Quoting: rktkt66
Yes, the Sabres are looking to shed Olofsson from the roster but not to add another underachieving forward from the outside - they need his roster spot for their prospects to graduate into this fall.
Quoting: BagOfPucks
although I agree, but Yams can definitely use a refresh scenery, before covid shut the league down, he was statistically really well, maybe him on a line with Tage and someone else could respark his game?
Sabers can always move someone older for a spot for their young guns
Others may disagree, but anything less than a second the Sabres probably would not want to trade him.
Over the last 3 seasons he has averaged 1.159 goals per 60 (https://www.quanthockey.com/nhl/seasons/last-3-nhl-seasons-forwards-stats.html).
IMO the Sabres would want to trade him for a RHD, so Yamamoto does not fit that catagory.
Buffalo may have some interest as he does KP, his salary would be closer to a middle six forward and Buffalo has too many options to consider adding another one.
IMO the value would certainly get Buffalo's attention, but they probably would pass on the deal.
