LW
Forsberg
Ehlers
RW
Laine
Mantha
Boeser
Arvidsson
LD
Brodin
Werenski
Sergachev
H Lindholm
RD
Spurgeon
RNH would have to come with an extension otherwise it isn't worth it.
Hertl doesn't have enough term left to be worth it unless SJ is sending some good extras with Hertl.
Domi yes but only if he's signed for 7 or 8 years.
Strome is RFA controlled so that's good but I'd be wary of him fading.
As a Jets fan I wouldn't trade either of Ehlers or Laine for the Sabres 1st, not worth it imo.
Those other forwards you listed might be worth it if they can be signed long term like in Mantha's case, I bet Forsberg would rip it up playing with Eichel, Arvidsson has more term though if I remember correctly, that always has to be a consideration when dealing a top 10 pick imo.
As for the dmen I'd only move that pick for a long term signed Sergachev or Werenski, not enough term with Lindholm and Brodin even with an extension isn't worth a top 10 pick imo.
