SABRES TRADE OLOFSSON TO KRAKEN
June 28, 2023
NASHVILLE, TN - The Buffalo Sabres announced today that the team has acquired forward Jagger Firkus and defenseman Ryker Evans from the Seattle Kraken in exchange for forward Victor Olofsson. The Sabres subsequently signed Firkus to a three-year, entry level contract.
Firkus (5' 10", 153 lbs, 04.29.2004) joins the Sabres organization following his third season with the Western Hockey League's Moose Jaw Warriors, where he notched 35 goals and 51 assists for 86 points in 66 games. The Irma, Alberta native was drafted in the second round, 35th overall by the Kraken in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft.
Evans (5' 11", 189 lbs, 12.13.2001) just completed his first season of professional hockey, tallying 45 points and 79 penalty minutes in 71 games with the American Hockey League's Coachella Valley Firebirds. Prior to turning pro, he spent four seasons with the Western Hockey League's Regina Pats. The Calgary, Alberta native was drafted in the second round, 35th overall by the Kraken in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft.
"We are excited to bring two talented young players to the Sabres organization," said the Sabres GM. "We know that Stanley Cup teams are built through drafting and developing young players, and we look forward to seeing what these two young men will do for the Buffalo Sabres in the not too distant future. We thank Victor for all his contributions to the Sabres organization and wish him the best in Seattle."
The 2023 NHL Entry Draft continues this weekend from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. Buffalo's first pick is 40th overall, in the second round.

Trade Block
Looking for cap dump defensemen on short term deals, preferably with incentive. Willing to move Adam Henrique with retention as a good one year rental for a contender. Also willing to listen on Cam Fowler and John Gibson but would be looking for good value. Actively shopping LHD Urho Vaakanainen (1 year 850k) if anyone needs a cheap depth D, a pick or straight swap for a physical young forward could work.
Have lots of picks and prospects, could be in the market for a big addition but would need to be a younger player. Would like to make use of having three second rounders to move up into the first round, whether by packaging a couple together or taking on salary.
Confirmed. You can never have too much scoring pop, and Olofsson does just that. We think he'll thrive.
