What? a first plus for Olofsson? Give me a good reason why they don't take that.

I think they take that and build a statue of Treliving in the middle of Buffalo

If im Buffalo, im taking that and running

Yikes....two big overpayments for Carolina and then the Leafs in that Buffalo trade

Olofsson is 25+ goal scorer
U guys are acting like he’s a 4th liner we should just wanna dump

When it was crunch time this year, he was a 5th liner

Every team in the league should want a “5th liner” who scores 25+ goals

Well we have been trying to trade him for a while so I guess that's not true

Speculation

Bruins accept

Bruins accept

Bruins probably don't hesitate on this trade. Boston is cap compliant now though so this is probably closer to what a trade looks like than it did a month ago. Still looks like a bit of an overpay.

Absolute overpay, and I like Forbort and I'm a Bs fan. Don Sweeney accepts, changes his phone number so he can't be tracked, moves into the mountains and retires.

Relax everyone, it really is not that bad of a trade.
You do know over the last four seasons Boeser has played 583:45 more minutes than Olofsson but has one less goal (80 v Olofsson's 81).
Two seasons since they both signed new contracts each Boeser goal cost $309,302 while each Olofsson goal cost $197,917.
Last season Brock played over 60% of the time with one of Miller, Horvat or Petterson as his line mate.
Last season Victor played about 10% of the time with our top two centers Cozens or Thompson.
No one would wail nor gnash their teeth if the trade was for Boeser.

Last season he had more goals than DeBrincat yet he played 483 fewer minutes.
Finally, only 22 NHL forwards scored at a faster rate than victor's 1.6 goals/60 last year.
This is not to say Victor is better or even as good as Alex, just making the point that he is a very good sniper.

Too many Sabre fans try to give him away just as Leaf fans give away Brodie.
The Leaf fans to make cap space, Sabre fans to make roster space for Kulich, Savoie, Ostlund, Bensen etc.
Neither fans are looking at the value each bring to the ice.

On to the trade.
If John Tavares could make Matt Moulson score 97 goals over a 3 year period, Victor would certainly get over 100.
It would then be the Leafs "building a statue of Treliving" outside of Scotiabank Arena.

Keep Lemieux in the trade to balance the roster, he may be useful on the fourth line or in Rochester.
Drop all of the picks other than the first and increase Buffalo's retention to 50% or $2,375,000 and it should be a fair trade for both parties.
