Speculation: Where do Anthony Duclair and Victor Olofsson sign?

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I'm especially intrigued to see what Olofsson gets, because while both feel like July 2nd or 3rd guys, and both are proven, multiple time 20+ goal scorers, in fact Duclair has a 30 goal season, Duclair is having his standard 20+ goal season.

While Olofsson is having an awful season he's only got 7 goals and 15 points but he's a 3 time 20+ goal scorer, and he had 13 in the 56 game season.

Both of these guys could be under rated additions.

Tomas Tatar situation for at least olofsson.

 

[Jared Dunn]

Olofsson is Mike Hoffman 2.0, passenger player with a great shot. If you need a trigger man on the power play that's about the only value he can bring.

Duclair brings more, wonder if Tampa resigns him if Hanifin option isn't there. Feel like he gets like 2x2.5/3

 

[TheBeard]

Duclair is gonna go back to SJ.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Duclair is gonna go back to SJ.

Probably not

 

[Mrfenn92]

Duclair to Anaheim and Olofsson to San Jose

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

Olofsson seems like a pretty one dimensional player

I'd guess one of the bottom feeders will grab him to help with goal scoring

Olofsson has only played 40 or so games do far this year playing on the 4th line when dressed and not playing much PP

 

[BonMorrison]

Duclair looks like he's fit in really well on Tampa, maybe they re-sign him? Probably would need to offload Sheary onto someone though.

 

[Chainshot]

My guess? Olofsson signs with Frolunda.

I'm aware of that, that's why I think he's going to sign a cheap deal.

If he can get back to his 20+ goal form somebody will be very happen.

You don't think he's going to get NHL interest? It was less than a year ago he had 28 goals.

I can see Verbeek checking in on both, he has said he wants another top 6 forward in the offseason. Problem is Ducks need a RHS RW and both players are lefty I think?

He's an empty calorie goal scorer. I think most serious teams will look at a player who is so shy of puck battles and contact and immediately shift him to a "do not sign" category.

A team like San Jose might though it seems that would be just shuffling Labanc out for a Swedish version of that player.

I doubt Verbeek would have any interest at all in Anaheim.

That leaves maybe Chicago where he could be a shot option on their PP. So maybe Chicago. I don't see most teams being interested. The holes in his game are glaring.

Yeah, Vic is a left shot. Having heard some of the talking heads speak about Verbeek wanting guys who will put some skin in the game, who are more combative and contact driven... Vic is NOT THAT GUY.

Yeah, that too. Ducks do need a goal scoring badly, but end of the day, I think Verbeek will go with someone more well rounded and a better leader for the young team if he signs anyone.

 

[BCNate]

I expect that the Canucks will be looking at all scoring wingers this offseason.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I'd consider Duclair in Montreal depending on the contract, but that speed is deadly.

 

[Hins77]

I'd consider Duclair in Montreal depending on the contract, but that speed is deadly.

That could be interesseting, with Kirby Dach and Joshua Roy! Pretty sure he would sign for 2 years.

 

[Zwui21]

JBB rarely trades for player at the deadline and let them walk (Savard only one that comes to mind).
As Duclair seems to be gelling with Point and Kuch pretty well, I expect the Bolts to re-sign him and shoot Sheary in the outer space.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Son of the Olofs would be good with rebuilding team.

 

[LeBrun is a Clown]

Duclair is gonna go back to SJ.

More like wherever Grier goes to after getting fired

 

[TheBeard]

There is zero chance Grier gets fired.

 

[Jared Dunn]

Thought about this the other day, Habs need goal more goal scorers, but not sure I'd want to plug up a top six spot with him though and don't know if they have enough depth to make him useful elsewhere in the lineup

 

[majormajor]

I could see Duclair being sought after by a lot of teams, and Olofsson sought after by none.

 

[rams]

A tanking team will get good use out of Olofsson.
