At least the defense looks pretty good?
And every other line was a disaster anyway

The only place he couldn't score was here. He put up 29 goals over 168 games over parts of 3 seasons
The year after in Columbus he scored 30 in 68 games

In his defense, At that Time Buffalo played a very defensive style of hockey.

Can they score 3 goals? Kinda doubt it unless the top line/or the D scores.

Doesn't look good

What if they score 9

What if Reinhart is solid, at best?

2nd line wingers.

That issue wS encountered by a multitude of players who came to the Sabres mid-career. They score everywhere but here.
It is why I'm so happy with Skinner...
Now if Botts could find 2 solid RWs who could pot 20-25 consistently.

Just curious if Reinhart Eichel, Skinner score like this for the entire season. Who really cares who is "Carrying" the line.

they are scoring, isn't that what you want?

If they can shed Okposo I have no issue giving Reinhart 6MM a year.

Reinhart(6) - Eichel(10.5) - Skinner (8.25)

Per daily faceoff Reinhart is #23 RW. That puts him in the 5.25-5.5 salary range and based on inflation it sits at 6, IMO.

Actually that’s a pretty sold DCore in my estimation.

The forwards after the 1st line are expansion team quality. We need help there, bad.

Girgs and Erod need to go back to the 4th line. They were money in that role with Larsson. Okposo has lost a step. Thompson needs to be in Roch.

Only 2 that should stay in the mix for the middle 6 are Mitts (cut him some slack..he's a rookie) and Sheary. Im fine with Sobotka on the 3rd line for now.

The faster Scandella and Okposo are shipped out of here the better this team will be over the haul.

And if u think JBotts is gonna get antsy and start trading away top picks/prospects for temporary help you're dead wrong.

We can whine all day about the middle six...but JBotts isn't gonna rush this.

Disagree, both are 3rd line players right now.

Mittlestadt has been pretty bad this year. He needs less ice time and to be protected.
Sheary has been less than advertised. He needs a center to play with.

SHeary-mittlestadt - Guy wouldnt be a bad 3rd line, just need a 2nd line to come in and compete.

Need to somehow get rid of Okposo.
