not too familiar with Leinonen, but I don't think SJ does this. Havelid is our 2nd best defensive prospect and our best RD prospect. 2nd pairing upside and I don't even think Leinonen will be a starter.

Sharks can't afford to trade this guy.

Hävelid is one of the Sharks best defensive prospect and easily their best RHD prospect. Leinonen is solid but with the Sabres having UPL, I don’t even think Leinonen will be a starter.

Salomonsson had one of the best skating techniques in the 2022 draft. He’s one of the hardest SHL d-man to get by and is easily one of the Jets better d-man prospects.
Olofsson is a solid RW. He’s a 2nd if not third line guy at best. The Jets don’t need him though with youngsters such as M.Barron, and S.Maenalanen on RW.

Dumba is way past his prime. He’s a 3rd line d-man now IMO at best. Trading H.Jokiharju, C.Mittelstadt and a 3rd is a little goofy. Yes, the Sabres are getting Foligno but why would the Sabres trade for Foligno when they need a C after trading away Mittlestadt when Foligno doesn’t even play C!

Leinonen was a second rounder in the last draft and he has been awful this year. I'm sure there's some type of potential upside because the sabres have been pretty good at drafting for the past few seasons but he's played on three different teams and hasn't cracked .900 on any of them.

Other than that the team drafting first overall selects Connor Bedard, I think that the single most likely event this summer is the Kings trading a RhD to the Sabres.
