Nice game, nice to see Lyubushkin starting to add a bit, hopefully he can keep improving. We could use him.

PP specialist Victor Olofsson leads the team in even strength goals.
- lacaprup

I’ve been saying for some time he’s the keeper. Ditch Mitts. Keep Jost, move him to the 4th line. Move Krebs to 3rd with JJ and Olofsson. Find a winger for Quinn and Cozens.

We have some of those guys in our system that should be coming up. KA prob put some feelers out for trades and mitts just isn't worth much. Better off keeping him for now. Has been playing a little better

My thought process is, keep raising the price Olofsson

Your thought process with olofsson has been horrible thru out the season.

You would have traded him for ef bear.

Now he's good 😀

Agreed. It's year 5, last 2 weeks shouldn't change anyone's opinion on him.

Boss said he was ready to move on from him. Says it all.

Lunaion said asplund was better and our coach was a fool for playing olofsson over elmer.

Boss said olofsson's streaky

21 goals for a 7th round pick. Imagine that.

Never called anyone a fool, even you. Don't need to make things up.

Are you going to pretend you didn't say this team didn't need a guy like VO anymore?

If Krebs becomes the new Girgensons I won’t even be mad

Also

Had Genny Bock on tap for the first time ever today and it’s a completely different experience

Interesting

Curious what his real opinion is. If he's no longer down on him and wants to extended him, that's fine to admit.

Where to go next with him is an interesting topic.

All 5 D around same ice time. Bryson at 13min. They got to control dahlins and powers minutes.
Jokiharju with most minutes. Thought hes been solid.

Just have a feeling that adams is set with this roster. Hes likes what he has. Up to granato to develop and put these kids in the right situation.

Are you trading away prospects then? These 1st rounders aren't going to take 4 more years.

Well if you extend him at what 29, then someone else needs to go. Can't keep holding up your prospects.

Trading him for good value after a strong second half is an ideal scenario, imo. Trading recent 1st rounders is less than ideal.

Could just let him play out his deal, let the kids develop next year. Not sure how smart that would be.

If Krebs ends up with 12 goals and 15 assists in his first full season in the NHL are we happy?
