Victor Olofsson, renowned for his offensive prowess, finds himself under the spotlight due to a dip in performance this season, raising questions about his future with the team.

With only four goals to his name and a significant $4.7 million cap hit, Olofsson's trade prospects appear challenging, potentially leaving waivers or alternative career paths such as returning to Sweden or playing in the AHL as viable options.

Meanwhile, goaltender Eric Comrie's status within the organization has also come into question.

Harrington suggests that the impending return of Zemgus Girgensons might prompt the Sabres to consider placing Comrie on waivers, adding further intrigue to the team's decision-making process.

So far this season, the 28-year-old holds a .863 SV%, 4.01 GAA, and a 1-5 record over seven starts.
