I really don't care that Kane didn't sign here, but for what he took money wise! Sure. Think it just shows the views from the outside haven't changed much on the Sabres. Players still don't want to come here, well unless you overpay by 2mill.

Agree. Plus, if he produced, he would command a big extension, which is not great for us right now. I would prefer to invest the cap it will take to keep him in a couple bottom 6 spots

Playing himself into a regular spot in buffalos lineup?

Guy gets streaky
- Boss34

Credit to him for the hard work, hope he keeps it up. Like to see this Olofsson for more than 10-15gm stretches.

Playing like last night maybe

Playing like the season opener no chance

UPL made last night possible
- ieetbred

The team also played well last night.

It wasn't only UPL.

They generated offense at a level like last season, including a strong 3rd period performance.

We need to see that Game more consistently throughout the Year.

It has nothing but upside. Hopefully he recognizes that he has to consistently good if any team is to consider him for a roster spot.

Seeing a consistent willingness to battle along the boards and on the forecheck, along with being diligent defensively is what matters the most with him.

Yeah, this Olofsson is a good player, but the Void takes over for to long of stretches. If we consistently got this would make a huge difference.

Yup. He has a long way to go
- Sabretooth9

He has 6 quality starts in 9 total starts. Simple measure, but those are all good games.

Saying only 1 is out there.

I agree it was a great team performance. Either of the other two goalies don't get a W last night imo

Any of their chances in the 2nd go in we know how this team folds

Benson was fantastic along the boards, kids not afraid to stick his nose in there.

It's what makes him so infuriating. The higher effort version has never stuck around for much more than a month at a time.

This was known 2 years ago, was this worth $4.75mm per year?

Would you want him resigned, if so what would be the terms?

Olofsson has been playing very well, including on the forecheck and defensively.

Credit and respect to him 👏

Olo is back from the grave …….

Needs to keep playing will all out effort

I would like a 3rd back.

kulich is probably the most tier 1 a prospect can get right now right? hard to really know the value of that. they never get traded.

is krebs the best prospect traded in the last 5 years?

Speaking of-

"It's all Girgensons and Okposo's fault Krebs doesn't produce"

Okposo now on a 3 game goal streak. None assisted by Krebs

Very good point

Upl looked great, but the team around him played very well.

NHL may start copying the 11-7 pretty soon

I would like a 3rd back.
- IonSabres

His celery is 85% over what his value is. He is immovable unless Terry retains.

krebs plus 2
okposo plus 0
girgens minus 3

How aboot Philly, GM's 1st year - went out and signed high character players and are in a playoff spot.

Are they more talented, why didn't they chase potential?

I don't remember seeing this current higher effort version of him in the past.

Feels like the first time.

Has it ever not been like this?

Other than a couple years when they went to back2back Conference Championships

No on bringing him back.

Would rather allocate that money elsewhere.

Feels just like this time a year ago to me.

Guess I don't remember the interest in battling or defense from him.

okposo has shown hes earned a 2 year extension with his play recently to keep mentoring the young guys
