Buffalo isn't trading for Mrazek with the current contract he has, they have UPL in the farm and could just sign a free agent in the offseason for league minimum.

Engvall and Ritchie don't provide much of any value to the Hawks with their lineup today. Dermott is going to be fighting with Kalynuk, Stillman, and Caleb Jones for a spot on the left side below McCabe and De Haan. We also have namely Beaudin and Vlasic developing. Not saying Dermott doesn't have value overall, but to the Hawks with a logjam of young bottom 3 defensive guys, Dermott doesn't hold a lot of value is my guess.

Mrazek has an NTC - no way he waives it to go to BUF.

in what world does Buffalo consider this??

I wouldnt consider Asplund for Mrazek one for one

The 1st and 2nd are enticing, I don't mind Engvall also but Dermott would join and already packed LD unit and Ritchie is well lets just say "Ritchie".

This move would make you guys a whole lot better and in return not do a great deal for us. The 1st and 2nd will be late in the respective rounds probably bring this overall trade down a little and likely to a point where I would oppose this deal going through.
