That is actually an interesting Markstrom trade

why would boston do that?

Last year it might have made sense to add Olofsson as an almost 30 goal scorer but he's played so poorly this year I don't see it happening, least of all for a rookie Center

Philly isn't trading Attard for 2 random players that either aren't good or aren't necessary. Attard will likely move up to the NHL when Philly trades Walker.

Wings pass, not a player they need

Jersey probably does that, Calgary certainly does, don’t see why Buffalo would tho

In: 2nd, Vitek
Out: Krebs, 6 mill in retention.

Seems like taking on the vitek dump, retaining that much, and giving up krebs would get you more than a 2nd

So Krebs out, vanecek in and a wasted retention spot for two seasons, plus retaining 4m. Oh, and the Sabres get a late second next year. Vanecek would have to be really good. Is vanecek really good? Also, 4m in cap retention is getting pretty close to needing a first rounder, either way, there isn't a chance in hell that pegula directly pays actual money to make another team better. He only does it indirectly.
