Sujet: Lafreniere trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Czu8iksdivclassquotedivclassquote_tQuotingbRavensShadowbdivdivdivclassquotedivclassquote_tQuotingbsaysthemachine</b></div><div>On BUF only Skinner and Thompson have more ESG than him since Lafreniere entered the league, and they make 7m and 9m.</div></div> Oh so close to the facts.
Most of Buffalo's other forwards are young or play a defensive role.
You left out Tuch and while Olofsson has only 40 ESG v Lafreniere's 44, Victor has 14 more total goals over that same period.
While Alex most likely has a higher ceiling than Victor, it is a bad trade for Buffalo as they also have to take on Goodrows cap for the next four years.

Too many people forget how good Olofsson is at scoring goals.
Only 17 NHL forwards scored goals faster than his 1.6/60 min last year.
He has more goals then Boeser over the last four years, playing in fewer games.
He had one more goal than DeBrincat last year with a much better +/- -23 v -33
One would never presume he would fetch an early first and a 20 goal forward as Alex did, but there will be NHL GM's who covet his goal scoring prowess.

Put him on a line with Goodrow and Victor would find the open spaces to score goals while Barkley would cover Olofsson's defensive short comings.

Sujet: KAndre - Laffy Part 1
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gdli</b></div><div>First, Thanks for the feedback. I was conservative with the second rounder. The consensus I've received here and in several other threads suggests a first rounder is more likely, particular if multiple teams are suitors. Now Dach for Laffy straight up would require some additional comp to the Rangers since Laffy has more upside potential. Add the 1st rounder, and I think that's got the makings of a deal. If the Habs want to give us another player, I won't object.</div></div>

Maybe the 3rd piece I proposed might be a bit much but honestly I think LaF could fetch Dach &amp; a 1st pretty easily especially from Montreal. I think the possible bidding war between a few teams could fetch that 3rd piece.
