all that for a 3rd line winger?? why not use those assets to get a center
Olofsson is not a third line winger. He plays on the top line and leads the Sabres with 7 goals and 14 points.

it would be helpful to look at the trade before making a comment
Shibbal does not believe listening to other people, he is an absolute expert on anything hockey, just ask him.
While I am not in favor of trading Olofsson, that is an excellent return.
Tippett, taken 10th OA in 2017, he could be Florida's best prospect, if not, he is close in value to Denisenko and Lundell.
Montembeault, does not have any value to the Sabres as they have two much better GK prospects. But as most team add a GK in the draft, let's keep him in.
Connolly, appears to be struggling this year. Please tell me why, he is a solid mid six RW which Buffalo could use
right now.
Noel, taken 34th OA in 2018 draft is a long shot RW prospect.
2021 2nd round pick (FLA) not bad to add picks
2022 4th round pick (FLA) make this 2021 just so Buffalo can realize results sooner.
Major pieces coming the Buffalo are Tippet and Connelly. IMO Florida would need to drop the two picks and Noel then add a first round pick.
I know I am a home town fan, but Olofsson is that good.
