That Ottawa trade makes no sense. Trading for a guy on a down year who is 1 year out from UFA status for 2 guys who just had career years plus a lottery pick? You have to be a Sens fan. Bufffalo strongly declines. Skinner is showing no signs of aging, Mitts was good once Jost got here. I like Debrincat but not that much

DeBrincat may want to play for Buffalo as he has a history with Granato, it is doubtful that Buffalo would give up ANY assets for him especially three pieces considering the number of prospects who will be in the NHL over the next couple of years.
The 2023 13th OA is possible more valuable than the 2022 7th OA, Casey has significantly more value than the 2022 second then add Skinner.
Ottawa could only dream of making this trade.
@NHLLGRW all three of the trades are very bad for Buffalo.
Petry has value but not at $6,250,000 for the next two years, the Penguins may need to offer a sweetener for a team to take him.
Only a handful of team could afford to take on his full contract (Sabres, Wings, Ducks and Sens).
It is more likely that the Sabres will run with 3 GK than to trade Luukkonen who had an up and down season (NHL Rookie of the Month for January) with a 17-11-4 record.
It is difficult for me to believe that even Adams would give up Olofsson for such a small return.
While the Jackets may say they do not want Victor, his 28 goals and 1.6 goals/60 would have led the entire jackets team and only Laine and Gaudrea scored faster than his 2.2 pts/60.
If the Sabres could ONLY get a late 2nd 61st OA, they should keep him on the fourth line.

Olofsson, Mittelstadt, Skinner and Luukkonen are far more Valuable then DeBrincat, Petry, and Olivier, then Buffalo loses its 2023 first round pick.
If this was Buffalo's off season it would make them a worse team and their futre much worse.

Yeah. Debrincat like I said is a UFA after next year if he really wanted to he could just tell Ottawa he has no interest in signing and then they basically have to get what they can for him. As for Olofsson he doesn’t really have a place on the roster with how many forward prospects we have already. Yes he had 28 goals but he had 26 goals for about 1 1/2. They could trade him for a 2nd and that would be fine with me bc I don’t see anyway he sees the ice if they make even 1/2 moves at forward. As for Petry I’d much rather sign one of the 4-5 vet defenseman that are better/younger than him without his cap hit. Especially for UPL the only way I’m even trading UPL is if it gets us a different young goalie the same age or younger to put in Rochester. I don’t see Adams trading UPL anyways though.

I'd rather have the <2mil/yr fourthline enforcer who fights and protects our skill guys over nearly five mill for Olofsson's empty points. Jackets pass.
