Caps don't do any of those. Boeser and Olofsson aren't good. Caps need to keep picks and youth. Caps should just keep Mantha is that's all they get in return. See if the new coach will use him properly.

good point

BB sucks. I wouldn’t trade Lap for him ever. He’s known for scoring goals but is a terrible 5v5 goal scorer

Sabres would decline imo

They would decline solely for the vibes, but if Kevyn Adams got that offer for him he would be stupid to say no. Olofsson is the odd man out now, so when new guys come in next season he has no spot

Adams would be stupid to just dump Olofsson in a deal like this

To your point about guys coming in next year to take Olofsson’s spot- i highly doubt it
Quinn & Peterka haven’t been better than Olofsson this year
There’s no reason to think Savoie & Kulich will be next year

Olofsson is gonna score over 30goals this year- ON OUR 3rd LINE- Do u have any idea how rare that it???
Take a stroll through other teams’ lineups & see how many others there are in the league- VERY FEW
And he’s doing it with Jost as his center for most of the year- TYSON JOST- a guy we got off of waivers

I get it
Olofsson doesn’t play great defense- or even good defense
But that describes half the good offensive forwards in the league
Not only are Olofsson’s goals so valuable bc they’re coming from the 3rd line
They’re also EXTREMELY VALUABLE bc they’re almost all at EVEN STRENGTH this season
Gone are the days when ppl can call Olofsson a “PP Specialist”
It’s just not true anymore
18 of his 23 goals are at even strength
That’s 78% of his goals

For comparison’s sake, let’s look at the percentage of even strength goals from some other players:
Tage Thompson: 55%
Skinner: 73%
Tuch: 79%
Cozens: 78%

Again, to remind you, Olofsson was at 78%
You’d laugh at the idea of trading any of those other guys for a 2nd round pick, & u should laugh at the idea of trading Olofsson for that too

1 more player’s even strength goal percentage- just for fun
Alex Ovechkin- probably the best goal scorer of all time
25 of his 35 goals have come at even strength this year
71%

That’s right- Olofsson has a better even strength scoring percentage this season than the best scorer of all time!!!
Want more? Ok
McDavid: 59%
Matthews: 64%
Pasternak: 68%


Still don’t realize how valuable Olofsson’s goals have been this year??
Get your head examined

A: I'd be shocked if he gets over 30
B: Jost isnt even bad idk why him being a waiver guy is a bad thing
C: While the points dont show, Quinn has been better than Olofsson. Peterka has not however
D: Arguing even strength scoring percentage for a guy who, despite having 24 goals, is a minus 22 on the year is pointless. He has a great shot and when he's dialed in he can score when it matters but when he isnt 100 percent dialed in hes a ghost who doesnt play defense at all. Unless another Ristolainen fleece offer pops up he at most goes for a Greenway esq return and he wont be a sabre next year.

Using +\- to make your point…..?
Way to tell me you know nothing about hockey
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sorry Caps fan,
we aren’t gonna dump Olofsson to u guys
Very unlikely

I dont use plus/minus as a gauge for talent, but i found it fun that even strength scoring percentage Jesus somehow still sucks at everything else.

In case you couldnt tell from the pfp, I am a sabres fan. When they dump olofsson for a third and a sixth in the offseason come back to this.

Nice game losing whiff btw, really flashing his talent when it matters most

Tage Thompson
O goals during our 4 game losing streak
I guess Olofsson isn’t the only one to have disappeared

The Sabres aren’t gonna “dump Olofsson”
If u think that, you’re a clown
But I’m not surprised, mr +/-

you cant clown me for using Plus minus as a joke if you wanna pull stats from a losing skid.

Tage Thompson: 3 assists in 4 game losing streak, back it up a game to include the lightning win and he's got a goal and 4 assists.

Victor Olofsson: 1 goal in losing streak, back all the way up to February 13th and he has a goal and two assists over the span of an entire month. Back up even farther to January 26th and he has 2 goals- 3 assists in almost two months.

You wanna say that Tage disappeared just because he didnt score during the streak despite the fact that he's been involved in a third of the goals scored.

He is 110% getting dumped this offseason, they wont keep Savoie in Winnipeg and there's a good chance Kulich cracks the roster next season. His time in Buffalo is almost over and his game losing whiff is the nail in his coffin
