I doubt PHI move Koneckny, but probably closer if you swap out UPL for Jokiharju. PHI has Hart and Errson, both under 25, and they just drafted 2 pretty good prospects in net, and UPL isnt setting the world on fire.

Krebs, who I really like, is having a tough start to the year, so his value isnt high right now, but the offer is in the ballpark.....but I dont think PHI is looking to move Koneckny, unless they are bowled over

I think the other teams all say no. I don't think our first is going to be that late, if granato doesn't start getting a better all around game out of the Sabres soon, I expect that pick to be around 10oa. I would top 2 protect the pick in case of a lottery win, but for a piece like andersson, they would want the first to be this year's. Even at 10oa, I don't see calgary moving andersson without another big piece coming back.

Would you swap Wahlberg with someone like a Rosen?

I think the offer for rasmus is a start, but too light. But if I'm Buffalo, Im not sure a pt producing/puck rushing RD is whats missing. With Power and Dahlin and then Samuelson, thats 2 puck rushing LD and a more defensive one, whats missing is probably more of a stay at home, physical RD who can play top 4, more of a tanev then a rasmus, or if one of them play RD you're missing a top 4 stay at home, physical LD in the top 4.

We need several physical players, all over the roster, at least that's how I'd prefer to build. Philosophically, our gm has not indicated that he wants that kind of build, he's taken some half measures with stillman, Lyubushkin, and Clifton, but overall the team is lacking attention to detail defensively, and they are completely unable to lean on teams and grind out wins. Andersson seems like more of an adams move- he's right handed, he has size, and he has talent and a good two way game. And he has term. Adams seems content to not pay a premium for a physical game.
