Kunin is your average bottom-to-mid-6 forward, maybe slightly better defensively than offensively in the game. Tolvanen is more offensive kinda guy with a great shot, able to play PP as well. Reckon Kunin will cost you a 2nd rounder or something like that, Tolvanen more than that. Maybe two seconds or a low first?
Given that Farabee was just signed long-term I don't think he's available, but Konecny might be. I could in theory see OTT make a move towards him similar to what they did with Bobby Ryan in 2013, spending two prospects and a first for the guy. I reckon that's the price for Konecny, too. PHI is going to retool whether they want or not because that core is not able to give them any success whatsoever.
Don't think Bjorkstrand's available either. He's of great importance to Columbus. Same applies to Marchenko. Bemström though could be available as he is a bit stuck in that system...maybe a prospect+3rd rounder works here?
Kubalik is likely ending up as UFA so technically you don't have to pay anything for him. His QO is higher than his performance warrants so it's likely that CHI will not be qualifying him. But I don't think they'll be moving Kurashev now unless the move makes them better now.
As for Olofsson, I think he and Tolvanen have same kind of playstyle and price. Olofsson is older and more established to a role, but he's bound to be more expensive too. BUF needs a RHD so maybe Thomson or Bernard-Docker could go the other way in return?
