I would do the Compher trade if I were making calls for the Avs. The brass seems to like him a lot though, so they may say no.

My guess is it wouldn't be popular amongst Buffalo fans, but I think Compher would be a good guy for the Sabres to have in their locker room. He has good leadership qualities, which would be beneficial until the youngsters come into their own more.

The sabres drafted Compher so I would be interested in him but I'd rather have a spot for Jack Quinn in the line up for next year.

Same rationale for goes for the Caps trade. The value is there but we'd like to get guys our young guys into the lineup next year.

As a Caps fan I wouldn't do it. Hagg is really bad and Oolofsson is a PP specialist. Our PP does suck but if I'm giving up a 1st I want to get someone better.

I would just re-sign Pysyk. I'm not sure there will be a place in the line-up for Compher next season, maybe we'll just trade Miller for 2nd.

He would be on the third line and penalty kill for sure. There would definelty be a spot for him. He can play all three forward positions and he is Colorado’s main penalty killing forward. I’d love to have him, but that seems like more of an off-season move, another university of Michigan alumni ironically. I can see the interest in Colin Miller. He fits in great there and can play both sides with ease. His best season in Vegas was actually on the left side.

As far as the Olafsson trade. If Buffalo gets anything remotely close to a first alone for Olafsson, I would take that and run, but I don’t think he’s worth a first. He probably doesn’t factor in to the long term plans in Buffalo, but as of now, I wouldn’t move him until the off-season. The Sabres have two really good lines righty now with Tage-Tuch-Skinner and Cozens-Krebs-Olafsson. If Quinn is healthy along with a Mittelstadt who was their best player in camp, that’s two thirds of a third line. It’s not like they’ll push for a playoff spot or anything when they are healthy but you still need some guys who can play and play with the young guys.

I think Olafsson is valued at a second round pick. He’s a poorman’s Victor Arvidsson, and isn’t as well rounded, and he fetched a two and a three

Holl is definitely better than Pysyk

If we don't trade Olofsson or Mittelstadt there won't be a place for Compher, I know he's a decent player, but priority will be given to youth and Adams has already said that.
