Hmm, cheap impo. Unless you believe Raty is a 1st line guy, which I don't. 

Some are really high on him still aren't they? 

I remember his name around here.

Horvat's a good player and he's having his best season, but I don't think he's enough to get the Isles past the Caps, Penguins, Panthers, and Sabres.

It's cute though, to see the old man try like that

That's a great trade for the Islanders. 

They have a great goalie in Sorokin, a team defense approach, and just added a guy who does everything well. 

They're not done yet, plenty of hockey left. 

And for some reason they always seem to sneak into the playoffs. I wouldn't write that team off

So Raty probably falls in between Kulich and Rosen, the 1sts are virtually identical and Beauvillier is Olofsson.

Say what now?

Well since you disagree with me I'll just say...

I think by cap hit/contact similarity, 3rd line wingers.

VO 4.75 through next season UFA; Beauvillier 4.15 through next season UFA. VO obviously provides more goals.

Sorry was Olofsson 6 weeks ago 😁 

Aha. Yes, remove VO's hot streak and he'd look quite similar stat-wise.

Remove Tage Thompson's scoring ability and he'd be exactly like a 3rd line player. See how silly saying this stuff is?

Like he said, Beauvillier and Olofsson are both middle-six wingers roughly similar in age and salary.

Prior to this season:

Beauvillier had 39, 28 (injured) and 34 points.

Olofsson had 42, 32 and 49.

I’d prefer Olofsson, but anyone who’s read Sabrespace is familiar with the holes in his game.

The comparison isn’t “silly”. Maybe Mitts is a better match, but it’s one or the other in terms of Sabres comparables.
