I saw these trades.
Since there were not any comments I wanted to see what others thought of them.
IMO the Sabres would do both trades, not so sure the other teams.

There were other trades with Ottawa taking Ristolainen or Montour, maybe Buffalo needs to add a pick or a prospect, which would be fine.

STL makes this trade to free up $4,000,000 by trading Bozak and bring back a GK who performed well for them.
After getting Hutton they can move Allen and save another $4,000,000 with the intention to sign Pietrangelo.

Buffalo's 2nd line is significantly better.
Moving Johansson to the 3rd line and adding Bozak upgrades the 3rd line by even a greater degree.

I know many are not counting on Thompson but I have him on the 3rd, so even a 30 pt year would be satisfactory (BTW Buffalo only had 6 30 pt players last year and 2 of them were defensemen).

Maybe some of the salaries could be different. But remember Olofsson, Reinhart, Pilut, Kahun are all RFA and Buffalo could offer much less and still retain their rights.

Have fun with your comments. Please be constructive and remember both of the trades were recommended by and Ottawa or St. Louis fan. Finally, if you think Buffalo would need to add please provide reasonable suggestions.
