Quoting: Offseasonfantasyy
Yep lol, buffalo is in an interesting spot, you don't want to trade prospects but at some point all the spots are filled...and then they will have too, if I was gm I would do it sooner than later with a hockey trade that adds a little experience to the group, still lacking a goalie but Levi doesn't seem to far away.
You are correct, Buffalo has a great line up and better future.
Buffalo will have two spots to fill next year, Girgensons and Okpooso.
Jost is a waiver claim and this could also be his final season with the Sabres.
That is three forward spots that could be vacant next year,
Buffalo does not have to trade prospects.
Take out Girgensons, Okposo, and jost while inserting Savoie, Kulich and Benson and you will get even more excited.
Adding Konecny, and Laughton while making another hole at RHD (Jokiharju) is not good asset management.
The Sabres will probably continue stocking their prospect pool, signing players to team friendly contracts as Thompson, Cozens and Samuelsson did.
If a player does not sign a contract commensurate with the Buffalo Cost of Living, they will be traded either to fill holes in the line or picks.

I don’t see them moving Krebs but if you swapped him for Rosen and take out Rousek I could see them maybe doing it?
Tk for 1st, Rosen, Joki
Laughton for Ostlund and Olofsson
Maybe that’s fair? Idk It would be essentially two 1sts and a 2nd for Tk which is around what the flyers want and then a 1st and a dump for Laughton which is probably less than what they want but the TK part of the trade makes up for it
"a dump"
This is refering to Olofsson?
So Victor scoring more goals over the past four seasons than Boeser, make Olofsson a
DUMP?
Olofsson will play next year at half the cap hit as DeBrincat yet had one more goal than Alex last year, who played 500 more minutes with Pinto and Batherson as his primary line mates, this makes Olofsson a
DUMP?Buffalo may trade him as they may have other forwards who can fill his spot who will be on ELC's, but he is certainly not a
DUMP!
