Leafs decline

MTL decline, they ain’t trading up to take a worse prospect than Michkov unless his name is Adam Fantilli

You're either really overvaluing Barabanov to the Sabres, or thinking they need to trade Olofsson. Buffalo has no real need for a middle 6 winger as they have a ton of them already, and scoring wasn't an issue for them last year. Maybe a contending team with no cap space would pay a decent price for Barabanov, but Buffalo I can assure you wouldn't.

HABS accept to Draft Smith instead of Michkov. Hughes coached Smith with the Boston Junior Eagles

What's Buffalo getting in value from that trade?

I'm gonna have to disagree, especially with the newest reports about teams seeing and talking to Michkov in Russia

Why is buffalo trading 13overall for nothing

Dude, you can’t trust anything you see on Twitter
No one know ****

it's from Friedman, the source I trust the most

Take out the first and Buffalo may still say no.
Just because Sabre fans think Olofsson will be traded for cheap, does not make it a fact.
Two years ago all Sabre fans thought they would need to pay to move Ristolainen, he returned more than Reinhart!

He has a quick release and an accurate shot aiming for the corners and not the goalies crest.
He has finally shed that PP specialist label as only 4 of his 28 goals were on the PP last year.
ONLY 17 NHL forwards scored faster than his 1.6 goals/60 or had more EV goals and only 55 forwards scored more than his 28 goals.
Those are not AWFUL stats, they are AWESOME, elite status, top line production.

He played most of the season with forwards who were not noted for their defense, put him on a line with two way forwards and he will find the empty spaces to score goals.
