Sabres’ Victor Olofsson calls himself ‘more of a threat’ at right wing

‘Olofsson might shift to right wing in 2021 because the Sabres’ top six at left wing is likely set with Hall and Jeff Skinner. Although Olofsson has not played his off side full-time since his career in the Swedish Hockey League, he told reporters that he’s “very comfortable” at right wing because he’s accustomed to being there on the power play.’

How the Sabres made the sales pitch that landed Taylor Hall

‘When Adams was done detailing how he planned to include veterans such as Hall in future decision-making, Kim Pegula then reaffirmed ownership’s commitment to Buffalo.’

Sabres’ Victor Olofsson eager to build on standout rookie season

‘“I feel like two years was a good time to get relaxed and I know what’s going to happen the next two years. I don’t really have that pressure of playing for a new contract right away. It feels really good.”’

Olofsson wants to be bigger offensive threat for Sabres

‘”I feel like even though I’m very comfortable and confident playing in the NHL, I haven’t had a full season yet, and I want to show myself and prove to everybody that I’m a really good player in the NHL,” Olofsson said on Friday in a Zoom conference call with the Buffalo media. “I felt like two years was a good time to kind of get relaxed, and know what’s going to happen for the next two years and not have that pressure for playing for a new contract right away. It feels really good.”‘

Ullmark: ‘It’s always the time to prove myself’

‘”It’s always the time to prove myself,” Ullmark said. “It doesn’t matter if I’m on a one[-year], two[-year], three[-year] or a long-[term] deal. It doesn’t take away the things that I need to do every day to prove myself as being a starting goaltender in this league.”‘

Olofsson: “I feel like two years is the perfect deal for me right now”

‘”They’ve been playing at a top level for very long. They’re really good additions to our team,” Olofsson said. “I think we have more guys that can put up some points and I feel like we’re going to be a better team for sure this year. It feels a little bigger and a little heavier with those guys.”‘

Sabres forward Sam Reinhart feels ‘comfortable’ signing a short-term deal but wants to be here ‘long-term’

‘“I think every player in the times right now would be open to a long-term deal. Unfortunately that’s not always the case and that’s not always available so I’m certainly comfortable playing on short-term deals like this, I always have so this is just another one,” Reinhart said.’

Olofsson focused on improvement following ‘life-changing’ contract

‘”I want to prove myself in the upcoming years here and I’m just really excited to be part of this organization. I think we’re building something great here, so it’s going to be a good start to this journey.”‘
