Adios, and good riddance.

Next year's QB class is being described as being "historically weak". Time to make hay is this year.

I think that Baptiste and ERod would make a great start to a third line. They'd need a more defensive veteran though, to make sure they stay a little responsible.

And since Mittelstadt will most likely be there, Baptiste bumps down the 4th line. There's very few good defensive forwards on this team.

Unless Buffalo picks up a top-six winger or two in the offseason, I feel like Mittelstadt starts on the wing next season because who else is there?

Maybe. It comes down to the question of being right about knowing which one of these guys are legit and which are not. I don't trust any of these gm's to get that right.

I think it's more likely E-Rod or Larsson (if kept) is shifted to the wing than Mittelstadt.

Reinhart, Okposo, Pominville all are ahead of him on rw. I hope they move either Reinhart or Okposo, or use Baptiste to package Bogo.

As it is, Baptiste is wasted here

Should 29 really be ahead of him though? Pommer started the season hot, but showed his age as it got later and later. Baptiste may not be as defensively sound as Pominville, but I'd still rather see him on the 3rd line if anything to show what he's capable of.

He should have played the last 10 games with Eichel instead of Pominville. Idk what the hell Housley was doing

I'd love to see Buffalo do something like this next season, assuming nobody is traded:

xxxx - Eichel - Reinhart
xxxx - ROR - Okposo
Erod - Mittelstadt - Baptiste

A scenario where ROR gets the tougher minutes and the other two lines just score. Seems like we are a little short in the LW department, though.

Housley shuffles his lines non-stop, the combos he doesn't use say a lot.

Yeah LW is really the issue. I wonder if Okposo can switch, I believe he did at times in NY but not sure of how successful that was or not. I'm thinking more of a fast and slow line for 1/2, then give Mittelstadt the best of what's left.

Nylander Jack Baptiste
Okposo RoR Reinhart
E-Rod Mittelstadt Pommer
Girgs Asplund/Malone/Blackwell Wilson

Nylander and Baptiste are too high in the lineup, but I think their speed could help solidify a good scoring line. Jack can carry.

This might be the most exciting draft of all time or the biggest fluke ever Lol

Not a huge fan of USC QB's. Many turn into busts, not sure why, if it's the system or what.

I get it, but what other options do we really have? Okposo can't keep up with Eichel, so where else is he going to go? We are sorta handcuffed up top for the foreseeable future.
