Bjork for Zucker straight up. Pens can buyout Bjork which is much more palatable.

Edit: thought this was Zucker's last year. Probably not interested with 2 more

He's a physical monster.

If the team needs another player like Tuch, and they do, he's it.

He's about way more than points and has a much more well rounded game than Olofsson.

Hence why I said "I know he brings more to the table" and "I would LOVE to have him".

You are talking qualities, which I recognize.
I am talking $'s, and those $'s are normally highly influenced (not totally, as other factors are included) by production. His production is a 1 year wonder.

Are you happy with him at $6.5m if he regresses back to 25 pts?

I love that the USGA is telling the PGA Tour "your problem, not mine". Hopefully, the R&A and Augusta do the same.

Take Dumoulin for a year, helps with the cap, stability at 3LD and a bridge if they do draft Bichsel

Rather have him than Vinnie, for sure.

$6.0 m -$6.5m just seems a bit rich though, I know the Twins project 7 @ $6.4m; so your numbers are in ballpark. He plays alot with MacKinnon, Ratanen, Kadri, Toews, Makar...pretty, pretty good teammates

If VO is projected at 4 × $4.95 and had similar points playing through an injury with lesser teammates ... Asplund, Tage, Skinner, Mitts, Dahlin,

Idk, the extra $2 -$2.5m just seems steep to me even though he brings more to the table...his points will likely drop IMO.

So, are they paying for past performance with CO, or their protected future with BUF?
Edit: this past season's production is such an outlier for him, 2x other years.

Would LOVE to get him though.

4 x 4.95 now for olo huh (frank)face.

I'd be shocked if he went back to being a 20 point producer while playing with good players, but it sure would be a Sabres thing to do to sign him to a deal like that and then only play him on the 3rd line with replacement level players.

Buffalo reached out to the Canadians asking about the availability about a family member.

Typical Brainless Cementhead comment.
It is the most likely contract projected by the Twins.

God you are (frank)ing stupid.

Go watch the "Trial", lol.
