Canucks pass.Do not need any more wingers.IMHO.

TBH I would not trade Olofsson for Boeser one for one, much less add Krebs.
Neither Brock nor victor are noted for their defense, they get paid for their goal scoring capabiities.
Over the last four seasons Boeser has played 583:45 more minutes than Olofsson but has one less goal (80 v Olofsson's 81).
Two seasons since they both signed new contracts each Boeser goal cost $309,302 while each Olofsson goal cost $197,917.
Last season Brock played over 60% of the time with one of Miller, Horvat or Petterson as his line mate.
Last season Victor played about 10% of the time with our top two centers Cozens or Thompson.
Last season he had more goals than DeBrincat and only 22 forwards scored at at faster rate than his 1.6 goals/60.
The last two games of the season he played with Girgensons and Okposo yet netted two goals, keep him on that line and our fouth line may exceed 40 goals next year.
I sure hope Karmanos does not give Victor away for a third as many of the Sabre ACGM's often suggest.

No chance Buffalo makes that Vancouver trade. Boeser isn't an upgrade over Olofsson at all, he's just a more expensive version with a much less lethal one-timer. It would take more to get Vejmelka.

Well said.

Hmmm. Are you suggesting Adams won't be the GM at the time of the trade?

Not nearly enough to get Vejmelka.

Maybe, maybe not - with Coyotes flip-flopping between a scorched earth-type rebuild and simultaneously dropping hints that they want to remain "competitive", who really knows which players they keep versus dump. There's also the other side of the equation to consider as to whether players will tire of the losing and ask to be traded. Keller's camp was obviously concerned about the instability of where the franchise will play. Also, the Coyotes re-signed Ingram to a 3 year extension so a Vejmelka/Ingram veteran duo doesn't really fit the rebuild mode as much as the "competitive" mode. Vejmelka's career stats aren't that much better than UPL's albeit he has more NHL experience as a starter and is accustomed to playing behind bad defenses.

When there was the prospect that the Sabres might add a veteran to back up Levi, I was 100% promoting the idea of Vejmelka because his age, cap hit and experience seemed to be a better fit than the Hellebuyck/Gibson/Hart theories floating around fan sites but I've resigned myself to accept Adams is sticking with his goalies for now and see how the season goes with a Levi-UPL tandem. A trade for Vejmelka - or any other goalie - could still happen in the future if the circumstances and events of the season start reinforcing the urgency and need to do so.

No of course not.
Adams is the public face.
Karmanos, Fortan, Ventura and Crowe are the puppeteers and Adams is the puppet.
To Kevyn's credit he understands his short comings and lets the talented crew work behind the scenes.

Interesting theory but based on what?

Based on Kevyn's actions before Karmanos became Associate GM.
When Kevyn became GM he made absolutely terrible free agency decisions.
I may not have posted my thoughts on this site at the time of his signings but I let them known to other people. For example:
TBH, I cannot recall all of his terrible signings but the most egregious was letting Larsson walk and signing Eakin.
Larsson would have signed for less and actually wanted to stay in Buffalo.
He traded Montour for a third.
He traded Hall for a second and over paid him by double when he did sign him.
He let Ullmark walk.

When Karmanos joined the team, suddenly we get Levi and a first for Reinhart, a first and second for Ristolainen, a boat load for Eichel and start making smart UFA signings.

Well that is my belief and my evidence.

Yet Adams allowed Pittsburgh to interview both Karmanos and Ventura.........
