    What would be the ask for these two? Buffalo needs to add physicality and both of these guys fit that bill.

    Kind of weird situation, not worth a lot, but worth a lot to Vegas, they like to collect these guys, physical but athletic enough to stay in lineup. Cheap too, so they can give the top of the lineup guys a bigger cut of cap.

    Korczak may be made avaiable but I don't think Kolesar will. I think Vegas is significantly more likely to trade Roy

    You may be right about that, but I don’t know if he fits Buffalo’s needs as well as others think. Kolesar specifically is exactly the kind of player I think Buffalo needs more. While Vegas is not likely to miss the playoffs next season unless they have to blow up the roster due to the salary cap, they probably don’t have much reason to want to trade him.

    Vegas probably has a 3 year run including this year, then I could see some wild moves to try to retool ultra fast, ex junior coach/gm/owner running the team, so I bet he will have some interesting selling coming in a couple seasons to get young again.

    He may not but he would probably be a better fit for 3C than Krebs. Roy at 3M is kind of overkill for Vegas' 4th line center. Also wasn't the idea of bringing in Greenway to be that player you are describing for Kolesar?
