the best thing they can do with their $$ is either get a good coach, or hire a director of hockey operations

What the hell is that trade? Olofsson had 63 points in his first 82 games and continues to score. Also good luck signing that many UFAs

The Sabres haven't had that much problems spending to near the cap. But wasting cap contracts has been a bigger problem. More than ever, a great GM, and scouting departments are the key to success as most teams spend a similar amount of cap.

Yup it is. And he has more pp goals then he does even strength. He’s not good 5 on 5.

I know he has more points on the power play, dont act condisending. That doesnt correlate with not being good 5v5. The entire Sabre team cant score 5v5. Ill take 63 PP points over a 7th dman and the Sabres gove up the 3rd. That trade is pathetic and not worth defending, its atrocious

He’s not good 5 on 5. Everyone knows it. Stop acting like he’s some top tier talent, because he’s not close to it

Then no one trades for him and the Sabres (gladly) keep him. Stop acting like the trade is good

Why would you defend a garbage trade then. Olofsson is far from the problem when hes tied for the lead in scoring (and 3rd in even strength scoring)

The Sabres need forwards, this only creates a bigger hole for them while not addressing anything

Their backend is one of the worst in the league by far. I've given you more than enough forwards.
