Would be thrilled with that return for Boqvist, but it's probably a bigtime overpayment. With how his injuries have been I don't know that he holds a great deal of value anymore.

Larkin turned down 8 x $8,000,000 = $64,000,000 from Detroit.

7 x $8,500,000 = $59,500,000 from Buffalo isn't enough.

7 x $9,150,000 Mat Barzal deal = $64,050,000 is much closer to what Buffalo would need to pay.

FYI Larkin wants the 8th year, So he's definitely not going to free agency without it being very expensive to sign him.

I would say Mittlestadt for Boquist is a pretty fair deal. .... he his certainly young enough and has shown glimpses of what he can be.

You said it - injuries. That has derailed a process...... but he is still going to be awefully good.

Respectfully, if columbus got that return for boqvist I think I'd go help pack his bags for him lol. I could see something more similar to a boqvist for just futures or straight up for a guy like mittelstadt. He's a good offensive defenseman but he's been inconsistent and has had injury issues so that definitely takes some of the shine off of his value

I do think Buffalo could be a good fit for a boqvist trade though, so will be interesting to see how it all plays out IRL

Oh look, another AGM where somebody gives up Olofsson for a sack of potatoes, and overpays in a trade for a guy who is always hurt. I thought the point was to make the team better, not worse. Love the pipe dream Larkin signing, though, why in the hell would he sign in Buffalo to play third line center?
