That is a truly horrible trade for Tampa. It would be bad even if you took the 1st out

A late first is an early 2nd...Mittelstadt to Tampa for Cirelli.

I think your trade falls apart cause Killorn has 16 team no trade list...

Zemgus Girgensons at the trade deadline would be a nice addition to Tampa he’s a better and cheaper Goodrow.

...Seabrook’s ltir will be factored in and not counting towards their overall hit next year...
Wow this trade has generated more buzz than I ever saw involving ANY Buffalo players.
An examination of this trade reveals it is closer than first glance would offer.
I am sure many will disagree but if Mittelstadt was traded one for one for Killorn, at the end of the season their stats would be nearly identical.
Including this year, Killorn averages 0.556 pts/gm over his career.
Casey was injured most of the year yet still managed nearly 0.5 pts/gm.
Put him into a Bolts uniform playing for a team that had 55 more goals than Buffalo, Sabre fans would regret this trade.
Of course the reverse would hold true for Killorn, on a lower scoring team, he will regress to his stats of about 45 pts/season.
Which is exactly where I would expect Casey to be at this end of next season.
I will be first to admit, I was shocked that Asplund received any Selke votes.
Not because he is not a really strong defensive forward, but rather, most players who are considered for that award also score a lot.
Put Rasmus on the same line with Cirelli and they just may split the Selke votes next year.
More importantly, Rasmus has demonstrated the ability to score a few goals.
I think his 6 goals in the IIHF were only one behind the 7 scored by Cozens, Dubois and Pastrnak. Dylan and Pierre needed 10 games, Rasmus only played 8 games (one more than David).
He also did very well at the end of last season on a line with Casey and Tage.
Jack Finley does not do anything to the trade other than balancing the roster and he is a RHC.
His ceiling appears to be a solid AHL player.
If Buffalo was considering trading either Mittelstadt or Olofsson, then I think this trade makes sense.
Buffalo makes four trips to the podium on the first day of the draft, flips Killorn at the 2023 TDL for another pick (or a RHD this year) and prays I am wrong about Finley.
If Tampa is looking to shed some cap, this is a good option.
Asplund and Cirelli would shut down nearly any top line, Mittelstadt would be a good replacement for Killorn.
All it cost was the 31st or 32nd OA pick from this draft.
All in all, I will agree with my fellow Sabre fans and pass on this trade.
On the other hand.
Four trips to the draft podium on the first day would be a dream for Jeremiah Crowe.
