Canucks decline easily. Giving up the best player in the trade and including Highlander. No thank you. Ideally we try to improve our team

Bryson as Power’s partner?? 🤮🤮🤮
That’s kinda crazy imo

What do you mean? Bryson played with every D-man last year, including Power.

I don't understand this trade. Olofsson and Garland are very similar and you are shipping out our 1 true RD and benching Hoglander after trading for him. What's the point? To get worse?

I agree.
While Garland does hit and blocks more shots, the difference is very small and neither of them PK.
It appears that the Canuck ACGM's have a very high opinion of Garland, but over 82 games Olofsson has averaged 24 goals and 55 pts while Garland is at 22 and 50 respectively.
Let me add IMO Buffalo needs a scoring LW more than a scoring RW.
After Skinner with out Olofsson, Buffalo would ice, Girgensons, Asplund and Krebs, none of them are snipers.
On RW Tuch and Okposo would most likely get 20 goals next year with Quinn maybe exceeding either of them.
Höglander may have a higher ceiling than he has demonstrated, but Jokiharju is a at least a second pairing RHD.
Garland ~ Olofsson
Höglander ~ Jokiharju
nothing <<< Portillo

Yea, this trade is basically Hoglander <> Joker + Portillo

The sabres need RD and goalie. I don't get it.

So what?
That doesn’t make him a good choice to be Power’s partner for the season next year

Just followed your link….
Are u F-ing kidding me?
They played less than 6min together!

I take it back- it’s not “kinda” crazy,
it’s bat-**** crazy 🤣🤣🤣
