    ## Victor Olofsson

    Victor Olofsson has been a logical trade candidate all offseason from Buffalo’s perspective. He was a healthy scratch in some of the Sabres’ most important games down the stretch, and moving him off the roster could create opportunity for Buffalo’s prospects.

    ## Henri Jokiharju

    Buffalo’s defensive surplus makes Henri Jokiharju expendable. Of the Sabres’ extra defensemen, Jokiharju would be most appealing to other NHL teams. He’s a right shot, just turned 24 years old and has a reasonable $2.5 million cap hit.

    ## Eric Comrie or Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen

    All indications are that the Sabres believe Devon Levi is ready for the NHL. That means they have three NHL goalies on their roster heading into training camp. After juggling three goalies for a long stretch of last season and finishing the season with four goalies, having two on the roster to start the season is preferable.

    ## Ilya Lyubushkin

    Ilya Lyubushkin has one season left on his contract at a $2.75 million cap hit. The additions of Clifton and Johnson have created a surplus of right-shot defensemen for the Sabres

    ## Jacob Bryson

    Jacob Bryson is now 25, has a $1.85 million cap hit and played to a minus-24 rating a year ago. That combination doesn’t make him the most attractive trade trip.

    ## Riley Stillman

    The Sabres acquired Riley Stillman at the trade deadline for mid-level prospect Josh Bloom. Stillman didn’t do anything to dramatically improve his trade value in the final few months of the season, but he was a useful player at times for Buffalo.

    Except for Jokiharju all those skaters would clear waivers for the AHL, so I dunno why moved means traded

  3. Olofsson is not getting traded, no matter how much people would celebrate it happening.

    Quinn’s injury only cemented that.

    I really loved Lybushkin when he was healthy last season.

    Still also suprised me with his physicality

    As a Ducks fan, what would be the return for Olofsson?
