Victor Olofsson has been touted as the Buffalo Sabres best sleeper pick in years. As a former 7th round pick in the 2014 draft, Olofsson is a product of the Tim Murray regime, but at a ripe age of 23 years old, he has taken the long road to developing into an NHL player. It’s not often that picks from the 7th round pan out into anything, but Olofsson is showing that the slow path is still a good path.
After leading the SHL in goals last season with 27, and playing alongside current Sabres defenseman Rasmus Dahlin on the Frolunda Indians, Olofsson showed off his true skills as a goal scorer.
