Looks like they are rebuilding their scouting staff a little bit.

Did this guy influence the Olofsson pick?

Did this guy influence the Olofsson pick?

He was Olofsson's coach at MODO for the 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons and became a Sabres scout in 2015-16. The Sabres drafted Olofsson in 2014. He only played 11 games for MODO and had no points. The Sabres would have asked him what he thought about the player. He was also Ullmark's coach.

Good intel, thanks.

Not unexpected. I think most/a lot of us knew that the bloodletting was temporary.

No, that was Fredrik Andersson.

Forsberg didn't have anything to do with Olofsson or Ullmark. That was Fredrik Andersson as jfb392 said. Personally, I have lost my trust in Forsberg. But he should have some credits though for getting the Sens to draft Erik Karlsson.

He went from head coach of a top team in the SHL (that he helped to build) to fiasco as headcoach for Modo. He was expected to become one of our top coaches but his career fizzled out.

He picked some really good players to Skellefteå if I remember correctly.

Probably one of the best swedes when it comes to scouting and a step up from that cluesless guy who mostly went to games for the enjoyment of hot dogs and cinnamon buns from the scouting/press area.

Hamilton scouted the swedes?

He was the first person I thought of when I read that.
