I don't disagree, but if all they're offering is Krebs (who they have rumored to want to move for a while now) and Olofsson then you wait and get a better return @ the deadline.
Like I said, we have Pelletier who's progressed at a higher pace and better rate and has established himself better in his pro career thus far. Why do we need a prospect whos only declined his his draft pedigree in Krebs?
I'm not sure Krebs would crack our top 5 prospects at this point, with Pelletier, Zary, Coronato, Wolf and Honzek all easily above him.
Krebs doesnt move the needle at all for Calgary at this point, unless hes attached to a 1st + real prospect or young roster player with upside. It would be like Calgary moving Pelletier and Coleman for Power or Dahlin... Buffalo would be stupid to do it, so why should Calgary bite?
