The league should know by now what he is. Either a team needs a PP sniper or they don't

No low ball offers I know what I have



This bad boy can fit so many pp goals in it

I'd either go Olofsson or Okposo. Obviously Okposo would never be scratched though
- Hank Balling


Okposo I get because he's the Captain, don't agree but understand. What I don't get is why Olo is getting miles of slack. The "he's being shopped" excuse is over given the TDL passed. At this point, he does nothing of substance out there. Having better options for the PP really destroyed his impact.

I learned a long time ago to never trust draft assessments years in advance.

😀😀😀

What confuses me :

Poster - I hate olofsson, healthy scratch him, he sucks. Hope he never plays another shift.

Same Poster - maybe trade olofsson and a pick for Tom Wilson? He would be an excellent addition for the caps.



Cap that off with the whole "facepunchers " troll job for years.....

Maybe they'd want a sniper opposite OV, or maybe they want someone for PP2. No idea what their needs are tbh

Olofsson has value - the question is whether he has value to this Sabres team

Is Jack Quinn better than Alexis Lafreniere? What about Quinton Byfield?

(frank), what about Tim Stutzle? Is he better than all 3?

Olo is getting paid big $ on a budget team.

Bad look healthy scratching the teams top 5 paid/ top 5 goal scorer.

Bad look even writing this.....


I'm an olo defender, he's been a bit snake bitten.....

I agree , olofsson has value. Quinn does make olofsson less important in buffalo.

Does it make sense to bench him though?

Really start 2 goal greenway over olofsson?
Ouch....

If 2-goal Greenway is a better 5-on-5 fit then I'm absolutely playing him over 9 assist VO

There are two glarring plus minus players

when there is a gap of 12 between the worst forwards 1 to 2 clearly something isnt working

I've always liked olo, his 7th round story and the shot.

I'm down on the kid too. When you're a goal scorer and bring nothing else ,but vibes..... it's a tough situation.

I just believe you play olofsson out of his slump.
We've all seen his hot and cold play for a few years
Its infuriating....

That's my personal opinion, but from a management perspective, 0% you sit olofsson.

You just paid the guy, we run a high octane offense....

Greenway isnt bringing the same upside.

* and I agree with baller, greenway could prevent more goals.....
That's not really our thing though 🤔

I can see that, as Hank said, he has value, some team might be very enticed by his one timer. I just can't get behind the idea that we're playing guys because of past performances when we're in striking distance of ending the drought. Just seems like a good way to lose the loyalty/motivation of a roster. [/img]

im moving the posts a bit, and 2020, no one knew what the (frank) they were looking at...

but again, no one knows how these things are going to end up. looking at the best guy or best 3 guys is useless.

Just because a Bedard isn't in every draft doesn't make it a bad or ok draft.

I just hate the presumptions is all. If you can't tell.

One of the coolest things about Jack Quinn is that you need to wrench him off the top line when Tuch returns. What a player.

This is a really good post.

Olo is a uniquely streaky player though as well....
It's kinda his gig.
