Solid deal. He's a good role player. He's not a great role player like Vic, but very good. Let's face it, without Vic's January we're not playing meaningful games in February.

Yeah I guess, sure Olofsson is helping the team and it's nice to see. Could also say his meaningless November and half of December is a reason we aren't in a playoff spot right now. He's playing very well right know, kudos to him. To me it's just raising his price.

They have a perplexing middle 6. Cozen's line got hot in November, Jost in January.

What's next and can everyone stay healthy?

That's pretty much it right there.

Maybe someone else could have stepped up in november /December like olofsson did in January?

Olo has really been a big part of this playoff push.

It's tough posting negative comments for months about a guy, then him prove you wrong.

He's been solid for a month. There's 6 months of hockey.

Be nice for Girgs, Mitts, Okposo to do a little more stepping up and contributing

Oloffson has been the same this season as he's always been since he got to this league: streaky. He's going to put up numbers for a stretch, and then be completely invisible in the next stretch. Luckily for him, he has a skillset that can keep him employed in this league for as long as he wants to.

That’s gross. Good for the player. The team ahhhh. Not sure

I would do both those trades, because it's for the now, and the future.

December was their best month. You're saying no one stepped up?

Goals win games
Olofsson scores goals
Nice skillset to have

I meant when olofsson isnt scoring, someone else needs to step up. He steps up when others aren't scoring.

You knew what I meant ☝️

Well you mean those 2 whole goals he scored in December, think there were other people stepping up

How has he proved me wrong, never said he wouldn't score 20 or more goals. But there’s other things to hockey when you aren't scoring for long periods of time and he was bad at those other things. Funny people can praise and lick his Nuts when he goes on a 12 game scoring streak, but God forbid you say anything when he is bad and bad for long periods of time.

Here's some ? of the Day. Obviously Girgensons Okposo Mitts Olofsson are somewhat the obvious players that will be moving on as are prospects replace them.
Who in that group is here long term or are you willing to extend. At that point are you just blocking prospects. Are you willing to commit to Olofsson at 29.

That's why it's a team sport.
If /when a guy slumps a bit, a teammate picks up the slack.

I'm just curious how the playoffs would go for olo?

Kinda a small framed guy and the playoffs are definitely more physical.

Maybe he gets hot and helps us out of the 1st round?

Well then wouldn’t this TDL or offseason be the best time to trade Olofsson especially if he stays hot. If you are not gonna extend him, maybe use him while his Value is high to get a Nice piece that will help the future. And some will say next year's TDL, and sure that's a possibility. But what if sh!tty Olofsson shows up alot more, or he gets hurt. Decisions Decisions

Ok can someone answer me this?

How does the All Star thing work. Tage was named to the team. He gets hurt and then Dahlin was named in his stead. Are they both All Stars now?

I was just thinking about old hockey cards where they would sometimes have a feature card that the wall Star players would have. Like Pro Set 1991 when they had series 2.

And when the player retires or wins an award and they manetuon his accolades. Would Dahlin have All Star beside his name? Would Tage?

Not sure why this was a bothering me so much

I think this is a really good point of view and see this side of the equation. Sell hot, tough next contract ect.

What I think the Sabres will/ should do is keep these guys together this year and next. It was the original plan and KA doesnt strike me as a "change of plans " guy.

I think the trade deadline is boring and this board explodes with stupid rants about Darcy staying put.

2 year plan right?

Clean out the bottom 6 or let olo sign as a ufa team friendly deal. I roll him directly to ufa status and hope he stays on the team that picked him. Moving him at the deadline opens up different feelings/vibes/continuity.

Dahlin was already joking at the allstar game about olofsson being "a mean guy" and he's the last guy he wanted to walk on the beach with, given the chance.

Keep dahlin happy with his friends, get him signed max.
