Doubt we see olofsson in a Sabres uniform after the July draft.


But he had value crowd....

Healthy scratch and all....


Maybe a 2nd...

Not trying to be snarky, but I hope not. Other guys deserve those minutes. I'd take whatever we could get.

We'll see soon enough. Will be impressed if they get value out of it.

Buyout window is roughly 6/15-6/30. I think you have to go that route if you can't get anything for him.

- Lunaion


That's an interesting strategy. The buy out.

Probably a smart move, but not for a team with cap room.

Also , how many 28 goal scorers have no value?

I'm thinking a greenway package type value. 2 and 5...

I've always liked olofsson, but we have better talent behind him. Nice time to be a Sabres fan....

Congratulations on tickets to the jags game overseas.
That's gonna be a good game and a fun time.

Unfair disadvantage, not sure if you caught it. Jags play the week before as well, Bill's travel across the world for a team waiting for them....

I'm aiming for the dolphins game in week 18.

Easy, peasy in comparison.

Nothing has ever been normal with VO, always at his best or worst. Timing couldn't get much worse.

In fairness, Adams should have been fired for not going out and getting a legitimate NHL goalie and a RD at the trade deadline.
- RichardRoma


That's funny right there. Did you not listen to anything Adams said for the last few years. He was NEVER going to get a high priced goalie, we was just trying to get through a few years to get to Devon Levi.

That should of been apparent to all when the sign a 41 year old (Anderson), a career back up (Commie) and a young player (UPL)

I bet they can get a 2nd for Olo. 28 goals is a good amount of goals.

I love the thought of punting seasons away because a goalie prospect might be good. Just top notch planning

Agreed on Olo, and that was why I prefaced. I was a big fan of his when he first got here, just didn't take that next step in puck control/distribution.

I didn't see that, but not surprised. Final week should be fun and if recent history holds true, you'll get to watch us win, if not absolutely destroy them. Personally, I think the Jets overtook them this year for biggest competition. Hbu?

I'm pretty sure a team would take a chance on a 26 year old nhl 28 goal scorer.

Definitely takes a huge value hit, getting benched when it's the most important time.

I really do not see the Sabres buying him out?
Maybe get him going early and move him while his value is up?

I can't believe KA thinks that much differently about olo, the same guy he gave 2 for 9+ million less then a year ago.

Yeah 100% the jets and Rodgers scare me as a Bill's fan.

Jets have a legit defense, skilled positions (fantasy football) and an up and coming coach.

Seems like a split 1-1.

When's the last season we thought the jets were our #1 competitors in the division? đź‘€

if you are scared of the jets, IMO you don't think the bills are a super bowl team

Vinny Testaverde was the QB. I'm an encyclopedia of Bills knowledge. Noone ever said its easy being the #1 Fan.

Homie and Broads dream they had my football acumen. Especially fantasy football.

What’s the over/under that fans hear at the beginning of training camp and the roster is still the same:

“We looked at a lot options, tried to make deals but they take time”

Imagine we get completely different messages out of 2x9m. That was a very hesitant move to me and set up to move him at a better time. They had that opportunity at the TDL and didn't take it. Now they have to accept defeat and get anything they can or just cut ties.

If you're willing to retain to move him, that's just a small step away from buying him out, if it comes to that.

Btw Timo Meier that a lot of people complained about Adams not getting.

4 points in 11 playoff games.

Chicken running man got hurt and literally did nothing for the sens


Fire Adams! Let’s go! (Sarcasm)

- Sabretooth9

Yes cause Timo might not have done anything here, and Chychrun might not have gotten slew footed and got injured here!! Sound like Boss

Timo is a grit guy obviously, lacks the talent to crack the Sabres lineup obviously.

I can personally guarantee you that Olofsson will not be bought out by the Buffalo Sabres.

Think we need a contest to see who can get there nose farther up Adams A$$ on this board. There's a couple on here with permanent brown spots.

Eh. It's an 11 game sample size vs hundreds in the regular season where he produces
- sbroads24


He still had strong offensive driving numbers. That trade is worth it's salt if he re-signs.
