if you’re giving away olofsson for a 4th and a couple of bottom six guys, the flames would much prefer that deal. One year of reinhart is not worth two 1sts and ruzicka

Habs accept

Fair value on the LA trade, but I think LA would push back on Bjornfot. He and Anderson are big pieces of the defensive core moving forward. My understanding is that Buffalo doesn't really want defense anyway and would rather have another forward.

fair enough, I thought I overpriced him a little bit.

Its not one year, he's a RFA

RFA with arb rights this summer, He can force his way to UFA next year, and likely will if not traded before he resigns, so it's pretty much the same thing

Olofsson is much better than the 2 players hes getting moved for

Or they could just give him a fair contract

Except that he has wanted a long term deal for a while now. The Sabres have failed to commit to him. His next contract will be 5+ years, regardless of where it happens to be
