So, how's the Reilly deal working out for MTL? Not bad, huh? How about the Scandella deal for BUFF? Ok?
Olofsson has talent. Certainly better defensive chops than Reilly, and can handle the puck. If he gets, and stays healthy, he will be a steal. MN moved him, just like they moved the previous two LHD, because of space and waiver considerations.
You have a better idea what you're getting with Reilly and certainly Scandella (weird example). That's why the Habs got Reilly for a 5th and kept him on their NHL roster.
Plus St Louis and Dallas passed on claiming Olofsson, not to mention the Habs.
