Didn't someone say he wanted to stay beyond this year?

I'm not sure, gotta think prysk had limited options going into this season.

Probably love to continue his nhl career.

Definitely a buffalo guy.
His versatility is also a bonus.

Isn’t his wife from Buffalo? Thought I read that somewhere when he was with FL.

How are olofsson's analytics?

Does this hire bode well for an extension?

Nice to see your guy tokarski is healthy and almost ready. ☝️

You know my opinion. I think you really agree, since you don't want to give him term or $ either. His analytics say he's worth less than his actual production. How VO's camp wants to play things is the real question.

Cool, thank you. Maybe I read they got married while he was in Buffalo, idk.
He is a loyal worker, and will always put in full effort.

As much as I like goaloffson, I really do not want the Sabres to overpay obviously.

You tricked me into the $5 million x 5 years.
I was being hopeful.

I bet he signs a bit under Sam's 3 for 19.5 million?

Maybe 5.5- 6 million instead of 6.5 per.

Lot's of good forwards finally in the system.
Could be squeezed out.

Sam signed at a very tough time, below market value, for a great team.

VO's set to hit UFA at a good time. He could very well ask 7x7 or just threaten arb into UFA.

Sam's a much better player. He could have fought for a better deal, likely for a lesser team.

All good points... minus the Sam's a much better player.
That's an opinion. I'm guessing they put up similar ppg #'s while they were both playing here.

7 x 7 would be really hard to swallow.
Unless he is actually impaired this season by an injury.

I have faith in kagm .

An opinion on your own opinion. 🤔
Sam's 1st 167 nhl games 90 points
Olo's 1st 141 nhl games 97 points

Your right, I do not want to fight and it's not close ☝️

Guys get better with more experience.

Too many young guns.

Sabres could hopefully can replace his scoring between peterka, quinn, krebs, tuch and this years 1st.

Murray and histo are frindge as well.

Olofsson's game has clearly dropped off.
Our franchise has really added some quality forwards

Time's change.

Wonder if olo is injured, does it discount his tdl value and next contract values?

Except Olofsson, who ACTUALLY rode Eichel's coat tails, unlike Sam who's on pace for, checks notes, a career high. Funny that.

Olofsson's goals per game have fallen every year, along with his SH%, along with his ATOI, and points. He also scored 11 of his 15 PPP last year with Eichel, who only played 21 games, and was hurt. That means he had a whopping 4 PPP in 35 games without Eichel.

Ok, so now we divide points by age?

Is there some kinda formula?

Guys develop at different times and ages.

So power isnt going to be compared to dahlin, because he's gonna be older when beginning his nhl career?
