The thought process here is that Montreal have a surplus in LD prospects, and with Levi coming through, Portillo is essentially rendered obsolete. While Buffalo may very well use Portillo in a more blockbuster deal, which is fair, I could see a minor swap like this where they get another young offensive defenceman who is close to NHL ready to join the already young D core and Drouin could be a good, cheap playoff rental who compliments Buffalo's goal heavy strategy that they could fairly easily resign next year as a redemption project. I could also see Buffalo going for Edmundon as he still has term and he's a good veteran with a big body and leadership is perfect for a young team finally in the playoffs.
