What Bergevin should have done 2021-Sep-04

LOL, Sabre fans would not like this trade so much today.
While Drouin is doing well, Tuch is a RW and wants to play in Buffalo and is signed for five years.
IDK who will be better Krebs or Caufield.

You fail to understand a very basic concept (much like almost everyone else here). BUF says no to this trade, fast.

why would buffalo want an AHL player?

Why do you think this?
Most Sabre fans were insisting that either Caufield or Suzuki be part of the deal.
It is not much different than the Vegas trade.
Do you think Buffalo says no so they do not have to play against MTL? Or do you think the Canadians would have needed to add more?
@vr1995 in September, Buffalo fans wanted Caufield, most MTL fans thought Drouin was a bust.

That deal is much worse for Buffalo compared to the Vegas one. Drouin and Byron are multi year semi cap dumps. Sabres prefer Tuch. Now what is the Krebs and Caulfield values? Could be equal.
Now if Buffalo knew Montreal might be top 5 lottery pick, yea then maybe Buffalo does the deal, but who would've known in September.
But Habs after a Cup final appearance, at least in September didn't want to trade three NHLers for an injured player
