Quoting: VGKNation702
I think your 3rd back and a 2nd in 24 with KK sounds pretty close imo
Quoting: BUFF36
So my 3rd back, Vegas's 2nd in 2024 and KK for Olofsson
With only Jokiharju and Lyubushkin that would fill one of Buffalo's weak areas, RHD.
While other contributors may disagree, with 23 goals this season, Olofsson is
top line production, playing 3rd line minutes.
Reunite him with Eichel, and he could reach 40 goals.
Only 7 NHL players who have played more than 40 games score goals faster than his 1.8/60 min.
Here his Pronman's evaluation of Kaedan
Korczak:
Ranked 7th among VGK prospects, RHD
21 years old | 6-foot-3 | 192 pounds | Shoots right
Drafted: No. 41 in 2019
Tier: Projected to play NHL games
Skating: NHL average
Puck skills:
Below NHL average
Hockey sense: NHL average
Compete: NHL average
Analysis: Korczak played a large role for his AHL team in Henderson this season, lining up on both special teams regularly. He’s a tall, mobile defenseman who can make a lot of defensive stops due to that combination. Offensively he’ll never excite you, but there’s enough first pass and transition ability with his feet that I think he’ll be a
full-time third-pair defenseman.
Maybe Karmanos would want to move Olofsson for a 2nd pairing RHD, but Korczak may become a 4th/5th NHL RHD.
