Asplund and Olofsson are the two best players in that Sabres deal.
The analytics department would chain themselves to key bank centre or w/e its called now before letting Asplund go for spare parts.
If Buffalo is taking Jason Zucker. and there would probably need to be a third team involved because Zucker probably declines to go to Buffalo, then Pittsburgh is likely paying to make to that happen because a Zucker to Buffalo deal would essentially be his salary to Buffalo and then Buffalo retaining half to trade him elsewhere. So yes, zero chance Olafsson or Asplund is in the deal
lying does require extra creativity. Fat chance they believe any of what they wrote, some snake oil/used car salesman stuff going on in the description lol
