You're the one that's delusional if you think you're getting Larkin extended for that Garbage. Other than the 1st it's total rubbish Mittelstadt is a decline compared to Larkin and Kulich and Johnson are major jokes. This crap doesn't get a Dylan Larkin signed autograph it's pure rubbish.
When did I say that I thought this trade was good or fair? I think it would be a bad move for Buffalo to go after Larkin, we already have Tage Thompson as our 1C and Dylan Cozens as our 2C, both near the top of the league for their respective positions. Spending the assets and cap on another center when we will have Dahlin, Power, Krebs, Jj Peterka, Quinn, etc to sign. The Sabres forward group seems to be pretty set for now, at least the top 9. I don’t foresee them adding someone they expect to be in the top 6. Between the young NHLers growing, and the prospects (Kulich, Savoie, Ostlund, Rosen, etc) there really isn’t need or room for more forwards other than possibly 4th line replacements next year. If anything, a trade would be for a defenseman, to upgrade Bryson and maybe push Jokiharju down a pair.
And as to your point of value, that package is more than what Bo Horvat got, and he was extended. Horvat has twice as many goals this season and more points. Larkin had more points last season, but Horvat matched him in goals, and beat him in points and goals the year prior. Just some food for thought.
