Nice shot on this guy , that’s about it
I assumed he would have to take something like 1x$1 million tops. Pretty surprised he got multiple years, let alone at any dollar figure more than that.
Eichel loves this guy, has been on record raving about him all the time and even telling his dad “this guy could score 50 in his sleep” so I’m sure he had something to do with this lol

I mean he’s got a great release so if they plan on playing him with their top line or Eichel he’s probably gonna put up goals, but he’s not gonna do really anything else. His compete level sucks but they’re not adding him for that I’m guessing. He’s literally gonna be a shooter and that’s pretty much it. I don’t think the AAV will be over 1.5-2M so I think it’ll be fine.

The only way he scores 50 is in his dreams, so maybe that's what Jack meant.

Low risk move. If he can reignite his chemistry with Jack, it’s a super cheap way to manufacture power-play goals. If his lack of commitment to any sort of contact or puck battle continues, he can enjoy Henderson.
I think he's done. Fine depth move with goal scoring upside, but he just is not an NHL quality player other than the shot.
I read hersey instead of Henderson
was gonna say their vets would be all over him but then I realized the mistake

I thought his physical game, for him, actually got better last year. A quick look at hits per 60 min vs. other Sabres puts him just behind Tuch and ahead of Benson, Power, Peterka, Skinner, and Mittlestadt. Not saying much other than there's worse out there.

Cassidy is going to hate this guy.
Yeah if VO doesn't score a bunch right from the start he'll be in the A by New Years. Thankfully the full hit can be buried so no risk.
He'll have a short stretch of games where he shows a little compete along the boards and goes to the net -- and then he wakes up again and goes back to being Victor Olofsson. Maybe a change of scenery and a new coach can get more out of him. But if it doesn't work, no big deal for Vegas. Good depth.
