Hawks could flip him for a first at the deadline. Give him top line minutes with Bedard and retain 50%

Have you watched Olaffson play? He's a one trick pony. Great shooter. That's it. Weak with the puck on his stick, not physical, doesn't play D.
Olofsson may be a one trick pony but it is a REALLY GOOD TRICK!
Only 16 NHL forwards score more goals/60 than Victor.
Since he is 6 years older than the new crop of forwards, he has been relegated to 3rd line duties with (waiver claim) Jost as his center.
I am not here to say Chicago should or would make this trade, only that Olofsson is greatly underrated.

Expedite shipping. Too good to be true. Yep it is
As I just stated we all tend to underrate him as he has been pushed aside in favor of the youth movement.
I would certainly not trade him for only a second as many have proposed.
Targeting the right team he could return a late first from a playoff team if 50% of his salary was retained.
His 26 goals would be second among the Knights, but they would most likey say no still feeling the burn of giving up Tuch for Eichel.
MIN only Kaprizov, and CAR only Neces and Aho have more goal than he for other examples.
