nfreeman Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 I think there's a more-than-negligible chance that he stays on the top line for the bulk of the season and scores over 25 goals. For a 2014 7th-round pick in his 1st NHL season, that would be freaking fantastic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
French Collection Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 It looks like he is being given a great opportunity on the top line. I think 25-30 is within reach if he stays there. His 30 in the AHL are against weaker competition, but he did not have a guy like Jack feeding him either. The Sabres PP will be improved and VO’s skills will be a part of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure Sabres organization trainers were on the training staffs of the teams he played for in the SHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not. They aren’t on the Sudbury Wolves staff either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 How GOOD can he be? How good CAN he be? How good can HE be? "How good can he BEEEEEEEEEE? Good, scary good, and Victor Olofsson with that rocket has launched the Buffalo Sabres into the playoffs, at long last!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunomatic Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 My expectation for VO is huge which i’ll try to dial back but as far as weapons are concerned he’ll give our PP some swagger. There should be a noticeable difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, when is the last time we successfully drafted outside of the first two rounds? We are so unbelievably overdue for this... However, this deeply cynical Sabres fan refuses to get excited about any highly touted prospect anymore until proven on the ice for at least a full season. I'm completey done with the prospect hype machine that is constantly running in order to generate any excitement for this otherwise completely garbage franchise. Still waiting on Mittelstadt to stop playing Fortnite and work on obtaining his first career pushup. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
