What about Demko and Boeser to BUF?

For the same package? Demko + Boeser for Mittlestadt + Jokiharju + 1st 2024 (protected)?

We have no real indication that Demko is going to be moved. There's no reason to believe he will be moved. IF he is moved, then I'd be fine with that return.

I don't know why the Canucks would have any interest in that

Nope. Horvat doesn't make sense for buffalo.

We have our top 2 centers and he's older than our core. A long term deal makes no sense, nor does trading big assets for him

Why?

Nukes Buffalo's defense which is what they need to reinforce, so it makes no sense

Sabres don't need a goalie or Boeser

I think this is a fair price for Horvat from Buffalo. He'd obviously make us better, but a winger with short term, or some control makes more sense. I'm probably just clouded by the Meier rumors tho lol. Timeline just doesn't quite make sense for a rental IMO

Edit: adding Schenn coming back would make more sense too, if they were in a position to sell out for rentals
