"Input on trade values is appreciated"
Here it is!

SupremeBone Surely you jest one for one.
First, Jesse plays on a team that scored 58 more goals than Buffalo but Olofsson scored 50% more goals and pts than Jesse.
Second, Puljujärvi played with either Leon or Connor over 75% of the time and managed to scrape together 14 goals and 36 pts in 65 games.
Third, Olofsson played with Cozens, Asplund, Krebs, Okposo, Mittelstadt, Jankowski, Eakin, Ruotsalainen, Murray and Quinn about 50% of the time and managed 20 goals and 49 pts in 72 games, yet you somehow think they are equal.
Fourth, take Jesse away from Connor and Leon and he may not get 10 goals.
Give Victor 75% of his ice time with Connor and Leon, he would probably more than double Jesse's 14 and get 30 goals.
Fifth, 14 goals in 65 games is only one more than Hinostroza got in 62 games, in other words, Vinnie is probably as good as Puljujärvi if Vinnie played wing for Connor or Leon!
That is a horrible deal for Buffalo!
Please stop pretending Puljujärvi has much value when a journey NHL RW playing on a team that is among the lowest scoring teams in the NHL has only ONE less goal than Jesse!

I forgot to add, Tuch, Okposo, Quinn and Hinostroza, Buffalo does not have a spot in the line up for Jesse.
Olofsson would be Buffalo's 2nd line LW, Jesse would be in the press box.

Can't see Olofsson signing for under 4 million. The general thinking around Buffalo has been in the 4.75 range for what he'd take.

I think I’d take that trade with Olofsson. Sir Pool is a different type of forward and in theory would give us a bit more balance overall.

Perhaps a conditional pick can go to Buffalo if Olofsson scores 30 next year?

Isn't Klefbom's contract uninsured? No way Arizona takes it on.

I think all of the trades are fairly reasonable. Might tweak a couple but generally they’re on point - good work.

Alright, thanks for the input! If you care to share, any particular tweaks you would point to?

In all honesty, I'm not clear on what's insured and what's not. Is there a reason it wouldn't be given it's career-ending arthritis derived from playing hockey? It wouldn't be a strictly necessary move as it was only made to get EDM out of LTIR reliance.

Typically teams only insure their 3 to 4 most expensive contracts and I thought I read somewhere Klefbom's contract wasn't insured. Being on LTIR has nothing to do with if a contract is insured or not. If its not insured, you're going to have hard time finding any team to pay over five million dollars for a player that wont play for them, let alone a team so deep in the red like Arizona.

Hmm, I'd be willing to at least consider that. Wouldn't be comfortable with it being a high pick, though.
