Proposal: BUF and NJ
- Thread starter Peter Sidorkiewicz
- Start date
Samuelsson has a game that none of the other Sabres top defenders play and is locked into a tremendously valuable long-term deal.
No chance they consider this.
They have a thousand top wing prospects waiting to go to replace Olofsson…who I’m not sure actually “needs to be replaced” anyways if the Sabres are trying to get better.

Doesn’t make sense for Buffalo. Samuelsson and Byram are wildly different types of defensemen. Acquiring Byram has nothing to do with Samuelsson. The Sabres also only played Olofsson when they didn’t have any other viable choice last season. They’re absolutely not looking to replace him with a similar player. His roster spot will either go to a prospect or a more conventional bottom 6 forward they pick up this summer.
Why would Ruff want Holtz! The guy stapled him to the bench here in Jersey. Is this you punking us? Really, he's the last player Lindy would take from our squad!

No interest in trading Samuelsson,but looking at Haula's usage, he seems like a guy Lindy may want to bring with him. What's his value?
Pretty sure he has a full no trade for now and I think he probably did that because he was tired of moving teams every 6 months. Don't think Haula is going anywhere. I probably wouldn't have included him in the OP to begin with

Hoe does this help buffalo with s bunch of high frsfted winners better than holtz?
Came here to say something like this except yes Olofsson needs to and will be replaced by a younger cheaper and better option.
Agreed, and hoe does this help NJ with a bunch of high frsfted losers better than Samuelsson?

I really like Holtz from not only his draft year but watching way too many Utica games over his time there. He could make someone a nice 2nd line shot option and yeah, probably got ridden too hard by Ruff this year. But Buffalo isn't that team. They already have a potential shot option forward in Kulich, another wing option in Savoie, Rosen, Ostlund, and then it gets a bit deeper into the weeds with a guy like Neuchev who put up a real solid 2nd half to his AHL season. They're chock full of wingers.
You are f***ing cruel for suggesting Holtz go back under Lindy's grasp. Don't let the bad man near him again.

I love it and I’ll tell you why: because Lindy immediately having Holtz back is worth the laughs

Holtz played 82 games this season. He is a known Ruff favorite

You think he wouldn’t want him because he doesn’t like him
I say he would want him because he REALLY doesn’t like him.
What better way to get your new team on your side than to import a whipping boy instead of choosing one of them?
