With more teams dropping out of the Eichel sweepstakes Im a lot more hesitant to move Tkachuk for him now.

The Olofsson is a though one. I don't hate it. But in the end I think it'd be a bit of an overpay by the Oilers. Olofsson hasn't proven yet that he is a legit and consistant top 6 player. So I wouln't give up a promising young forward in Lavoie (who obviously could also be a bust/not make it) AND a 1st. Either Lavoie and a lower pick or the 1st and a less promising prospect.

Are you sure you want to make that Jets trade?

I feel like picking up a one dimensional winger is the last thing the Oilers need.

That's a more straight up version of what I was trying to say. If he proves that he's not as one dimensional as we think I'd be more willing to pay something for him if I was Ken Holland.

Yeah, I mean, as of right now he's just a younger version of James Neal. Solid producer on the PP, but other than that, buyer beware.

Not even close on the Oilers trade. Olofsson only scores on the PP (he's replacement level at 5v5) and he's not good enough to get on the Oilers PP. So he's completely useless to Edmonton. Your ask is laughable.

I'm sending the Jets more talent in return for size - my basic plan is to increase the physicality of the Sabres knowing the team will probably finish near the bottom then grab offensive talent in the 2022 and 2023 draft - Sabre fans want to win but they also are sick of seeing their team push around and be out hit.
