Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but why would you make that swap with the Pens? Don't get me wrong, the Pens say yes every day of the week and twice on Sunday, but I'm trying to see the advantage for BUF.

I mean for sure I'll take that, but I think ppl don't realize Kap still has value. He forechecks, has speed, and is younger. He still positively impacts possession when on the ice. So if a team wants him, they'll still give up value, pens probably add here, but it's hard to gauge how much.

Kapanen is good yet frustrating player to watch. He's still on pace for mid 40's in points which is nothing to scoff at, but he's just not a fit on this team's system. I definitely agree he has value, although people on this board would disagree, but I'm just more curious why BUF would want to move Olofsson. I don't watch a ton of Buffalo games, but from what I do watch he's a heck of a player.

For sure is a good player. Maybe it could happen cause Kap will need a cheaper contract and Olofssen is more a support guy, alla Rust, than star?

hawks pass. Maybe if that 1st was gonna be higher than like 28-32

So far, Vegas pick is #21, but I can't say what it will be after the playoffs are over.

Vegas is better than 21 and we all know that. In my opinion the 2nd best team in the west and on paper the best team once they get Eichel in the mix. I full expect Vegas in the WCf but maybe that's just me

A change of scenery, I think Kapanen is better suited to play in the Granato system than Olofsson. We need more speed and effort and Kapanen is a more physical player than Olofsson.

Everything Fjordy said.
As I write this Buffalo has Tuch and Okposo at RW who seem to be able score (Quinn, Hinostroza and Peterka all also appear to be capable but two are unknowns and Vinnie is a UFA).
Buffalo has Skinner, Girgensons, Asplund and possibly Bjork who have proven they can score when playing among the top 6.
Kapanen would fit right into Granato's stretch pass system.
While I have not watched him play much for Pittsburgh he was great when he PKed for the Leafs.
So if Penguin fans want to move him, I as a Sabre fan think he would fit in perfectly.
