Because I don’t think that far ahead. Lol. And jack and Olo in the playoffs would be dangerous.
- Gr8daygo


The Vegas defense core would be dangerous as well without Theodore, and not in a good way.

Play the game we saw unroll for 8 monrhs...
JJ is off limits
Quinn is off limits
Samuelsson is off limits
Johnson is off limits
Levi is off limits
Portillo is off limits
UPL is off limits
Any 1st is off limits

Where else, who else will be prepared to absorb the kind of Cap they need to bring back their #1C while their Window is beginning to close?

- IonSabres


They would give Reilly Smith away for free before trading Theodore for a return of Hagg and a 2nd.

That offer is a joke.

They have young defensemen ready to play the 24 minutes a night he does in all situations?

They don't.

Olofsson is insurance for this season, but you left out what his new deal would mean beyond this season.

- kingcong39

Understand that to about Olofsson, but that could also turn into a asset for them to, he's still a RFA.

Starting to sound like Ranger fans trying to acquire for Jack Eichel.

Vegas should probably eat celery to in the deal.....

You're now turning a trade for Theodore into 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon from a Vegas perspective, which should be a hint at how unlikely it would be.

Still have Johnson coming to.
- Buff36


Gotta give to get.

Dahlin, Power, Samuelson, Johnson on the left still creates a logjam, one they can deal with for a season or two beyond this year obviously.
Sacrificing Bryson will be tough, but with that pipeline the Sabres can absorb it.

It's quite possible that 1 or 2 of the 4 bolded above can play the right side, like Theodore can.

Tough one, but no.

I would if Theodore was 2 years younger and had another year on his deal.

IF Vegas came back and asked for their first and Samuelson for Theodore, i do that every day and twice on Sundays.

Vegas would have teams lining up for Theodore.

Haag and a 2nd aint cutting it, and its not even close.

Thats crazy to me.

Theodore is a top 10 D-man in the NHL.

While Peterka is an exciting prospect, i don't think he brings the value Theodore does.

That's the thing him and Smith have no clauses. I still think Theodore was supposed to be in that Eichel trade, Vegas made the necessary moves to make it happen, but Whitecloud got hurt, and find it interesting what Gerbe's said about Olofsson and with him being hurt at that time to.

maybe there is a deal in place for when vegas needs the cap space, lets them keep theodore for now

Hank, great job. You always have an interesting topic to keep things fresh.

Big time against the Bruins tonight. No need to speak about how much the Bruins have owned us the last several years, but no doubt a win against the Bs would be worth more than the two tangible points.

Someone take out Weaselface early. He owns us every time.

They needed bodies at the time and Olofsson wouldn't have helped yet.
