Player Discussion Victor Olofsson (2014, 181st) – '18-19: Rochester #12 (AHL)

Maybe I'm mis-counting, but I see 48. Darn you tiny screen!

 

[dotcommunism]

Isn't the caveat being players whom buffalo owned rights to prior to the deadline. Olofsson is buffalo owned, So he can sign and play as with borgen., but this can't be done with free agent signings???

No, there is no such rule. There are even guys who sign PTOs out of the ECHL after the deadline who play in playoff games.

I counted 49. I think we can probably manage to scrape by without Kasdorf though. Cut him and sign him to an ECHL deal, or whatever.

 

[dotcommunism]

They're at 47 contracts against the 50 contract limit right now (Pu doesn't count, neither does Borgen since he isn't actually under contract this season).

Teams can't just "cut" guys.

I think you know what I mean. Buy him out as necessary.

Buy-outs can only happen in the off season, and Kasdorf is on an expiring contract.

Okay, that I didn't know. Thank you.

So, if they sign Olofsson and maybe Asplund for contracts for next year, and give them ATO's for Rochester for this year, then they only count against the 50 for next year?

Yep.

Not sure if that is Botts plan. It sounds like Asplund at least they would like to head for the WC's. If the Amerks need finishers, VO should be a candidate, even if it displaces someone else.

MÅÅÅÅÅÅL! With 1:27 left to play of the second period, Victor Olofsson lights the flame of hope.
He reduces to 3-1 with a snärtigt wrist shot from the left.

Olofssons 3:e mål i slutspelet assisteras av Rasmus Dahlin (2) och Jan Muršak (2).

Time to bring this kid home to Buffalo. He's developed nicely!

 

[Rasmus CacOlainen]

Come on get it done with the Borgen deal. We need him for Rochester ASAP.

#TreKronor plays two World Cup preparatory caps against Slovakia in
Norrköping and Oskarshamn on 5 and 6 April. #folketslag

I'd love to see him and Asplund on the same line.

Anyone who is familiar with the league, how impressive is Oloffson's season given his age?

Mattias Janmark-Nylén (Dallas), Andreas Johnson (TOR), Pettersson Emil (NSH) are comparable at similar ages.

They all have or will spent time in the AHL. I wouldn't expect Olofsson to immediately transition. Janmark has played the most in the NHL and he has .4ppg. He's bigger than Oloffsson who's bigger than Johnson.

It's reasonable to project a NA pro-career for him, but it would be a surprise to see him score 40 points in a season, unless the rules continue to evolve.

Asplund and Olofsson back at it today as Sweden faces Slovakia at the Euro Hockey Challenge.

Things starting to come together regarding some Swedes/Sabres. FBK website earlier this week reported that they believe Asplund will join Sabres org next season. Today, Frolunda web states that Olofsson will (translated) "represent another club in another league" next year.

Asplund and Olofsson draw the assists on Sweden's fifth goal. That's Olofsson's third helper of the game. Sweden leads Slovakia 5-1 late in the 2nd.

Victor Olofsson (17:06) produces three helpers and a game-high plus-4 rating, Rasmus Asplund picks up an assist and wins 8/12 draws while skating 14:53 as Sweden pounds Slovakia 7-1.

I see him being a beautiful 40-50 point player in the middle six... that shot and his speed on the smaller ice... there is no doubt in my mind he will be a PP point producing monster in the nhl

His shot on smaller ice is the mist exciting part of seeing how his game translates... I think he’ll be able to get it off and use it as a weapon... his shot is an elite skill

 

[Rasmus CacOlainen]

soooo does Sweden rate Olofsson>Asplund considering they give him more icetime? Get that kid on Jack's wing. Im sick and tired seeing Pomer there.....
