And if it does, the Stars are stacked.

i would do that

I never really considered Dallas as an option for Olofsson, but it actually makes some sense. Buffalo should be all over that, it's a solid return without needing to take a contract back.

LOL a Leaf's fan finds the perfect landing spot for Olofsson good job my friend.
Victor is very under rated.
Only 23 forwards scored faster than his 1.6 goals/60, and only 55 forwards scored more than his 28 goals.
Last time I checked there were 32 NHL teams with 3 players on each top line for a total of 96 top line forwards.
"adding Olofsson to their 3rd line makes it a more like a 2nd line. Marchment-Johnston-Olofsson is pretty dynamic"


I like it because he's not in the Core longterm and it opens a spot for Kulich or Rosen.
He will find an open space no matter who are his line mates as he scored a goal in each of the last two games of the season with Girgensons and Okposo as his line mates.

With the Stars already without a 1st this year and a 2025 2nd, I'm not sure Nill trades another top-62 pick. More often than not, he's really clingy with his draft picks. His 2nd Round picks have landed him Robertson, Hintz, and Stankoven in recent years. Not sure he parts with another one here. If a trade like this were to happen, it would likely be for a prospect (or two)

You do realize I it is a 2024 2nd in this deal right?

I do. I’m saying that Nill’s going to be hard pressed to trade a top-64 pick in 3 straight drafts. That’s why I don’t see him doing anything with either the 24 1st or the 24 2nd during the offseason. If he moves either pick, I’d anticipate being more at the 2023-2024 trade deadline.

I think Olofsson is a fine target, but I think Nill would be more likely to trade a prospect than a 1st or 2nd round pick at this stage.

Fair point.

But the allure of adding Olofsson should intrigue him.

If the Sabres opted the propect route, I have to say the ask would be a defenseman, which 3 would fit the bill.... Grushnikov, Kyrou or Fegeras. Even there, there is a debate to be has in adding a late pick.

Typically "a hockey trade" involves hockey players going both ways. And why is BUF retaining salary on an already cheap 28-goal scorer?

I'm seeing lots of Olofsson for a 2nd round pick deals. Give me an actual player/prospect. We have enough picks already. I'll take one of the young D-men mentioned above.
