Every GM values the unknown more than the known.  They could draft a star at 9.  Rosen will be lucky to be a 3rd line NHL player. 

Agree on that. Might be necessery to trow in a 2nd or a 3rd and a 4th to make a trade including Rosen as interesting as the 9th.

Yeah Brady Tkachuk was the apple of many Sabres fans eye a year ago.  I think he’s cemented himself as their centerpiece and core player.  I doubt any package not involving Tage or Rasmus wouldn’t be good enough for him.  
 

As far as who else is available, if I’m KA (I know bear with me here), I’d call every team asking about their grittiest most intense actually good hockey player under 30 and see if some semblance of a deal can get done with Byram/Power, Quinn, Rosen, 9 OA whatever it takes.  

I don't even think it was a realistic option ever imo.

#9, JJP , rosen out -> Jason robertson in -- Might also try and see about swinging Dumba or Lundkvist if they're still looking for RHD.  

Or swap JJP and tuch.  Or benson or Östlund.  In any case - trying to make a move for robertson is the biggest move i can see out there with a player who has no clause, and a team that is in a cap crunch.  He's likely to get 11-12M AAV on a new deal after next season and I'm not sure they can keep him.

Seguin @ 9.85, Hintz @ 8.45, Rantanen @ 12 - thats about 30M in cap space.  Add in Johnston @ 8.4.  Heiskanen and Lindell.  Harley will need to get paid.  Oettinger's salary goes up as well.

Holy hell it feels like yesterday Seguin was traded to Dallas and now he's 33.
