Victor Olofsson Ready for North America

There’s another new Swede in town, and his name isn’t Rasmus Dahlin - it’s Victor Olofsson.

Olofsson, 22, is set to come over to North America this fall for his first professional season of hockey in the United States - and it should be a good one for the Buffalo Sabres prospect.

At this point, it’s uncertain where exactly Olofsson will be playing come October; it’s possible he’ll end up in Rochester with the Amerks, but some say he could fight for a spot in Buffalo, too.

The 2014 draft pick was signed by Buffalo earlier this year, a move that allowed the NHL team to maintain his rights.
