Sabres pass
Pointless for us

Cogs is a superhuman that takes injuries like a pro and loves to win... something the sabres don't much

Tampa declines? I mean we can just sign a career AHLer with whatever leftover cap we have instead of giving up an asset for one

Plus, didn't Colorado just extend the guy too?

Decent prospect.

Eh, decent maybe, but already at 27. Already have 2 projects with Merela and ABB in the system fighting for a possible 2/3W spot this season anyways.
Could provide stability in Syracuse or just end up being another Ryfors for us and peace out back to Sweden after posting a career year or not even cracking the roster at all.

Getting a 3C would be a good move but generally speaking they should look to preserve as much as cal space a possible so that they could easily add a top 6 forward rental if one becomes available at TDL.

I think olofsson is a project. Dude has the size and hands. Just gotta give him an opportunity

Loved Cogliano 10 years ago, now he is one more injury away from the end of his Iron Man career. The Sabres don’t seem to be looking for veteran third and fourth line guys right now anyway.

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth savin'
And you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'

Let's be candid here, first, Jost is a worth more than his pure statistics.
When he joined Casey and Henri, the third line started producing nearly 2 pts per game.
Second, with Savoie, Kulich and Benson in the wings, Olofsson, Girgensons, Okposo and Jost will be cap casualties soon.
Okposo will finish his career as a Sabre but Jost and Olofsson could be traded at the TDL.
Third, Cogliano could be a real asset on the Sabres PK.
He had nearly double of the PK time of any Sabre, and blocked more shots than any Sabre forward.
Fourth, the Sabres add a third round pick, that could lead to a player in their prospect pool.
Fifth, which was over looked, he has 120 games of NHL playoff experience.
Most important, if Pegula got wind of this trade and KA did not take it, Terry would fine him $1,175,000, the difference between Jost and Cogliano salary.
