The only thing with Olofsson is he is 26 in July.

So idk how much of a ceiling remains however maybe in a more uptempo system we see better results ?

I like the player though. Slot him next to Cozens on the 2A line and have Mitts’ line as the 2B line.

If Eichel and Reinhart are both sent packing though they have to definitely get 2 pieces back that can play on a proverbial “top line”.

Maybe Sabres can roll 3 “2nd line” quality lines.

Olofsson has hit his ceiling already. He’s literally only good from 1 part of the ice.

I would not be afraid to even move him.

If they're rebuilding, there's no point in moving Okposo or Skinner, anyway, if it costs you assets to do it (as some have suggested). You won't be good again for another 5 GD years, so what's the point?

Could not agree more. Let the clock run out on Okposo and skinner will cost less to move in 5 years. And I still think skinner can be useful if used correctly with the right players. He’s just paid $1-2 mill too much.

I am curious if they go half rebuild. Trade jack. Maybe MAYBE Risto (all coaches seem to love him). And lock Sam up long term and it becomes Sam and Risto as your co-captains...

Draft Beniers - that motor is relentless- intangible this organization desperately lacks.

Shanahan nailed it when he said Toronto’s roster lacks killer instinct, the Sabres (Oilers/Devils/etc) are in that same boat.

Adams needs to build this roster off of the youth that showed passion and skill which made the final games actually more entertaining than the past few seasons.

Move on from 9, 55, 33, 20, 28, 23

Rebuild, good luck getting rid of Skinner or Okposo

The point is to show the rest of the rostered players this isn’t a country club.

7 concussions and a mental breakdown? Time to hang them up.

Krueger broke Skinner, I don’t think it’s possible to salvage him, need that roster spot for new blood.
