Old news. Rangers aren't interested in his QO.

Ducks should be in on him

Old news. Rangers aren't interested in his QO.

Has that been reported? Legit question.

Arbitration shouldn't preclude a team from valuing an RFA for short-term contributions. The Flyers acquired Mrazek as a defacto rental a few years back, for example.

I think Staple mentioned it. I'll see if I can find it.

Edit: It might have been from Friedman's 32 thoughts, which the linked article references, but I thought I read something specifically relating to the QO.

32 Thoughts: Could the Predators trade Filip Forsberg?

I do think the Rangers looked at Buffalo’s Victor Olofsson. However, he is a restricted free agent with arbitration rights, and I don’t believe New York can handle next season’s projected number.

I'm thinking the cost for Olofsson will be prohibitive as a pure rental.

Fact?

I read a few days ago Rangers scouts have been seen at concurrent Sabers games.

They said the same thing about Bennett with Florida.

 

[Weltschmerz]

Not sure how this makes sense with the Rangers cap situation next season. Sabres won't give him away cheap.

 

[SundherDome]

Nah, Rangers are not a good fit. We will keep him

 

[Scoresberg]

Curious, what is the price for Olofsson?

Curious, what is the price for Olofsson?

Seeing as he's an rfa a young RHD, or a 2nd + but it makes no sense to trade him unless he tells Adams he's only interested in a 1yr deal to take him to UFA

 

[Fjordy]

Curious, what is the price for Olofsson?

We need RDs, also a futures deal or a one-on-one deal, something like a change of scenery.

Tolvanen, Kunin and Myers all available from our side.

Young RHD that we can pencil in next to Dahlin/Power or I keep Olofsson. I have absolutely no idea why ~1/4 of our fanbase is itching to give away a good young player (and a guy who looked like our best forward before getting injured this season).

 

[Fjordy]

Carrier unavailable?

 

[Scoresberg]

Carrier unavailable?

I would think so. Fabbro and Carrier are most likely going to be the two RHD's in the top-four for the foreseeable future.

Personally, I'm not as high on Carrier as the rest of the fanbase, but can definitely see the potential brewing. Wouldn't trade him (at least not yet).

Understandable.

 

[TGWL]

I'm not really sure where he fills the line-up. Rangers struggled with 5 on 5 scoring, but Olofsson has 5 even strength goals this season so I'm not sure how much that's going to help unless he's pushed to play with Strome and Panarin on the right side with an increased role.

 

[flashsabre]

From the Sabres end Braeden Schneider should be the ask. Young RHD that could slide beside Power for the long term.

It was mentioned earlier in the season that Rangers had inquired.

buffalo isn’t trading him for secondary pieces.

he has 1 yr before being a UFA.

he’s playing injured this year which affects his slap shot but he can do other things.

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

Immediately no.

Pretty close. Not sure why Sabres trade Oloffson for less

 

[Lays]

Rangers interested in literally everyone apparently. No joke for every player available it’s always the Rangers listed in the top 3 of teams interested. How many of these rumors have just been the players agent or team pumping the Rangers have inquired to boost the players stock?

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

I would assume it's for a bunch of conditional 7th rounders

 

[FlameChampion]

Rangers are the new Vegas. They are interested in everyone.
