Tanev would be perfect for the Sabres backend but I am not sure that they would be willing to part with Ostlund to make it happen.

Can't keep all the prospects and him refusing to go to ahl isn't great.

There are only 5 west teams that could take oloffson even at that price without returning you salary.
Nsh, sjs, Ana, CHI, ari... not sure any of them want to part with futures at this point in their rebuilds on an expiring deal....
Probably more of a deadline trade, but I think Buffalo might make the playoffs this year

At the deadline they'd be acquiring like 400k against the cap, if not less. Also assumes no other moves

This late in the offseason, ya I'd assume they wouldn't trade away a player to get olofsson.

They might move a depth player for a pick which frees up cap, which again isn't really an issue since we are taking about a couple hundred thousand dollars

Again I guess that depends on which team would trade for him.. because dallas doesn't need the scoring help.

And again, I literally put "any west conf team in search of scoring."

And I'm guessing they couldn't find a trade partner for him considering they already traded lybushkin

Stars don’t have cap space or need for Olo. Dado and Duch signed cheap. Wayyyyyyy better than giving a second. Doubt you’ll get any other takers

We had 9 defensemen. Someone had to go. We likely keep olofsson with Quinn out to january

Literally put "any west conf team" one millimeter from his name.

In this case it's a 2nd 3 years from now and involves retention. If he scores again, he will get a 2nd

LITERALLY put “doubt you’ll get any other takers” 🙄

Problem is he requires good line mates to score. He’s a finisher not a player driver. GMs are starting to see stuff like that and not just look at production

I'll echo my esteemed friend @GeneralLandro and say I can certainly see Anaheim doing that.

If San Jose ever thinks about trading Sturm it will probably be next year when he has an expiring contract. More likely I think they try to extend him and keep him around a while. Wouldn't be shocked if he got an A at some point. He's fit in really well, only 28, had a good season and I think its reasonable to think he'll do it again.

"Only 28"

28 is not young in the NHL

Agreed
Why do u guys think u get for Tanev at the deadline?
Seems to me that guys like that have been getting deals like a 2nd and then another pick, like a 4th or maybe even a 3rd if he’s playing well

I suppose a late1st from a Cup Contender is even possible
That seems like something Tampa would do, for example

Strum & Henrique are 2 guys that can fill a defensive Center role that won’t have us overpaying for a guy like Backlund (@Boos)

Dvorak from MTL should also be available
And I’m sure there’s others as well

The real life Sabres aren’t looking to trade Olofsson right NOW
Maybe at the deadline, once we have Quinn back

Only reason it works on the ACGM is bc he’s acquiring other forwards to fill holes
