The isles don’t really need Oloffson with Wahlstrom and Palmieri as the main shooters on the PP. That’s a significant overpay.

hopefully they will at the TDL.

Isles are laughing at that proposal.

I dont want to move olofsson, he has produced at every level, and eichel and reinhart werent there with him. If this is the return, id probably do it, time-line and all that, but theres no good reason to move him for less.

Rangers laugh & hang up

Isles say no

A likely workable counteroffer would be Olofsson for Komorov, the Isles 1st, and some kind of conditional 3rd that's added in the event Olofsson puts up 20 goals or something like that.

Buffalo declines the Rangers trade both due to who it is and the retention

Lol Buffalo retaining 2.5 for 5 years and you still don't like that? You think he'll cost Jones + Chytil + a third?

No but they aren’t getting kakko, Lundkvist , Chytil, Barron AND a first.

If kakko is included with Lundkvist and a 1st alone Buffalo would have to retain for the rangers to consider it.
If you are throwing in Chytil and Barron too, rangers laugh.

It’ll cost more than Chytil Jones and a 3rd. But you are on the complete other spectrum.

Chytil+Lundkvist+Jones+1st will likely be around where they land (without retention).

If rangers want retention then yes a higher asset will be needed (kravtsov over jones or kakko over Chytil)

I really don’t want them to trade Lundkvist as he is a complete stud, but with fox and Trouba the next five years he is a luxury (especially with Schneider behind him).
