I wonder how much of Olofsson production at the start of the year was because of LoC being in the 4th line? LoC is a fantastic bottom 6 guys and can prop up a lot of guys.
Confirmed with Link: Avs acquire Fredrik Olofsson from Dallas for future considerations

I don't know if there is a trade coming but with two days off after tonight's game it would be the best timing for the Avs.

Best move possible. Bury him in Loveland if you need the spot but you can always keep him on the emergency roster in the playoffs. He's a far better option than MacShit pretending to play forward.

Rögle has already contracted Fredrik Olofsson on one occasion. The club hopes to attract the star back to the SHL in the future.
Olofsson hasn't been great by any means but let's also keep in mind in a fully healthy lineup he'd have Parise and Kiviranta on his wings at worst, or any combo of Parise/LOC/Cogs. With so many bodies out of the lineup he's been stuck with absolute garbage for wingers, including a guy who simply has no business being in professional hockey at any level.

I'd take Oloffson back next year on a two way league minimum $775k deal with a guaranteed minimum salary like they like to give out. His play dipped a bit, but he's a decent depth guy.
Kiviranta got a $275k guarantee. Hunt and Hudon got $450k. Blidh got $375k.
He migth make more in the SHL though if he's a star in that league. I believe their league average is $110k. Probably depends on how many NHL games he might get.
The Avs are gonna need a cheap 4th line next year, and he wasn't that bad. Parise has said this is his last year, and judging from Cogs play, he looks like he may hang em up too.

I'd like for our 4th liners to play a much more heavy game than the Olofsson, Kivi, and Cogs of the world. Time to bring in some menace.

That's a big reason why Wagner has replaced him at 4C after only a few games.
Wonder if they add someone at the deadline too or just plan on trying RJ/Wagner/Olofsson?

Hopefully Wagner and Olofsson are Black Aces in the PO. I could live with RyJo at 4C if he magically cared and if we got a good 2C.

$1.7M next year probably takes him off the table. Avs need a cheap 4th line next year. Like at most probably two league min guys, and a $1M guy. Kovalenko's making $896k.
Yeah I feel the same. I'm not holding my breath on RJ, but if he's not moved, I'm hoping he can step up like usual and be an X factor with a big goal or two. Look at Helm in 22.
He needs to hustle more defensively though.
Ryjo is a centre not a winger.

And a damn good one at that. This team had their 2C and replaced him with a guy that can't do a single pullup. Think about how many pullups MacK does in the corners as he's battling for pucks and now picture MittelJost flailing about.

Nice guy, just doesn't have the skillset for an NHL 4th line. Wish him all the best.
