I suppose you gotta pay up. Those trades hurt

I know, but this website is littered with trades where the sabres only trade olofsson, rosen, ostlund, and bryson. Feels like if we end up with a really good NHLer it is going to hurt a little

I see where your heads at with your thinking but that seems like a A LOT for Terry. But, what do i know?

I see Buffalo/CGY more interested in a swap for Hanifin than Tanev, though your proposal isn't that bad.

Some team might give you a 3rd for Olafsson half retained but it won't be the Hawks

I don't see buffalo trading prime pieces for a forward. I like the tanev idea, but I think you are overpaying. I think the cost is a second and either a third or a prospect in a tier below Krebs. I don't agree with your assessment that ostlund and rosen are just some guys that we wanna give up. That's two recent mid first round picks, that are both playing well and developing as expected. I think with message boards like this, other teams fans become fixated on the TOP prospect a team has, and everything else is garbage, when the truth is- the third and fourth ranked prospects on different teams are not at all equal.

Agree with all highlighted areas.
Fun facts:
Over the past four seasons Boeser has scored 80 goals while playing in 258 games.
The Sabres' Victor Olofsson has played in 257 games over the past four seasons and has 81 goals yet he is only valued as a third while his salary is nearly $2,000,000 lower than Brock's.
Let me add, over that same perios Brock has scored 1.013 goals/60 while Olofsson has scored every 1.171/60
Most ACGM's think Boeser is worth a first yet Olofsson is trash?

Olofsson is DeBrincat LITE, in fact Olofsson outscored DeBrincat 28 to 27 last year.
A '24 third with 50% retention is significantly below his value.

Oh BTW Victor also outscored Troy last year 28 to 23.
And Troy played 274 NHL games with 75 career goals.
Lastly Troy will be looking for a bigger payday and is only 21 months younger than Victor.

Not going to get you Terry, who is not even available

Verbeek doesn’t answer calls from Buffalo either since you didn’t even include your 23 1st

Most of us project him at $7 million or more for 6 seasons.

Terry plays a very complete 2 way game whereas Olafsson is a one dimensional goal scorer. That's why he was among the teams best +/- despite the team giving up a record number of goals against.

Always good to hear your POV.
At $7,000,000 as good as Savoie is projected to be, this offer would not get Terry.

I guess I muddled my POV when I said Olofsson outscored Terry last year and should not have mentioned him in my Olofsson rant.
I just do not see why Olofsson is valued so low by other ACGM's both Sabre fans and non Sabre fans.
As a two way player, I guess this may not be enough for Terry.

We do appreciate you going to the effort to put together a meaningful trade, it's rare on this site.

However, we're not likely to move Terry. For one, were extremely light at RW. Secondly, we will need veterans when our cup window opens, it may as well be a guy we developed internally who took a bit of a team friendly discount. Moving him for futures just gives us the opportunity to draft someone like him, it just doesn't make sense for us.
