Thread: Minnesota
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>C21</b></div><div>Olofsson's NHL career has been that of a one-way, complimentary PP piece. He'd be a nice complement but he isn't necessary, nor his he pushing this team over the top or worth this much. Especially with how much more valuable Middleton is to Minnesota than he is on the trade market

And for further reasoning as to why Minnesota would not do this, please look at Minnesota's LHW core and prospect pool. Olofsson is a cool player to have on your team, but he's extremely surplus to requirements in the grand scheme</div></div>

Agree with mostly everything your saying but the narrative of olofsson being simply PP piece is very outdated. He is a scorer both at 5v5 and PP.
He is subpar defensively and is not a play driver. But he does produce at 5v5.

That is all carry on

Thread: Could Dahlin work--
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tintin</b></div><div>Disagree, I love Dahlin but Sabres would have to add substantially here.
Also, didn't realize Miller was just signed by the Stars (and that he spent the previous three season in Buffalo lmao).</div></div>

Mm I don't know. Your argument earlier was JRob was an emerging top 10 winger entering his prime. I would argue Dahlin is an emerging top 10 Dman entering his prime.

I think the frame work for the trade is right there young elite offensive guy for young elite defensive guy.

It breaks down tho because sabres can only add to their talent right now. They are not in a position to be subtracting.
So in order to make a trade to get a JRob it would have to be for future pieces.
On the other side, I don't think Dallas is in a position to be offloading talent without direct replacements.
So I don't think this trade is really ever going to happen unless Dallas decides to rebuild

Thread: Playoff Push
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Luguber</b></div><div>Would you be so kind to give a comparable to this situation? Where a team trades away their starting goalie, who's arguably still a top 10 goalie in his prime, with 2 years left on his contract.
And the team in question doesn't have another really good goalie prospect waiting for his shot, nor do they acquire a replacement goalie in the trade.</div></div>

Answering a question with a question.
Taking one comparable and forcing it into a finer detailed situation.

Your idea is fine. But there has never ever been a goaltender traded for that much, in any scenario.

Does that mean it would never happen ... idk. Sure there are some variables on WPG to be considered. But to say that the trade is ridiculously under priced is wild. When it would be the biggest trade for a goalie ever.
