Could Buffalo pry Gauthier out of Anaheim?
Assuming Anaheim matches the Carlsson offer sheet they’d probably have to nuke their already thin depth to also keep Gauthier signed. Buffalo could offer Anaheim a young winger that’s ready in a Oslund/Quinn type of player, help their weak RD by offering a high end prospect in Mrtka and give them some draft capital to help them fill in holes at the deadline.
Adding a young 40 goal scorer could be the move to put Buffalo over the top even if they have to let Krebs walk to give Gauthier the 12-13mil contract he’s probably looking for. Just spitballing but Jarmo is open to the big splash trade and a guy like Gauthier who shouldn’t be available would be a great target
