I don't make that Buffalo trade if I'm the Hawks. Hawks give up Murphy to move up one round in the draft and gain Olaffson? How does Olaffson help move the rebuild along? No Thanks. Murphy is worth more than that. Bad deal for the Hawks.

Hawks could flip him for a first at the deadline. Give him top line minutes with Bedard and retain 50%

Have you watched Olaffson play? He's a one trick pony. Great shooter. That's it. Weak with the puck on his stick, not physical, doesn't play D.

I’m not gonna die on the hill of this trade, if it’s bad I can accept it. I do think if the hawks were to flip this pony at the deadline for a first round pick then we win the trade.

Offersheet K'andre


I'm curious if KD will want to reach out to Ryan Johnson. BUFs likely about to lose him for nothing. Not like Dahlin/Power are going anywhere. Admittedly, Our LD pipeline is really full already, but it's also hard to argue that there's another team out there with this kind of opportunity to make the NHL club. He'll have to earn it for real...nothing's given, but just looking at the LD above...yikes.

I would be down for this, I don’t know if this still applies but wouldn’t the sabers get a comp pick for not signing him?

Olofsson may be a one trick pony but it is a REALLY GOOD TRICK!
Only 16 NHL forwards score more goals/60 than Victor.
Since he is 6 years older than the new crop of forwards, he has been relegated to 3rd line duties with (waiver claim) Jost as his center.
I am not here to say Chicago should or would make this trade, only that Olofsson is greatly underrated.

As I just stated we all tend to underrate him as he has been pushed aside in favor of the youth movement.
I would certainly not trade him for only a second as many have proposed.
Targeting the right team he could return a late first from a playoff team if 50% of his salary was retained.
His 26 goals would be second among the Knights, but they would most likey say no still feeling the burn of giving up Tuch for Eichel.
MIN only Kaprizov, and CAR only Neces and Aho have more goal than he for other examples.

You shut your wh@re mouth about Olofsson, he's a Vibes guy. But truthfully I wouldn't do this trade either if I was Chicago.

I’d love to send him to Vegas and get Korczak and/or Nic Roy

Your point about the rangers and offersheets is interesting but also wrong. You can't offersheet all 3 players at once. You have to offer them one at a time. Additionally the player has to accept it.
How many players are going to want to go play in the tire fire that will be chicago?
You then have to watch as the cap goes up and the rangers will have cap space and offersheet one of your players.
