Why would we move Larsson when he's been playing really good for us?Yes they could. It would mean moving on from Adam Larsson and using his cap space to re-sign Dahlin. But that's a moot point as Buffalo wouldn't consider this at all.

good thing that 7th is in there to balance it outValimaki, 1st 21, 1st 23, 2nd 22, 3rd 21(higher of Edmonton and Calgary's), Ryan(3.15M) and the choice of Pelletier or Zary
Rasmus Dahlin and a 7th in 21
Broberg + Holloway is the most I would give... and that is quite a bit but I do see an upside to Dahlin in the right environment. The Oilers went through these challenges with young players and forcing them to play above their head... they had the same results as the Sabres are having.
I would fully understand the Sabres wanting to hang onto Dahlin but Broberg and Holloway are probably our two best prospects... both were selected in the front half of the first round and both have progressed better than you would expect thus far.
Holloway has to be on the table if you're talking Dahlin.
The only guys who are off the table are McDavid and Draisaitl. That's it.
We wouldn't want to. But if Dahlin was in Edmonton and his cap hit was $4M, we might be forced to. We couldn't afford to pay Dahlin his raise, re-sign Larsson, and bring in anything to fix the glaring holes on our roster (goalie, 2nd line LW).Why would we move Larsson when he's been playing really good for us?
Counter:
Jeff Skinner + Conditional 1st (if the Sabres have a good pick, or a prospect they like they keep the pick, if it's a garbage pick it goes to the Oilers) for Connor McDavid
Don't even think about asking for Eichel, Dahlin, Cozens, or Reinhart
This type of response never hits the mark it is going for.
Thinking the Sabres' 20-year-old franchise defenseman is not only available, but that he'll be traded for a pile of your garbage definitely sets up the stage for a good discussion

Dahlin is a league worst -27 and plays the second most minutes on the team... I get that he's a 1st overall pick but he has a long way to go to reach that potential he once had

In what world is the reigning Hart, Lindsay, Art Ross winner who is absolutely killing it this year the “realistic” return for Dahlin? Buffalo would know not to even ask for DraisaitlWould love to see Dahlin get out of the absolute shit show, Buffalo Sabres.
But it will realistically not be to Edmonton, since they would probably ask for Drai in return.
Going after Dahlin now, is really smart though. His value must be half of what it was in his rookie season.
Holloway/Bouchard/Yamamoto will not be a part of it, so don't even bring it up.

Broberg + 2 1st round picks?
I'd rather bank on Broberg's development and keep the picks to be honest.
I would pass on that as Oil fanBroberg + Holloway is the most I would give... and that is quite a bit but I do see an upside to Dahlin in the right environment.
