pi2000 Posted October 15, 2018 Report Posted October 15, 2018 Good start for the young swede. Let's see if he can keep it going into Dec, Jan, Feb... No need to rush him up to the big club. Quote
WildCard Posted October 15, 2018 Report Posted October 15, 2018 Olofsson was the guy I had pegged as my under the radar prospect for this year. Granted I thought he'd make the team right off the bat, but I still think he's going to be a steal where/when we got him 1 Quote

Scottysabres Posted October 15, 2018 Report Posted October 15, 2018 a 7th round pick is a Sabres prospect as a surprise sleeper? It's about dam time we hit on one of these late rounders. He looks like a solid sniper. How's his speed? Defensive game? Does it appear he is top 3, 6 material? And most important of all, I have a 22 year old daughter, photographer, where's he hang out? Inquiring Dad wants to know. Quote

His size at the time of the draft may have had a bit to do with where he went in the draft....and still might in the NHL, but think he'll be OK. Top 6 and maybe Top 3. Sorry, don,t know where he "hangs out". 1 Quote

He's either a top 6 winger or not in the NHL. I don't think he fits the typically 3rd line and a 4th line role would be a waste. 1 Quote

His speed is impressive, his defensive play is average i guess but his skills on the offence is utterly awesome. Ive warched this young man play sinch youth and he is a very powerful weapon on powerplay, he also has a good overall hockey sense and usually doesnt make any big misstakes. He will get his chance soon i bet! 1 Quote
MODO Hockey Posted October 18, 2018 Report Posted October 18, 2018 Wow and wow.. Victor Olofsson with 2 goals and 2 assist, kid is litterly on FIRE!! Quote
Norcal Posted October 18, 2018 Report Posted October 18, 2018 Dude can flat out shoot the puck. Quote

He can but he needs to work on his overall game which is why I think we will see him stay in Rochester for the majority of the year. Develop him properly, allow him to have success but also work on what he needs to fix. Quote
Gatorman0519 Posted October 18, 2018 Report Posted October 18, 2018 He only needs to be proficient defensively. His smart play will make up for it hopefully. But what he has we need: a scoring touch and a wicked shot. I am so sick of watching our inept offense that I cant wait to get some pure goal scorers. If we are going to be losers at least give us some electric goals regularly and lose 6-5 rather than watching our 2 goals a game snoozefests. At this point at least entertain us! 1 Quote
North Buffalo Posted October 18, 2018 Report Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) Didnt realize he was already 23, then bring him up asap and see if he can hang. Edited October 18, 2018 by North Buffalo Quote

sabills Posted October 18, 2018 Report Posted October 18, 2018 Little thing on VO and Pilut from Joe Yerdon of the Athletic if you've got a sub:https://theathletic.com/597825/2018/10/18/former-swedish-rivals-victor-olofsson-and-lawrence-pilut-exchange-raves-as-rochester-teammates/ Nothing earth shaking, a little bit about them being rivals before and playing on the same team now, and about how they're both willing to work for the NHL. 2 Quote
MODO Hockey Posted October 20, 2018 Report Posted October 20, 2018 Kid is on FIRE, holy ! 13 points on 7 games now, gonna be fun to see him in the Sabres jersey Quote
