This could be their forward group next year.

Skinner Mittelstadt Quinn/Tuch
Asplund Thompson Olofsson
Cozens Krebs Peterka
Bjork Zemgus Okposo

That would cost a total of $35M for 13 forwards.

This is kind of the reason I think Olo is on his way out. After one of Cozens or Mitts moves to wing, there's a bottleneck. Personally, I think Peterka and Quinn will both be ready to go next year too. If that's the case, either Olo or Tuch probably gets dealt, I'm guessing after the "hometown reunion" with Tuch, it won't be him.

Yes, you, 36 and I have been staunch on that for a year or more (2-1/2 for me)

Still think Kelly and Kevin have a open line for about a month or 2 when they need cap help. Theodore is my guess.

1. Olofsson is moving toward the goal-scoring elite
Victor Olofsson put up five goals in eight games before getting hurt. Only one of those goals came with the man advantage, helping the 26-year-old winger slide away from his reputation as a one-dimensional, power-play specialist.

Olofsson ranks 23rd in the NHL in goals per 60 minutes at 1.72. Entering Tuesday’s schedule, he was ahead of star forwards Anze Kopitar (1.66), John Tavares (1.55), Aleksander Barkov (1.53) and Jake Guentzel (1.48).

Olo for Theodore at the TDL

Just hit again in that article with Patrick being the coach of the Ice. The first thought when I read his name, we could use a guy like that on the ice. The second thought was, there is a Steve Patrick?

I think River said it in a recent clip I watched. Tuch is probably your captain next year. Gerbe has already made mention of Olo being moved. Was almost sent before the injury.

I’m not a huge fan of sending talent out. But if he isn’t in Adams plans, oh well. Trust the process, right?

Blasphemy

Olo for Theodore at the TDL
- Buff36

I'm listening

Sabres need to find that partner for Dahlin, if we want to see the Dahlin we all are hoping for. The kid is bad at defense, go and get that defensive responsible partner that will let Dahlin just play and not have to think as much. I don't think that player is Power.

Pysyk is heady and responsible. I can't think of a better player for him on this roster. I'd love to see a big sample of him with Samuelsson in the next 12 months.

I can get behind this idea, not the long term solution but for now it works. I was so pissed at Kruger for sticking Miller with him and it didnt work

- TheSabresTaco

Well Adams is got to think about his RFA status, and are you going long term with Olofsson. If not think it's a decent trade, I would even hold 50% on Olofsson. Gives Vegas a good piece and 4mill in cap space and gives us a D partner for Dahlin locked up for 3 or 4 more years.

And to add, 89 said all along that no trade with Vegas will happen without Krebs.

I doubt they do it but I like it. Olofsson's really building his value. Pulling more offensive talent away from this team, though, makes me a sad boy.

I don't think it's good either, but can't block a youngin if he's ready plus because the contract status. And I think Vegas would move Theodore, they signed 1 and extended 1 D man, plus they have Korczak. Theodore doesn't have any clauses and is a 5.2m cap hit. Actually a pretty good trade for both teams. Gives Jack a familiar face, plus Smith is a FA next year.

I guess thats the thing do you trade him cause his value is building?

Not necessarily, what I meant was, last year we don't even make that proposal because it's laughably bad. This year? Maybe not.

Or you keep olofsson, because he hasn't peaked yet.


Just because gerbe said they may trade olo, doesnt mean its happens or makes sense.

Seems like olo and asplund are leading this team moving forward. Why break them up too?

You trade Bjork for a spare part before you trade Olofsson, I think.

Who would have thought goaloffson would be a complete player and not just a pp specialist?

🤔

Not you 🌮

I can go with either side of the trade no trade. Im sure there are a bunch of people who still think his two way game is terrible when it has improved. Id definitely trade last years olo, this year i could go either way his value is highest now than later...... hes going to get paid after the year so you/any other team needs to know what they are getting.

Comes down to me what is KA picture of the roster both with players and coach. Id eb jsut as happy him on this team or getting some picks or prospects.

You trade Bjork for a spare part before you trade Olofsson, I think.
- TheSabresTaco

Totally agree! Just going of Gerbe's

Im surprised that ive liked Vinny over Bjork

I agree, just going of what Gerbe's said, and if you are gonna trade him, might as well see if you could get Dahlins partner for the next 4yrs
