Horvat isn't needed in Buffalo with their young centres. And no way should Horvat get 7.8m....unless Jim Benning is a GM,
No way NJ trades a lottery pick for Garland. Bo is worth much more than this. Mittelstadt is doing really well this year. He has 5 pts in 5 games and is winning 53% of his faceoffs.

New Jerseys pick isn’t lottery, they’re legit this season. And if they aren’t, they obviously wouldn’t trade for a piece to help them.
If Allvin offered Horvat for Bryson, and 2023 2nd round pick (BUF), I could not imagine a scenario in which Karmanos would say no.
Over the past 3 seasons, Bo has won nearly 56% of his face offs, has 144 pts and 72 goals in 195 games.
While it is true Buffalo has many centers prospects, to obtain a center the quality of Bo for a 3rd pairing LHD and a second is a slam dunk.
IMO for it to be a fair trade Buffalo would need to upgrade the 2nd to a first and add a prospect as Johnson or even Portillo.
Buffalo would only make the deal if Bo was already signed for another 7 years.
Thompson, Horvat, Mittelstadt and Cozens as the four centers would be absolutely phenomenal.
