Trades

BUF

Peeke, Andrew
2023 2nd round pick (CBJ)
2023 3rd round pick (CBJ)

Additional Details:

Buffalo gets a upgrades at RHD and more darts for the draft board.

CBJ

Additional Details:

Columbus gets a #2 center and depth LHD

BUF

Murray, Matt
2023 1st round pick (BOS)

Additional Details:

Buffalo pays to add another dart for the draft board. The first is late in the round and has the value of an early 2nd.

TOR

Olofsson, Victor ($2,375,000 retained)
2023 3rd round pick (CBJ)

Additional Details:

John Tavares could get a chair to score 20 goals, he will do significantly more for Victor Olofsson.
Olofsson could never replace Nylander, but he could replace his goal production. Toronto could trade Nylander to fill other holes in the line up.
The third is nearly a second.

BUF

Buffalo can use its draft capital to move up in the draft.
For example:
13th plus 34th could get the 7th or
13th plus 39th could get the 8th or
13th plus 45th could get the 9th

28th plus 34th could get the 16th or
28th plus 39th could get the 17th or
28th plus 45th could get the 19th or

Finally, bundle together the three second round picks may move them up to the 15th OA giving Buffalo three first round picks, 13th, 15th and 28th.

Probably no trades and Buffalo would have the 13th, 39th and 45th.

Savoie isn’t going to play for the Sabres this season. Kulich is a maybe it depends on what they do on July 1st. Mittelstadt is getting an extension this summer. And they don’t want another bad goalie in Murray they already have 2 signed for this year.

Buffalo passes on Murray. Murray is not the same goaltender he was six to seven years ago.
