So, let's look at the Buffalo Sabres roster and see how Pesce's name is being linked to trade rumors. Not hard to figure the first name that pops up:

Yeah, I'd take Victor Olofsson. In his 4 full seasons with the Sabres, he's put up 42, 32, 49 and 40 points. Don't know is this is the rumor, but Pesce is considered a top 15 defender in the league and Olofsson is a UFA after this coming season. A little strange given the Sabres have enough cap space to extend him now, but nothing has happened?

I’d want Peterka, he’s a young roster player with a good amount of potential. If we’re trading Pesce then I want someone coming back with term because I assume that if dealt, Pesce will be going to a team that he’ll extend with. An extended Pesce is worth a player with term.

LMAO. That contract could be brutal in just two years time. Guys that play like Wilson just don’t last until they are 37.

feels like the Dwill/CJ contracts for Hurney where we outbid ourselves. Wilson's contract was 5.2 AAV---who were they bidding against to give him that kind of raise at that term? absolutely nuts.

 

I'd take Tuch from the Sabres too.

Tuch would be my preference, not sure they’d trade him though.

Tuch is under contract for another 3 years with a NTC. Wasn't he wearing an "A" last season?

The reason I brought up Olofsson is because he hasn't been extended and Buffalo obviously has the money to do it. So, without a NTC, Buffalo's need for a top 4 blue-liner to likely replace a 35-year old Erik Johnson, and Buffalo needs to send a couple guys down as they're over the roster limit. The Sabres have 24 guys on the roster and still have over $6M in cap space.

No doubt in my mind the Canes would extend Olofsson.
