VICTOR OLOFSSON - Right Winger - 23 - $.767MM Cap Hit - RFA in 2020-2021
LAST UPDATED 6/23/19
A lethal goal scorer, Olofsson scored 30 goals (and had 63 points) in only 66 games for AHL Rochester, and in his brief time in the NHL he looked right in his element, potting 2 goals (and 4 points) in his 6 game cup of coffee, without even getting the benefit of a limited sample size-caused inflated shooting percentage, as his 9.5% shooting percentage is totally sustainable, if not unsustainably low. Olofsson has the raw shooting talent and offensive instincts to be a 30 goal scorer at the NHL level, he just needs a center or other winger that's able to give him chances to finish. Olofsson's a triggerman, and while he showcased decent playmaking ability in the AHL it's his shot that'll give him value in the NHL. His defense is still a work in progress, but even if he's more of a liability on that end he's still going to bring immense value with his shot, as long as his coach utilizes him correctly. Going forward, it's still up in the air if Olofsson will be able to translate his AHL success to the NHL, but with that talent, betting against him is dangerous, and Buffalo could have a surprise 30 goal top-6 winger on their hands.
