Connor Murphy is a fine RhD, which is just what Buffalo needs (probably to partner Owen Power), and is signed for three more seasons at a very favorable cap hit. That being said, if Buffalo trades a first for him, it shouldn't be the 2023 pick -- that is virtually guaranteed to be no later than 13th overall and there's a small chance it might drop to 12th. Murphy plus something for the 2024 first, or Rosen and the Buffalo (not Philly) 2023 second, makes sense for the Sabres. And given what the Black Hawks accepted for McCabe and Lafferty, they might not get (or want) another high 2023 pick at all.
