Perhaps this is true with Buffalo, But it might not be the case with the Rangers for those players. Why would the Rangers even need Henri when they've Fox, Trouba and Schneider on the rightside. Olofsson would be a 3rd liner with the Rangers not top 6 like Buffalo. like i said this makes no sense for New York.

Olofsson is better than kakko come on. Don’t embarrass yourself

Once Drury stops laughing, he says NO THANKS and hangs up. Schneider and Laffy are both unavailable for trade and not interested in trading Goodrow.

So you are comparing Dahlin and Power to Lafreniere and Schneider in term on untouchable assets ?
First, I am so happy that every one thinks that is not enough going to the Rangers, as a Buffalo fan they should not be making this trade.
Second, Eichel has not played one game for the Sabres this year, yet Olofsson had 18 goals, and only 17 NHL wingers (left or right) have more goals than that. That is top line quality my friends, playing third line minutes.
Third, Olofsson over the past three years has only 19 fewer goals than Lafrenière has POINTS.
Olofsson is not a top 6 winger this year playing only 14 min/gm on the same line with Jost and Mittelstadt, a waiver claim and what many consider a bust are his line mates, hardly top six quality.
Fourth, Jokiharju plays more minutes than ANY other RHD D-man for the Sabres this year and last year only Dahlin played more minutes than he. He has developed into a solid defensive RHD who over his career matches Schneider scoring capabilities.
Fifth, let's agree Goodrow, is a solid defensive forward, but so is Asplund at a forth the price. Last year before Quinn, Peterka and Jost pushed him into the press box, he scored only 6 fewer pts than Barcley.
Finally, use these comparisons
Goodrow with Asplund
Lafrenière with Olofsson
Schneider with Jokiharju
Östlund as a sweetener.
As a Sabre fan I will keep Olofsson's 18 goals as a third line winger over Lafrenière's potential every opportunity I can get.
I know who Jokiharju is and only three Buffalo defensemen play more minutes than his 20 min/gm v Schneider15 min/gm.
I will also keep Östlund and Asplund over Goodrow's $3,641,667 until 2026-27, that cap hit can be spent better elsewhere and is too much for a 3rd or 4th liner.
Bottom line let's all agree this trade does not work for either team and call it a draw, but it is certainly not a terrible offer, just not in the best interest of the Rangers to make the changes.
