Value of: Victor Olofsson?

[Gubbhornet]

Seeing the Sabres roster Olofsson will only drop in value since he no-one will be able to pass him. What is he worth?

More of a PP specialist, good shot.. not really noticeable 5 on 5 . But w/ Buffalo he's better then what they have.
Probably have to be an over payment to get him as Buffalo really doesn't have depth or anybody better that can play ahead of him.

He's 26 , RFA status upcoming still.

Probably would need a player and not a draft pick.

I don't see the return that great, and I'd rather just keep him.

Kaut and JTC

keep it. Send your first and call it a day. It'll be 25 or after anyways

 

[HaNotsri]

Would be happy for a conditional 2nd that turns to a first based on playoff games played.

 

[Perennial]

I don't see him as a foundational piece worth keeping around through a lengthy rebuild, IMO, you retain 50% and sell him to the highest bidder...

 

[Son of Petter]

Kid can flat out score with the right centerman. Would flourish in a lot of places

Good call. Arizona can throw in our 1st to make it a 3 way deal.

Cause stripping away all of our talent to the bone went so well last time for the Sabres........

Baffling how many people are eager to trade away a good young player for a handful of air with a dream inside it

 

[Dirty Dog]

Buffalo needs to identify the young players on the roster that are good and KEEP them.

Stripping your team down to nothing is a terrible way to rebuild...ask the sabres

 

[Chainshot]

They have no need to deal one of the few players who can score goals, even if other parts of his game aren't nearly as strong. None.

Seems like they found a way to pass him the puck repeatedly last night. Funny that the other 17 skaters all have these things called "sticks" and some of them even know how to use them.

He's 26. He'll be 28/29 by the time the team should ideally be competing. You would need to give him a contract into his 30s in order to keep him around. That would be a classic Sabres thing to do. Especially for a guy that isn't good 5v5.

Smart move would be trading him at the deadline to a playoff team in need of PP help. I could see him fetching a 1st from a contender.

By gawd, a 28 year old on a team trying to compete???

I know right? Crazy to think they might want to score some finesse goals between now and then.

Signing a 28/29 year old winger who isn't a star long term is a great move.

Check out Matt Moulson, Kyle Okposo, Jeff Skinner,

Let's keep the tradition going shall we

Let's worry about that when they get there. It's pretty far away at this moment.


Edit: Of similar conversation points of "oh, he'll be too old by the time they are contending" used to carry water for the shit that was the O'Reilly trade. It cuts both ways - they haven't even gotten to a point where they are talking about something for him, nor is there an indication that they are going to pay him a dumptruck full of money. So in the meantime, a player who can score some goals on the roster is actually better than a lottery ticket draft pick.

He's a RFA with arbitration next year. A decision will have to be made soon. Long term deal or ship him out. Hopefully Adams makes the smart move and trades him for a high pick at the deadline instead of committing long term to a PP specialist.

Or if they do go to arbitration, then he's a UFA next deadline and they sell somewhat higher then. There is plenty of time.

Buffalo should just hang on to him unless he wants out or someone offers the Sabres something they can't refuse.

Are you seriously trying to compare ROR to Olofsson? One was a top two way center signed long term. The other is a PP specialist winger who struggles 5v5.

The most important thing is the future of this team. Decisions should be made with that in mind. I wish the previous GMs sure did.

Or even just keep him around to do what he does (score on the PP) until next year's deadline and if no reasonable contract has been reached, deal him then.

No, I'm comparing the "he won't be at his peak when they are competitive" bullshit commentary that seems to be driving your argument.

Sabres competing in 2 years? Damn
