I'm sure we could work something out. But CHI probably declines that deal. Also, all of that for one year of Hart seems like way too much, and I doubt Olofsson or Lyubushkin bring back 2nds, but if they could that would certainly be great for BUF.

I think you did a really good job on this AGM

If the Caps want to contend still, Olofsson at half price would be great for the third line/second PP.

Lyubushkin struggled in BUF, he showed success in TOR so at the price I think SEA takes a chance

The hart deal favors PHI a little and CHI deal slightly favors BUF. It is basically impossible to line up perfect value on deals like those

Hart is a RFA so we have his rights. So we could resign him or trade his rights

The Capitals are not going to trade one of the lowest picks in the 2nd Rd (40th Overall) for Viktor Olofsson at any Cap Hit as he is essentially a rental and an UFA after next season. That’s a NO.

Sure. But BUF would be lucky to recoup as much as they are giving up there, let alone make a profit. They could do better bolstering another part of their roster with those assets, and either let UPL and Levi split time or trade UPL elsewhere and snag a free agent to hold things down while Levi establishes himself.
