Why The Sabres Should Not Trade Victor Olofsson

Despite scoring a career-high of 28 goals this year, Sabres' right winger Victor Olofsson had a tough end of the season – he scored just five goals from January 28th to the end of the season, and, as a result, was benched for one game in March before sitting for the entirety of a five-game stretch in April. Because of this, Sabres GM Kevyn Adams has made it clear that Olofsson is on the trading block. First things first: there absolutely is (or should be) a market for Olofsson. Pure goal scorers are a commodity in today's NHL, and Olofsson has been nothing if not consistent in that endeavor, scoring sub-20 goals only one season in his career – the COVID-19 shortened year.
