Is Olofsson a sell high???

[Lumpy Grits]

HeÂ’s been pretty consistent all year, and the advanced stats suggest that itÂ’s sustainable. .83ppg. Probably a top 5 shot release in the NHL. From what IÂ’ve read from Sabres fans, he is showing visible improvement at 5 on 5, and at his all around game in general. HeÂ’s a rookie, so you would obviously think that thereÂ’s room for progression.

But part of me is thinking that he is a 24 year old rookie... a 7th round pick... not very traditional. It makes me question how high his ceiling could be. Also, while he seems to be a safe bet for PP1, I donÂ’t know if he sticks with Eichel for seasons to come, and if he doesnÂ’t, how much will he drop off?

What IÂ’m considering is packaging him in a deal for either Kakko or B. Tkachuk, who could be buy low candidates with higher ceilings.

So what do you think about Olofsson?

I like your thinking. I do think he's at least somewhat for real, so could help you net a better talent buying low.

I think he's been a sell high all year, although you'll you've already missed out on a really good sell high.

I agree. He was a sell high earlier in the season. I'd try and get Tkachuk or Kakko for him just the same.

People don’t think he’s a potential keeper?

On my team I’ve got (with keeper cost in brackets) Fox (18), Bertuzzi (12), Tuch (18), Vrana (18), Eichel (5) and Wheeler (4) as most likely keepers and thinking Olof might challenge one of those guys.

He’d only cost me an 18th rounder to keep and he’s looked consistent all year.

Missed out? He has 6 points in his last 3 games and 16 points in his last 15. He didn't run hot and then cool down recently, so I don't think anything has been missed. He's also only gone longer than 1 game without a point TWICE so far (2 games once and 3 games once). He's as steady as they come so far, and while everyone is for sale at the right price I'm not actively looking to move him in my league.

It depends on how many one keeps & the rules. In your format, definite keeper option.

For the OP, he might be the #8 keeper in pure value, but that's 4 RW keeper out of 10, and that's too loaded at one spot, unless it's D in a 6 D league.

Tried Olofsson+D. Strome for Kakko with no luck. (only 100 keepers in league, so Strome is not too valuable)

Anyways, have no problem keeping Olofsson. Eichel/Olofsson/Reinhart is really producing right now, so there is no incentive for the coaches to move Olofsson from it, or from the top PP.

If anyone gets a chance, try to catch a BUF game and watch Olofsson. He looks really, really legit.

I’m not surprised u can’t lan huge name like kakko..u maybe able to land first rounder however....I think olaffson will be a steady 60 points guy for years to come....I would keep him

But in a 100-keeper league, where 7 of 10 teams are contending, Kakko isn’t really that huge. Neither are 60 pt guys.

As far as Olofsson goes though... I’d put him as a 70-75 pt guy. He’s pacing for 70 in his first year in the NHL.
