Buffalo is not going to give you a 25-30 goal scorer, a very high 2nd, and a 3rd for a 33 year old D man on an expiring deal who is injury prone. I like Tanev as a player, but that's not a deal Adams will make. The Sabres' 2nd round in 2023 and Olofsson 50% retained for Tanev and a 2023 3rd or so could realistically occur. I could even see a world of a straight up Olofsson for Tanev deal. Keep in mind Olofsson is significantly younger and doesn't have injury history

I can see Anaheim giving you a third for Kylington. The Ducks have no use for Vladar. Try up the road.

Jackets accept

Then you aren’t getting Tanev. Tanev gets a 1st+ as a rental no question. He’s so underrated and would be the absolute perfect fit to partner with Power and help him bring his game to the next level like he did with Hughes in Vancouver and Kylington in Calgary. Calling him a 33 year old injury prone defenseman is just silly. How about a top-10 defensive dman in the league (both by the eye test and analytics) with great mobility and puck skills who has proven to be an elite partner/mentor for young up and coming dmen? If he were to be on the market he’d be the 3rd best dman available (behind only Pesce and Orlov).

Olofsson+high 2nd would be fine value, but the Flames just don’t really need Olofsson and would probably just go for the highest pick available, and the Flames sure wouldn’t be sending a pick back the other way. Olofsson for Tanev straight up would be an easy no from Calgary. I don’t see a fit between Buffalo and Calgary for Tanev because the 13th pick is too much but the 2nd is too late. I see Tanev being held til next deadline and going for a 2024 1st and 3rd

I just put this one in the recycle bin.
Woof where's the eyebleach.

Yes like I was saying no problem with Tanev as a player, he's fantastic. However, he is injury-prone. He's missed 21% of games in the past 9 seasons. It's an average of 17 games a season (which is significant). I'd predict as he gets older, he misses more time. I can absolutely be wrong. I'd do Olofsson 50% retained and the Sabres 2023 2nd but no more
