I think he's taking his QO for 9m and heading to UFA

Sure seems like that's where things are heading.

Part of the reason why I believe Calgary went all in on a cup this season.

Amen, Hank. KO was my vote for the Rico Award. He's the conscience of the team and the best story of the year.

The Sabres remember this well, including the injury coming right when he was playing well.

"Losing Ullmark for any amount of time is a real setback for the Bruins. The Swedish goalie has been playing fantastic of late, posting a .922 save percentage and a 2.05 GAA since Feb. 24."

Really enjoyed reading this one Hank.

Okposo should be a lock for the Sabres Rico Award and it wouldn't surprise me if he got some votes for the Masterton.

Next season I'd give him the C, with Tuch and Dahlin getting an A.

I have a feeling that he'll be getting goal number 20 this weekend, hopefully tonight!

Heck yeah! I hate the Flyers so much. Puke orange jerseys and their stupid mascot. Two in a row against them...12 goals. Book it. Okposo gets two over the weekend.

From the Sabres website



Victor Olofsson missed eight games in November with a wrist injury that restricted his ability to shoot the puck. The injury forced Olofsson to put more emphasis on other aspects of his game to make him a more complete player, rather than just a goal scorer.  

It's paid off recently. Olofsson snapped his 30-game goal scoring drought with two goals, including the game-winner, against the New York Islanders on February 15. He has 11 goals and seven assists since that night, including 11 points (6+5) in his last 10 games. 


😉 sure thing. Playing Vic hurt actually helped him. I always appreciate a good spin job. This is politics level. Nice work, Sabres PR. I'm glad to see you read Sabresbuzz, and listen to Paul in Buffalo on the radio.

Yeah it's wide open, buddy said don't be surprised if they try to get to pick 17-18 if a CB falls. Looks like a 1st 3rd 5th could get them there. They like Muma, but are pick in the 2nd might be early for him, so trade back and recoup a 3rd and then hopefully snatch Austin.
