Since we're busy dissecting other videos in this series:
Is he a much better forward than pilut is a defenseman?
Similar age.
Similar AHL production last year.
Why don’t we wait and see what he puts up?Let's say he gets 30+30.
What do we sign him to? 6.5M long-term?
Let’s not get too ahead of ourselves. That said, why assume long term? If anything the league has shown bridge and mid term deals are alive and well.Let's say he gets 30+30.

A bridge would just take him to UFA thoughLet’s not get too ahead of ourselves. That said, why assume long term? If anything the league has shown bridge and mid term deals are alive and well.
Good point. I forget about his age. Would a two year deal still see him as an RFA at the end?A bridge would just take him to UFA though
I think so. He'll be 27 at the start of the 2022-23 seasonGood point. I forget about his age. Would a two year deal still see him as an RFA at the end?
Maybe the Will Karlsson treatment would make sense
Assuming Goalofsson puts up 20-29 goals this year and that a 2 year deal still leaves him a RFA I would be happy with a 2 year bridge @ 3.5 mil per. Then we can extend him for that 7-8 years. As much as we want to get him signed for 8 years next summer at a team friendly contract you can't force a player to sign a deal. VO likely does not want a long term deal right away anyway he will pull a Sam and push for a bridge so he can bet on himself to earn a big time deal.
That being said if Olofsson becomes a Skinner type player I would be ecstatic getting him for 8 years at 6-7 mil per. I think VO is going to be a 35-25-60 type player which should help us during negotiations. He likely doesn't rack up the assists necessary to be a 70+ point player but even if he is a 30-20 player that is still a high end goal scorer
I could careless if he gets the Calder or not, and I’m sure he could careless either.To be heard VERY SOON around league.
“That Olofsson on Buffalo is 24 and should not be considered a rookie of the year candidate.”
Who would like to take bets these words will be widespread in 2020?
I think he's gonna be my next jersey purchase, the 68 looks so sick.
I have been most impressed by his effort away from the puck, as well as his willingness to fight for it.
He's right behind Dahlin and Reinhart for my next jersey purchase. Not getting those until next year though.
Yeah I'm thinking I'll wait for royal blue to come back before I buy another sweater. Those 50th anniversary jerseys are slick, though.
Couple days ago a guy had a new Dahlin size 50 for $150. It looked legit, and he's sold tons of authentic pucks/cards. It was just a little too small for me.Yeah I'm thinking I'll wait for royal blue to come back before I buy another sweater. Those 50th anniversary jerseys are slick, though.
Seeing as how he probably gets a bonus for winning a Calder trophy, I’d bet he cares a little bit.I could careless if he gets the Calder or not, and I’m sure he could careless either.

I liked the 50th too much to wait
