Avs decline. They can't afford Olofsson even with the retention.

I would take Joki for a 3rd if I were the Flyers

Chuck Fletcher would have traded Travis Konecny for him then signed him 5x6. I miss that guy.

Don't see either one of these trades happening. Better be a little better package than that for Olofsson with 2m retention. Rather keep Joker, he's a good insurance policy if Johnson gets hurt(which always happens) or if Clifton falters.

If not for cap, I think Colorado would counter with a 3rd but yeah as of now Avs decline

Jokiharju stays, come on. He is very serviceable, relatively young RHD, and Sabres have no better options.

Olofsson, if any, would be traded much closer to deadline. Sabres will not have Quinn available till January

If Olofsson doesn’t bring back more than that,
he simply won’t be traded

No reason to “give away” a 25+ goal scorer

You can easily get a 25+ goal scorer out of a 3rd rounder, but I understand

SOMETIMES
But there’s no reason at all for the Sabres to make a move like that
