I don't think anybody on this board or in the NHL circles thought he would light it up like that

I would also love vanek for the 3rd line he was my favorite player

But I don't think it would be a smart idea to have pominville and Vanek on the same line
You would have to get rid of pominville in my opinion

If we were to sign Vanek, could always play him on a line with two speed guys. Boeser didn’t falter playing with him all season long.

Vanek-Eichel-Bailey
?-ROR-Reinhart
?-Mittelstadt-Okposo
Baptiste-?-Pominville

I have no problem bringing Vanek back and i'm no fan of bringing back ex Sabres. Vanek and Miller I would make an exception.

The jbotts connection
Pommer connection
Buffalo connection ( retire a sabre?)

Our need for a LW that can score
Veteran with 900 nhl games experience
Free agent- no assets no give up
Inexpensive
What other 60 point guy would choose here?

Maybe he can change the culture

Botts needs to fill in those question marks I had left out. Guys like Smith and Nylander can step up hopefully. If not I’m assuming we are looking at the minimum 2LW’s (only one if you bring Vanek back) and a 4C

What would be more shocking; Sabres trade Eichel instead of ROR or draft one of the wingers instead of Dahlin #1 overall?

don't be so sure that Nylander will be here, that's up for debate as of now.

I like your layout:

Vanek fits on line 2 or 3 too. I know he's slow, but he is a proven goal scorer

They pass on dahlin seams less likely.

After seeing jack up close, who knows what level of jerk he is, in the lockerroom / off the ice

I also forgot to throw Erod in there on one of the wings. It could look like this:

Erod/Vanek-Eichel-Bailey
?-ROR-Reinhart
Erod/Vanek-Mittelstadt-Okposo
Baptiste-?-Pominville.

Reilly Nash would be perfect for the 4th line Centre role but I imagine he will have no shortage of suitors this offseason.

ERod’s out? I like ERod with Eichel. Vanek would work better with ROR and Samsonite. Need to find the sniper for Eichel’s line. Mantha or Atkinson.

I'd love him back if for no other reason than I have two vanek jerseys. A white 🐐 head and a blue modern

I have a bunch Larson is gone ,but girgs is back at 4c. Maybe malone beats him out?

Looking for top 6 forward and a good goalie.

85-95 points.

That 3rd line with van-mitts-okposo

That's nice
