Seattle is going to take Bastian unless we give them something to take Butch or 11.

I know that reference and I’m so old that I immediately thought of the original version.

Took me a few seconds, as I read that at first as "STING", LOLThere is only ONE version of Picard.
The STTNG one, not the frail old man we see on the Picard series.

Unless something changes with the team prior to the expansion draft, I wouldn't waste any asset trying to deal with Seattle. We aren't risking losing anyone important enough or needing to get rid of anyone badly enough for it to happen.
I also thing Buffalo takes Power and it makes a lot of sense for Seattle to take Beniers.
I read somewhere that Power is considering not entering the draft or something like that....
Power is considering returning to the University of Michigan for his sophomore season. And extra year of development is never bad for a D -- see Makar and Q. Hughes. But some skeptics think it's a power play because he does not want to be drafted by Buffalo which, judging by Buffalo's recent history of disfunction both in the front office and on the ice, would not be extremely shocking.
Buffalo has an owner with a quick trigger finger and their organization needs improvement virtually everywhere, but they are not getting the money for scouting or development from the higher ups. This puts a lot of pressure on the GMs, AGMs and coaches to turn things around quickly -- and Power saying he does not want to play in the NHL next year could push the Sabres towards Beniers.
Who knows? This would be a foolish decision for Buffalo, but you're talking about a team which received less for Taylor Hall and Brandon Montour than the Devils did for Kyle Palmieri and Travis Zajac, or the Blue Jackets did for a shell of what used to be Nick Foligno.
Seems like a hollow threat unless he's ready to stay at Michigan until he hits UFA, but Kevyn Adams got clowned at the deadline so who knows, maybe it works.
Pronman has L'Heureux ranked at #28
Id trade it anyway, so it shouldnt matter muchCan you please link to these rankings so I can see them?
P.S.
The way the Isles are playing, the Devils pick might unfortunately wind up at #32.
Power might be trying to simply give Buffalo a gentle nudge towards Beniers. Or maybe I'm misreading it.

Yeah, I know, they seem like a machine at this point. Who had Kyle Palmieri as a Conn Smythe contender?
Top 151 Prospects for 2021 NHL Draft: Owen Power leads Corey Pronman's final rankings
Thanks for the link. I love Pronman, but -- as always -- I disagree with a lot of his rankings. I think his natural inclination is to err on the side of caution, while I tend to look at the draft eligibles in the most optimistic light possible. I think he's undervaluing a few players I'm pretty high on, like Lysell, Rosen and Pinelli. Humorously enough, we agree almost to a tee on guys like Lucius and Edvinsson.
