@Beetlejuice
Here is the deal.
You are correct
Okposo, Kyle + Johnson, Ryan + 2021 1st round pick (BUF) = nothing, so take them out.
Cozens, Dylan + Luukkonen, Ukko-Pekka + 2022 2nd round pick (BUF) is very fair for Kane, Patrick ($3,500,000 retained)
Sort of getting Strome, Dylan + Subban, Malcolm + Krys, Chad for nothing IMO
I think the general consensus among Buffalo Sabre fans (and most scouts) is Cozens and Luukkonen are going to be very good.
Cozens will be a 65 - 70 top six player in a year or two and Luukkonen will the the starting GK in two years.
Buffalo is more than adding Kane away from being a cup finalist.
So you are correct the offer is a very fair, and maybe beyond fair, but 3 years of Kane does not equal 10 years of Cozens and Luukkonen.
So I and my two friends below politely pass.
