  • Brawndo changed the title to Victor Olofsson signs with Vegas 1 year 1.05 Million

Olofsson will do well in Vegas and outplay the contract.  He's a better hockey player than he gets credit for on this board.  He'll be properly utilized and will score lots of power play goals and even score some at even strength.  He has one of the best shots in the league.  His defensive play will also improve, because that's what the coach and his teammates will demand, just like it did for Eichel.  Regardless of his strengths and weaknesses as a player, it was time for a fresh start for both sides.

Note that I wrote an almost identical post in the Girgensons thread.

Remember last season when we had a gadget guy whose only strength was a power play specialist that we never utilized when our power play was an absolute dumpster fire? 

 

PLEASE please PLEASE don't ever ask us to remember last season again.  😉

That’s one way to look at it. Also, the Sabres had such little talent, that the most one dimensional hockey player that I’ve ever seen, was given top line minutes as they had no one else.

I’ve never gotten this complaint with VO. One dimensional, as in purely offensive? Ok. But he’s not just a “sniper guy”, and usually one dimensional is more often used to describe players like like. 

Dude can pass. He’s got more career assists than goals

Up until last season he had 4 seasons as a pro in the nhl and *4 seasons* of good production. That’s actually uncommon. I’d be highly inclined to think this most recent season, under Donny meatballs, where coincidentally our whole offence imploded, is the outlier and the exception to the VO rule

He quickly fell out of favor with the coaching staff after his big year.  Wonder what happened?  

 

LOL - he probably wanted to salute the fans even though they booed...
