Sabres definitely aren't making that trade. No reason to trade a 30 goal scorer while retaining 3 mil on his contract and Casey, who has been decent when healthy, for a couple of middle 6 forwards and another LHD when the sabres don't have cap problems.

Understandable. Just came to my mind like the Calgary one. Still a few I got to do

Don't see this as being a trade Buffalo would or even should consider...

I don’t think we will ever see a team retain 3M for 5 years. Ever

I doubt either team does it tbh...
I think you all underestimate the Krueger effect on Mittelstadt and Skinner.
if you want to see how deleterious it was look no further than Even Rodrigues,
An injured Mittelstadt out performed Kapanen, yet some how Kasperi is the better of the two.
23 yo has 20 NHL games and 5 points yet some how Penguin fans think he will shoe horn his way into the lineup over Dahlin, Power and Samuelsson.
Skinner will get 30 goals next year as his line mates can keep up with him instead of him having to be the ONLY quality player on the ice.
This is not just a bad trade for Buffalo it is absolutely horrendous trading for a cap dump LW, underperforming RW and a place holder LHD.
@Imagine875948 thank you for posting this then understanding the reason buffalo does not make the trade more than the other Penguin fans who decided to disagree with the Sabre fans who actually watch Skinner and Mittelstadt.
