REPORT: Sabres Will Cut Ties With Star Winger
Earlier today, the Buffalo Sabres' management confirmed some major news about one of their best players.
Major Development in Buffalo
The future of the Sabres is bright. They could surprise many as soon as next season.
They have a lot of talent in the organization, and many young players are pushing to reach the top.
This could force the hand of the Sabres' GM, Kevyn Adams, to trade more experienced players and acquire interesting assets in return.
They have made a major decision regarding one of them.
The Sabres Make a Decision on an Important Veteran
"Despite his impressive performance last season, where he achieved a career-high of 28 goals, the team has chosen not to pursue a contract extension with him at this time.
This move suggests that Olofsson's time with the Sabres may be coming to an end, and he could be exploring other options as an unrestricted free agent after the upcoming season." - James Wilson
Olofsson had a great season last year, tallying 28 goals and ending the season in the fifth position among scorers in Buffalo.
This shows that they trust their young players like
Zach Benson, Jiri Kulich, and Noah Ostlund to develop into great scorers who will eventually lead the team in the playoffs for the first time since 2011.
