I typically like your posts,
but I’m failing to see the point of this one….

Just as the title suggests, the Sabres can not afford Keller's and Gibson's cap hit this year.
If the Sabres were to give away Olofsson, his AVV would still be replaced by an ELC, which does little to making them affordable.
With Dahlin and Power scheduled for nice raises, they cannot afford them next year either.

To be more blunt, I am mocking the the people who have the Sabres trading for them.

Gibson > Lukkonen only slightly though.

Keller > Quinn.

Let's have some fun with this, say since Greenway is in the Press Box why not send him with UPL, basically gives you the money for this year.
Next year becomes a bit tougher. Would need to move Mitts and Joker. Jost, Girgensons,Okposo, Johnson would need to be gone, that's your Dahlin extension. Yeah it would be very tough next year. Especially with Power to.

Gotcha
Although, there are ways to potentially fit them
For example:
could be as simple as including Olofsson in 1 of the trades & just getting ARZ or ANA to hold a couple mil in salary

I fully get your point though
And I agree it’s unlikely we make ANY big moves before camp starts
