Wow. What is up with BUF fans just giving players away? A 5th for UPL? He was a 2nd round pick. After years and years and years of development, you're giving him away for a 5th. Would you do that on draft day? Trade a 2nd for a 5th. Just asinine.

Bryson for nothing? At the very least just keep him in ROC. Umm, you need depth on D.

28 goals gets you a 3rd round pick? Okay.

We’re doing Bryson a solid, there’s no room for him and he’s not even needed in ROC. If we get a late pick fine, otherwise FC. We need room for Kulich and with his price, a high 3rd is fair.

UPL isn’t worth a 2nd now.

I don’t think the Preds would be the team to bite of Olofsson

You're right. He's worth more.

There's no room for him is hilarious. You must not remember the ECF against CAR. You need depth.

Why do we need room for Kulich? That's the beauty of being waiver-exempt. He can be an injury call up and not require a spot.

Please point me to the last time a guy coming off a 28-goal season was traded for a 3rd. I'll hang up and listen.

Feel like you're selling low on these players, for no reason too. Why can't UPL be at the worst a backup for the future? Why can't Bryson be a utility guy for the third pair? Olofsson just had 28 goals and you're essentially giving him away too.

BUF fans are all goo goo ga ga for Levi, meanwhile:

Goalie 1: 6-1-1 .916 (trade him for a 5th, get him out of here!)
Goalie 2: 5-2-0 .905 (anoint him Dominator status!)

I mean I might be high on Levi but it's just a massive commitment for a goalie who has barely played at the NHL level. Buffalo came pretty close to the playoffs with Anderson, UPL, and Comrie. It's not that deep, just play it out.

Fortunately, KA is the GM and not people who just give players away for nothing.

For real, it feels like we want Buffalo to succeed more than their own fans do.

Name me the team that is knocking down the door for Olof? Maybe he'll fetch a 2nd, w/ retention, but we're not getting a 1rst. It's better to sell now, before he becomes a healthy scratch.

This team I did is a Playoff team.

I understand that his value might not be too high but why is it a necessity to trade him? He can easily be a solid middle six scoring option for next season. There's just no reason to sell low on him after a career season. Cap space isn't really an issue right now in Buffalo so I just don't see the point.

Because there's younger players who will take his spot and he's a defensive liability. Again, sell now while he has some value.

I agree with the defensive liability part but I feel like that can be solved by putting him with the right linemates. I also agree with trading players while they have value but when you say "some" value, a third just isn't enough to be willing to move him.
