actually not terrible. We do need another scoring threat and if we choose to go for a cheaper option I could see Olofsson being an option, never really thought of him before

Would just Engvall for Olofsson be fair?

Well you tell me how many goals you think Olofsson would have playing on a line with Tavares and Nylander instead of Robertson and Kerfoot.
If John could get three consecutive 30 goal seasons out of Matt Moulson, I would imagine he could do the same and more for Victor.

No, but right now our 3rd line is a misfit toys line. Casey mittelstadt is showing that he desperately needs help centering an nhl line, that line is likely to give up a goal every time they go over the boards. Olofsson isn't a center ice stick tapper, he gets back, he just doesn't seem to help much. Then that line struggles mightily to get out of their own end and competently enter the offensive zone. Olofsson is an nhl winger, you have to deploy him properly, and right now, it's not happening here. You stick him with Tavares and he's going to produce. At this point, mittelstadt needs bob Gainey and Don luce to ride shotgun, just to keep the puck out of the net when he's on the ice. But our first two lines are set for the time being. I hope we get something useful for olofsson if we decide to move him, but like I said, if you are able to get him that cheap and have an adult center to set him up, you'd be crazy not to do it.

I don’t see why the Sabres would want Engvall at all frankly
Don’t think the Sabres would be looking to acquire a 3rd line winger
