NMC

Description

- When healthy
- I want to see Power not be forced into top pair minutes, let him develop
- I like the forward lines so just throw in Asplund up to 3LW
- Gregor/Vinnie are exchangeable for now, Vinnie could be a really solid TDL flip too
- I want to see Krebs play his natural position of LW
- Asplud can go anywhere
- Just an idea so relax
- This deal lines up well with a lot of the other deals like Skinner; Levi and Power will be getting their deals then and Buffalo needs to start spending money eventually

Trades

BUF

Gregor, Noah
Karlsson, Erik ($3,750,000 retained)

Additional Details:

EK is really good but has a high AAV. This trade sheds just under 8 mil and gets rid of the back end woes for the Sharks. It also gets Buffalo a true #1 RD who will be the 3rd best defenseman. This is all contingent on EK waiving his NMC

SJS

Lyubushkin, Ilya
Olofsson, Victor
2023 2nd round pick (PHI)
2024 1st round pick (BUF)

If the Sabres are out of the playoff contention comes TDL, what would Okposo trade value be?

Sorry for potential dumb question, but is Okposo a guy who wins board battles and does the "grind" during a game or is he more of a "skill" guy?

Erik Karlsson is #1 in goals and points for Defensemen this year, no one who is 8 mil or less could match his production so what’s the point for the sharks here? and the return ins that great.
