Description

Depending on what happens this offseason, the Sabres could make a potential playoff push due to PIT/WSH/BOS falling out of the playoffs (I think PIT makes it again). A lot of new teams in the east have a chance to make the playoffs this year (BUF, DET, CBJ. Potentially even OTT, NJD, or MTL) depending what happens with the other 3 teams.

Minnesota declines easily..we don't need ld prospect in Ryan just because he's from Minnesota. Dumba decline also. Victor o is also a no for Minnesota. So 1st, late one and Casey m doesn't get you fiala

You’re giving Minny too much salary back

I’d say take out Dumba & add Talbot,
then take out Olofsson & add a different prospect maybe?

Might as well just start over from scratch. Florida's pick isn't high enough and Johnson isn't going to be the primary piece in a deal where Minnesota trades Fiala. Maybe if it was Dumba I'd consider Johnson an interesting piece just because the value would be there and it would open cap space to re-sign Fiala.

Trades I'd look hard at:
Fiala+Talbot for #9+Mittelstadt+3rd

Dumba+Talbot for #28+Mittelstadt+Johnson

Looking back at it, that Dumba trade is a little rich. The Fiala trade is spot on though.
