Buffalo fell short of expectations this season, but between Tampa showing signs of slowing down and the second wildcard spot seemingly being up for grabs, picking up a star for futures that won't be in play for at least one more season should be on the Sabres' front office's mind. Marner is a 26 year old who's shown his two way ability and playmaking skills time and time again, and though his playoff showings haven't been all too glorious, Buffalo needs to make it there in the first place before complaining about his post season impact. Between the cap going up and his play being unimpressive to say the least, it's unlikely he gets more than $11 mil, which isn't bad for a 70 assist pk1 pp1 guy.

Skips over Toronto for Calgary in 3 way deal (Leafs acquire Weeger and Andersson)

Calgary is stuck between a rock and a hard place with their current roster construction. No big name prospects, no top end talent, bad contracts, the whole 9 yards for a team destined to enter a massive rebuild. With this trade, they offload the Weeger deal and remove any potential mess that would come from an Andersson extension while getting back 3 futures with incredible upside and a first.
