Skinner until next summer. Lowers the cap penalty and you get another year for the young guys to develop. If Adams doesn't use the cap saving, this move was trash. You now need 30g and 30a replaced plus you need add to that total overall.
There's not a single player in house anywhere, that's Zach Benson. Unless you're trading for Draisaitl, not interested in using 19yr old Zach Benson as a trade chip. This team needs more of what Benson brings not less.
