Quoting: Lunatik
Olofsson is only more productive because he gets top PP minutes at ES he was less productive despite playing more. In Calgary Olofsson wouldn't get top PP minutes, thus he'd end up being less productive overall. As for "possession", I don't give two ****s until they start measuring it in time like it should be.
At best it is a lateral move with up to double the cap hit, It's a bad move, but I'm not surprised you'd support a bad trade.
So you'd argue that Olofsson's increased playing time is the reason he has significantly less giveaways last season? Points per 60, Olofsson still out produced. Over the last three seasons Olofsson out produced Dube at even strength in less games, and significantly out produced him on the power play, it's almost as if a team in the bottom third of the league in PP% like the Flames could use a guy who plays a ton of PP time, would be far better than Dube, Lucic, Backlund on the second unit.
Dube's stats could even be inflated compared to Olofsson cause he didn't have to play in Buffalo, this statistically, even the basic ones that you can understand was Olofsson's worst season and Dube's best, Olofsson was better..
The CapFriendly circle jerk Flames fans will continue to wank though!
