While Buffalo Sabres winger Victor Olofsson put up 28 goals this past season, he became expendable. Here is why trading him makes sense.
There are numerous ways the Buffalo Sabres can sell winger Victor Olofsson’s services to other NHL franchises, despite his overall ineffectiveness in most areas of the game that doesn’t involve scoring. And despite his scoring 28 goals in 2022-23, moving Olofsson makes sense for the Blue and Gold on many fronts.
While doing so will make the team younger and more inexperienced, they will be better off in the not-so-distant future despite giving up a winger who has seen time in 263 contests.
