Are you a Sabres fan?
Bc these trades are all pretty rough for us:
-Overpaying for Murphy
-idk why we’d want LaBanc, so a 2nd for him seems like a bad idea
-and you’re just giving away Mitts & Olofsson- brutal

How about on that Minnesota trade you keep the pick and player and change it to Brock Faber and we can continue our phone call and see what sweeteners need to be added.

I like the Faber idea, but they might see him as untouchable
Probably have to overpay to get him

Murphy is a big defensive defenseman with good underlying numbers on a bad team signed for another 3 years, hes a top 4 guy who can play with Power. What exactly about that trade do you hate? We have so many wingers, so dealing kisakov is a luxury, and the 2nd round pick we have 3. Can't sign everyone.

Labanc is good 5v5 and a vet who will fill in 3rd line. 2nd round pick might be rich, maybe a 3rd would be better.

Olofsson is a $4m PP specialist who is demoted to the 2nd PP and offers very little 5v5. He won't fetch anything more than that.

Mitts is similar.

The upgrade from Lyubushkin to Murphy, is not worth Kissakov AND a 2nd
Just one of them should be enough
Or take out Lyubushkin & send him somewhere for a pick back
It’s just an overpay, like i said

Again, an overpay for LaBanc
You even recognize this

And couldn’t disagree more that Mitts & Olofsson aren’t worth more
Just bc u hate them, doesn’t mean u have to give them away

Also,
you’re just flat out wrong about Olofsson
PP goals- 3
5v5 goals- 10

Agreed they’re worth more
In my dream world trades we’d be gabrikov and Brandon Carlo somehow. Keep Lyubushkin and use picks prospects and mitts and olofsson and we’d be solid on rear for years
