Quoting: Untuxed
None of the trades are bad but I do not know if Buffalo would do them, GMKA seems pretty happy to roll with what they have. Maybe the trade with the Flyers would happen but I would wait until the Hockey Canada investigation files its report. Would suck to get Hart just to have him get suspended.
Definitely like the Tatar addition, but he may sign for much less, maybe half but certainly $3,000,000 should do it.
So Buffalo wants Laughton and Hart:
Please compare Hart and Luukkonen over the past three years:
Hart 0.900 SV% 44 W 58 L 4 T
Luukkonen 0.898 SV% 20 W 19 L 0 T
Over the last 198 games Laughton has 93 pts with 38 gaols, Casey Mittlestadt had 100 pt and 31 goals over his last 163 games.
IMO Buffalo would rather keep Jokiharju, Olofsson, Östlund, and the 2024 1st round pick as Laughton is not needed with Tatar and Olofsson and Hart is not an upgrade over UPL.
