The Vegas offer is actually a lot, depending on how you view Krebs. Tuch is a 25 year old 20+ goal and 50+ point scorer. He's probably somewhere between Dube and Mangiapane in value. Krebs has a ton of talent. He destroyed the AHL, but has been useless in the NHL. Maybe He's on par with Valimaki.
Maybe:
Dube + Valimaki + 1st + second?
Maybe Buffalo just prefers the Vegas players and/or sees Tuch as more on the level with Mangiapane and wants him out of Calgary.
