Ok, so now we divide points by age?

Is there some kinda formula?

Guys develop at different times and ages.

So power isnt going to be compared to dahlin, because he's gonna be older when beginning his nhl career?

Why do you need a formula? These guys are a similar age. No need to go back to Sam's first 3 seasons, when VO wasn't good enough to play in the AHL.

Too many young guns.

Sabres could hopefully can replace his scoring between peterka, quinn, krebs, tuch and this years 1st.

Murray and histo are frindge as well.

Olofsson's game has clearly dropped off.
Our franchise has really added some quality forwards

Time's change.

Wonder if olo is injured, does it discount his tdl value and next contract values?

- Boss34

Just don't think they will pay him the money. And I do think he's playing with something.

X=current age
Y=goals per 60
A=adjusted goals per age

(X-21.6) / (0.95Y) = A

Why do we need to go by your standards?

Age is now the most important measuring factor.

I'm gonna have to take notes,:
I'll make sure I keep up with your opinion, your opinion of your opinion and the standard player comparison, age not points.

To answer your question, a formula would be helpful.
Lots of variables to consider, not just age....

VO is older. What's wrong with simply using the last year or two?

You're the one needlessly bringing Sam's NHL performance at 18 into this. Or you're just messing with everyone and don't actually believe any of this.

You really don't think Sam's 350+ nhl games didnt help him score more points than olofsson in his rookie and 2nd year?

Nhl Experience definitely reflects a players point totals.

Oh, he admits to watching 5 minutes of Sabres hockey this season, but has hot takes, too.

Jets finishing strong, do the bills play Allen?
- washedup20


Why would they not?
We need to win that game to win the division
And it’s pretty obvious we’d rather play a home playoff game than one on the road

There's a reason Sam has all those extra games.

His name recognition from his dad and brothers being NHL players?

Imagine having to work hard and hone your craft at every level. Makes you resilient. (Yet fragile for sure)

Forgive me if I bring up the fact that olofsson is making less than 1/2 Sam's pay this season.
The nhl is a salary cap league, you know that better than anyone around here.

VO's on a 2 year bridge that is very similar to Sam's at the time. All those extra seasons Sam has put him a year closer to UFA, so of course he's making more. His deal bought 2 UFA years.

This is a strange topic. You love one player and hate the other. I don't care for either of them. Who is more objective?

Objective - (of a person or their judgment) not influenced by personal feelings or opinions in considering and representing facts.

Kinda a lot of feelings and opinions on both sides of the discussion.

Olofsson proved he wasnt a 1 trick pony pp specialist.

He hasn't looked particularly good since the injury.
Couple ghost games.
The reason I like olofsson is his sniper shot.
Losing some love without that shot.....

Just because you got all the bobble heads from the arena as the only fan, while they nod in agreement to your every thought doesn’t make any of it sane.

Cabin fever is real bro, you’ve seen better weeks.

Happy new year, Fitz is the only tard nugget, take a lap and calm down.

You realize he hasn't scored since October, right?

He's been bad. You can say it. An 11 day shutdown didn't help. If he is hurt, they need to deal with it. Playing through it is not working.
