"I would love to come over next year. I feel like I'm starting to get ready for that," Olofsson said in a phone interview this past weekend. "I've been patient with going over because I felt like I wasn't ready, but I'm starting to feel ready now. I would say next year is probably the right time."
Anyone else worried this kid is gonna not sign and become a free agent? #CloseTheNCAAEuroLoophole
I really hope this kid pans out to at least be a middle six winger of some capacity to offset our terrible drafting.
Trying not to be snarky about the response but the answer is yes he has been over for dev camp and as recently as last summer but he wasn't on the ice due to injury recovery. The interview where he talks about it is in this thread.
Thanks for letting me off easy. I think I may be mixing him up with Possler. I thought one of them just refused to come, thought it was Victor tbh.
Still, I just see a guy who has really blossomed into a decent prospect, but is in year 4 now (can go UFA) and has no contract with us. I have the same fears about Borgen, who I think could be a good addition to Rochester next year. That's why I asked about the Dev Camp is all. He's a guy who if he waits until the summer, could sign for any team and there would be interest out there.
Really? With all your #fatstacks you couldn't crowd source an English translation? Weak sauce.There was a Swedish article from the same day as that WGR one, where their Swedish scout Alavaara said everyone from him to development guys to GM's keep in touch with Olofsson and sounds like they absolutely want to sign him. (Some Dahlin thoughts near end too.)
Blame EDM and VGK for blowing leads in the final seconds lately. #tinystacksReally? With all your #fatstacks you couldn't crowd source an English translation? Weak sauce.
Yep! It starts on the 18th or 19th for Frölunda depending on their position. It´s still six more games left of the regular season.When do their playoffs start? Has to be soon right?
