Probably gonna cost more than a 4th for half retained, most likely a second +

Yeah that's what I was thinking. And honestly, not sure he's a fit now that we have Tatar. I could see this happening at the deadline if Buffalo is out of it and Drouin sucks.

Sabres pass. Not nearly worth it.

This is a horrendous trade for the Sabres,
with ZERO CHANCE of happening

We have absolutely no reason to just dump Olofsson like this
It’s just not gonna happen - no way

Sabres are not paying him half the salary for 4th. He is useful player and will be need while Quinn is out.

@Andy_Dick please forgive me as I copy my most recent Olofsson comparison:

"Olofsson is bashed by nearly everyone on this site, including Sabre fans.
He is included in trades not because he is a dump or bad but because Buffalo has Kulich, Savoie, Benson, Ostlund etc who will earn 1/5 of his currently salary next year.

I have absolutely no idea what Olofsson will bring if the Sabres decide to trade him.
Some team looking for goals at the TDL will give the Sabres at least a second if not more, providing he is producing as well as he did last year.

You do know over the last four seasons Boeser has played 583:45 more minutes than Olofsson but has one less goal (80 v Olofsson's 81).
Two seasons since they both signed new contracts each Boeser goal cost $309,302 while each Olofsson goal cost $197,917.
Last season Brock played over 60% of the time with one of Miller, Horvat or Petterson as his line mate.
Conversly, last season Victor played only 10% of the time with our top two centers Cozens or Thompson.
Most NHL fans would think Brock is worth a first or more.

Last season Olofsson had more goals than DeBrincat yet Victor played 483 fewer minutes.
Neither of Victor nor Alex are noted for their defense, but Alex certainly returned a bundle.

Finally, only 22 NHL forwards scored at a faster rate than victor's 1.6 goals/60 last year.
This is not to say Victor is better or even as good as Alex, just making the point that he is a very good sniper, and it is unlikely Buffalo would just give him away.

There, I got that out of system. laugh laugh laugh laugh"

It is highly unlikely he will only return a late fourth round pick, especially if there is 50% retention.

Once Jack Quinn is back in form then and only then does it make sense to move Olofsson. 50% retained Olofsson should net a 2nd
