Quoting: Sabres_Insider
Don’t feel comfortable trading Jokiharju because our right side will be depleated
Quoting: rktkt66
Buffalo says no to the swap for Boeser unless Vancouver takes Bryson instead of Jokiharju and Boeser's extension is agreed to before the trade...
IMO we are under estimating the value of Olofsson.
Victor will have a big year in 2022-23 outscoring Brock by 5 goals at 75% the cap hit.
IDK why Buffalo is circulating rumors that he will be traded, he and Jeff give Buffalo two top 6 LW.
https://dobberhockey.com/2022/05/24/free-agency-2022-salary-projections-for-the-top-150-free-agents/ has his projected salary at $3,885,900,
Cap Friendly https://www.capfriendly.com/qualifying-offer-calculator/brock-boeser has Brock's QO at $7,500,000
I liked him from the first time I saw him compete in the prospect challenge with how quickly he could release his wrist shot.
He is more than a PP specialist.
While that may have been true his first two years only 7 of his 20 goals came on the PP this year.
Brock on the other hand has 11 PP goals of his 24 this year.
Because of the salary premium I need to pay Brock, I would not do a one for one at this time.
Let me add, Quinn will outscore both of them in two years, let me keep Victor and build a team to compete in two years.
