Zaitsev, is an over paid ($4,500,000 until 2023-24) second pairing RHD
Murray, is an over paid ($6,250,000 until 2023-24) back up GK
Sokolov, is a "B" prospect who probably has a ceiling of a mid six LW
2022 3rd round pick (BOS) will be late in the round which means it is close to a fourth.
Zaitsev, hit and blocks more shots but would offer about the same value as Pysyk ($1,000,000).
Murray would be an upgrade over Tokarski ($1,000,000).
Buffalo has many other mid six forwards who have a higher ceiling than Sokolov.
IMO it would take more than Sokolov and a late 3rd for ANY team to take on $8,750,000 of un-necessary cap for two years.
Both would fill a hole for Buffalo, but their may be better options for Buffalo.
