What draft pick in the fourth, fifth, sixth, or seventh rounds could San José send to Buffalo?

There's no chance Timo goes to Buffalo better chance he goes to Toronto which will also not happen, delete this offer his salary next season has to be $10M aav, Buffalo needs goaltending the forwards are locked in, if Kane wasn't a fool he'd join the team so that's also unfortunate.

Buffalo is deep in goaltending. Defense should be the greater opportunity to address.

I wouldn't say our forwards are locked in. Our 2nd line has been a mess except for Cozens. Most of our defensive issues come from forwards. Like the game today. Mittelstadt throwing a blind pass backwards for a breakaway. Lazy defense by Olofsson leading to a one-timer. So many of our goals come from forward turnovers.

Timo would be a huge boost.

How would you improve the Sabres' second line?

Too bad, that Timo Meier was just traded to the New jersey Devils. So no Timo Meier to Buffalo.

Move on from Olofsson

Either you try to trade for somebody or hope one of the prospects (Savoie/Rosen/Kulich/Ostlund) develop into one.

Nothing official has been reported yet. If you have a link to an official primary source, please provide it.

I have been thinking Olofsson or Mittlestadt need to go. Olofsson scores more. He would have the higher trade value and return, or he will be the forward to keep.

So it's officially a done deal, They just said that they're waiting on the trade call.

It is not official., You did not provide a link to an official source. Try again, or move on from fake news.

Hardly fake news, When several credible sources have all confirmed the exact same thing. There's an agreeable deal in place. That's all that matters.

I guess every reporter in the league is wrong.

So glad you're not our GM.

Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to much for Meier, lol.

You wanted to give up a 30+ goal scorer in Olofsson.
A first.
A former first in Rosen.
And a second?

Tome for you to find a new day job! LOL.

Meier's actually cost:
No 30+ goal scorers.
1 2023 first round pick.
1 2024 2nd round pick
1 2024 7th round pick
An AHL player.
A guy with 6 goals.
A second round pick.
A late first round pick

You wanted to give away a 30+ goal scorer and 2 former 1sts? LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

LOL! You wanted to give up 2 former/future 1sts
A 30+ goal scorere in Olofsson
AND a 2nd!

What NJ gave up, in BUF equivalency:

2023 NJ 1st > 2023 BUF 1st
2023 2nd << 2023 2nd
7th rounder Johnsonn >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Rosen
Zetterland <> Portillo
Olofsson >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> OKHOTIUK
MUKHAMADULLIN = 1st

Your offer: 30+ goal scorer, 2 former/future 1sts, 2nd
SJS got: no 30+ goal scorer, 2 former/future 1sts, 2nd, 7th

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad you're not our GM. Find a new job!

Olofsson has never scored 30 goals. He's worth about a 2nd. Terrible 5v5.

It's pretty much

Rosen
1st
2 2nds

They got

Muk
Zetterlund
Okhotiuk
1st
2nd (can become 1st)

Similar value

I guess in your head.

ROR got a 1st for 10 goals.
Tarasenko got a 1st for 12 goals.

Olofsson who has more goals combined (23) is worth a 2nd?

LOL.

I know this might seem crazy, but a player's value isn't just goals. Teams also think about how many goals the other team scores when they are on the ice.

Olofsson on the ice 5v5

26 goals for
39 against

If you want a comparison Nino got a 2024 2nd with 18 goals. Similar contracts. Nino is also much better 5v5. Crazy a guy with 18 goals got less than ROR & Tarasenko! How is that possible?

Maybe a history of winning a cup and one being a conn smythe winner or something. I guess that's valuable or something. Idk.

ROR
22GF 37GA

Tarasenko
25GF 29GA

You were saying?

It usually helps if you read the entire post instead of just one half. Here I'll repost to help you out.

Aww, so kind of you. I read that part. I guess Jagr is worth a 1st too? If you're so intent on living in the past.

Or let me guess, you think your words are worth internet gold?

The facts are NJ paid much less than you offered here. So eat it.

Is Jagr in the NHL?

If Olofsson had some playoff experience & a history of playing well in the playoffs maybe he'd be worth more. He's got 0 playoff goals though.

They didn't. It's pretty similar value. Try harder next time.

It's not similar at all. NJ didn't give up a 23-goal scorer. You try harder. NJ would be giving up Bratt in your trade.
