RW/LW Victor Olofsson (2014, 181st, BUF)

[Uberpecker]

This kid is very good.
That Olofsson - Johansson - Asplund line gave every one of Toronto's lines and defense fits all game.
But where he really shined was with Reinhart and Johansson.

Wicked shot to. Buffalo definitely hit on a late round sleeper here. Line 2 LW this season, with a really good shot at 30+/60-65.

Olofsson and Mojo with Reinhart at center. 2nd-line problem solved.

What of Skinner and Vesey? Presumably the pricey Skinner plays with Eichel and that bumps Vesey to third line? Think that will happen?

There is also the possibility that Vesey swings to RW and plays with Eichel and Skinner. He did the other night, including PKing with Jack.

One of Vesey/Sheary is gonna get bumped to RW, likely. Something like:

Skinner-Eichel-Vesey/Sheary
Olofsson-Johansson-Reinhart
Sheary/Vesey-Mittelstadt-Rodrigues
Girgensons-Larsson-Okposo

I'd love to see Olafsson on his off-wing with Skinner and Eichel. If I had to bet on it though, my money would be on Vesey to start the season there.

Could be a dark horse Calder candidate. If he keeps that top 6 role and PP1 spot.

Should be a lock for the top 6 and PP1, interested to see if he sticks with Eichel and Reinhart on line 1 or if they mix it up further.

All aboard the hype train

 

[Yatzhee]

This kid is a Calder candidate to be sure. His shot is just unbelievable and he's playing LW for Eichel and Reinhart.

A real chance at 30 - 40 goal season with 65 - 80 points in my opinion.

What a steal for Buffalo.

 

[Balls Mahoney]

Huge fan of this kid. Drafted him in keeper two years ago as a throwaway and am shocked at his progress. Watched him for the first time last night beyond YouTube clips and got to watch him unleash that all-world shot. I'd put his shot up there with Ovechkin's and Laine's as the top in the league. As a player, he kind of reminds me of a less dynamic Laine which I mean as a tremendous compliment.

Hell of a player, very excited to watch him progress in the league.

I prefer Hoffman, in terms of style and career arc, to all of these names.

I think that is called an Oxymoron

 

[Son of Petter]

This seems pretty spot on actually.

Safe to say this guy isn’t a prospect anymore.
