3 team deal

We are giving up Bokk + Suzuki + Nikishin + 2nd + 3rd?

Did his injuries disappear?

I’d rather just take on his full cap hit than give up all of that

I figure there are 4-5 better prospects around the same age in the Canes system on offense and Nikishin was just a throw in that could be removed. Having Buffalo retain half means no other forwards have to be moved to make the cap work

That’s way too much to give up for an unproven Tara at this point. A lot of risk in whether he’ll be healthy and effective after his shoulder injury and surgeries. Also, no forwards need to be moved out and retention really isn’t necessary to make a deal work.

Keep Sanford throw in a 2nd - Buffalo is going younger-infant even
