<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gretzkyghosts</b></div><div>Please enlighten us, how many professional hockey games have you played?
What position did you play.

Please forgive me as I copy my most recent Olofsson comparison:

"Olofsson is bashed by nearly everyone on this site, including Sabre fans" <em>and you are by far the most egregeous trying to justify he is only worth a seventh</em>.
"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 <strong>Boeser has played 583:45 more minutes than Olofsson but has one less goal (80 v Olofsson's 81)</strong>.
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.

<strong>Last season Olofsson had more goals than DeBrincat yet Victor played 483 fewer minutes</strong>.
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.</div></div>

Oh wow, he scored some empty net goals! you guys are clueless. Stick to eating mcdonalds on the couch and living in your moms basement

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AntiAnalytics</b></div><div>Somehow this makes sense to ppl
Olofsson is just the current whipping boy for the crybaby fans who absolutely NEED someone/something to complain about

Guys that score goals have value
A hell of a lot more value than a 7th round draft pick
Trading him for that is just plain STUPID</div></div>

"Cry baby fans" hahahahah tell me you know nothing about hockey without telling me. Youre the guy thats never played a day of hockey but you see someone score goals and think he is mcdavid. Again i understand you know nothing about hockey, but for those who know the game and watch the game understand vic is a very bad player. idc what the trade is, he is a waste of space. Goals doesnt mean useful hockey player

Thread: MY OPINION of most overrated
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>Zegras, Stone, Vasilevskiy, and Oettinger are absolutely not overrated.

I would say Tage is probably the most overrated player on Buffalo now. Yes he had a fantastic season but it's a real outlier from all his previous years. I think it's likely he falls back to earth a bit next year and probably averages out as a ~70 point player. Certainly nothing to scoff at though</div></div>

Tage???? have you watched sabres in the past two year since donny took over? Tage needed opportunity and proper coaching which he now got. Oloffson is by far the most overrated sabre, possibly most overrated in the whole league. Seriously one of the worst players if he not literally putting a puck in an open net

Thread: PARAYKO CONTRACT GOOD OR BAD
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Funny how you left out the parts where you claimed his contract was "near unmovable" and how "no-one other than blues fans think that parayko will get any type of value in a trade". And it was hardly a back and forth. I proxy rejected <a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/696427?post_id=3982350">a purely idiotic highway robbery offer for Parayko</a> in an AGM, and per usual, people who only "watch Parayko play" on a stat sheet pretended that I asked for the moon and the stars for him. Then I mostly chuckled at some flailing responses and replied with hilarious GIFs because I no longer wanted to discuss the matter with someone who hasn't a clue about it.

As for your title question, I guess we'll all just have to wait and see. Parayko had a subpar year by his standards, but he is still not even close to the problem on that team.</div></div>

Looks like youre alone on this one pal. Read the comments. Its home team bias. Sabres fans will tell you skinner is an untradable contract. Hes a good player and especially has came back on with new coaching, but it doesnt change the fact that we all admit its a bad contract that no one will touch. No one is touching an 8 year contract on a 30 year old dman who was very average this year.
