Ollofsson isn't a good fit in TO

"The first is late in the round and has the value of an early 2nd"

"The third is nearly a second"

Lol

Savoie isn’t going to play for the Sabres this season. Kulich is a maybe it depends on what they do on July 1st. Mittelstadt is getting an extension this summer. And they don’t want another bad goalie in Murray they already have 2 signed for this year.

oh this definitely aint it chief

Buffalo passes on Murray. Murray is not the same goaltender he was six to seven years ago.

LOL, that was rather poorly phrased.
You are correct, the difference between the first and the third turns out to be about the 33rd OA.
Just making the point that It is a late first not a mid first.

Murray is not the prize the first round pick is the object of trade.
As you can see, if other GM's were willing Buffalo could end up with 3 first round picks after trading away Casey and taking Murray's cap hit.

I get it.
Johnson and Peeke are huge upgrades over Bryson and Lyubushkin.
Casey is probably not going to be traded.

On the other hand, this post gives Buffalo a good RHD to pair with Power, moves Olofsson for a first (by taking on additional cap), takes Bryson off of the roster and as the title indicates makes room for the new crop of prospects.
Johnson is a bit older than Samuelsson when Mattias became a fixture in the line up while he will start out in Rochester he may be brought up mid season just as Samuelsson was.
Krebs deserves a chance to prove himself as well and Jost slides into the forth center spot.
You are most likely correct Kulich and Savoie (I moved him to Rochester) are too young to be brought into the NHL.
Of the two, Kulich could be ready right now, and Savoie may need to grow a bit.

I am not disagreeing with you only expanding on my POV.

Actually the only parts i disagree with are Peeke being "good" (cant believe people still think this) and mittelstadt getting traded for him. I have no issue with RJ or Kulich in the NHL. Or with Casey getting moved really. Just not for peeke.

VERY FAIR.

I actually saw a Boston post the moved Mittelstadt for Carlo, now that would be a HUGE upgrade.

Clague, Mittelstadt, for Carlo, Duran, and 2025 3rd round pick (BOS)
I should have used that trade.
Maybe I can do another post with that one.
EDIT:
I can take Olofsson out of the Leafs trade and find another landing spot for him.
Trading Casey is particullary hard for me as I have been tooting his horn for somr time.
But to get Carlo, he has to go.

Yeah as i commented on that post, it's an intriguing idea and personally, id do that one. Not sure boston would

wouldnt mind. but mittelstadt is just starting to become what he was supposed to look like, not sure why the sabres give him away now

I'd take that for CBJ, but there's probably not a ton of interest in Bryson on our end. Could we just do Mittelstadt for Peeke + the 2nd or 3rd?

Fair warning though: Peeke is very much NOT GOOD imo.

Murray is not the goaltender 31 NHL teams would want to have in 2023-2024.
