I'm not sure why people want a forward for Galchenyuk.
We're 5th in the league in scoring, 23rd in the league in goals against (Mostly thanks to Jarry). Schultz hasn't been playing well and is an UFA after this season. You trade Galchenyuk for Miller, then you can move Schultz at the deadline if Miller plays well. You get a right-handed offensive-defenseman for 2 seasons at $3.8M a season.
Galchenyuk for Colin Miller makes perfect sense. The Sabres have a plethora of defenseman. Miller isn't playing not because he's bad, but because of the absolute dearth of defenseman they have. You unload an under-performing player who doesn't fit to help with Buffalo's powerplay. The Penguins get more defensive depth and a potential replacement for Schultz. I just don't see Galchenyuk's value being much higher than that, and whatever forward you get in return isn't going to be better than what we have, it makes no sense.
