I know you are working with what they have, and the Larry's are effective for what they are asked to do. But asking your 2nd line to do that is upside down to me.
Maybe break up the Larry's for L2 as Mojo/Olafsson - The real Larry - Kahun
L3 is Olafsson/Mojo - Cozens - Okposo/ Simmonds
Fvck L4

I do like Cozens in the 3C position to see what we have

- IonSabres


I'm trying to be somewhat realistic while injecting some fun into the lineup with Cozens instead of Vesey or Frolik.

Realistically, I would see the first line playing about 22 minutes, with Eichel around 28 minutes (he needs to PK regularly in this 3 game series and play at least 80% of every powerplay).

The Larrys would end up playing 16-17 minutes in all likelihood

So then you have 2 4th lines essentially that you can play around with. Lazar would center one imo because he is our best player on the dot, and hopefully Cozens the other, because I would hope they realize they have nothing to lose

Don Luce gets in a fight, & the organist starts playing while they are throwing down😂. Luce later scores a goal. The Luuuuuuuuce call at the Aud. Game 2 of the '75 semis vs MTL.
Love Schoenfeld's toothless smile at the end.

so your kid is going to wear sandals in the water coming out ? I would say about 60% of the people don't wear sandals when they chill with their kids on the beach towels or
build sand castle ..

if he was an enforcer-type, or had any enforcer-type friends, there would be no need to go to the police (referees) with lies...but then again, those type players/friends, are out-dated...

or so i'm told

Ideally, but not likely as I highly doubt a CBO is coming to buyout Okposo.

Olofsson - Eichel - Reinhart
Skinner - Henrique - Kahun
Johansson - Soderberg/Cozens - Craig Smith/Cozens
Maroon - Larsson - Simmonds

The lineup is good, but holy poop it is expensive, lol.
Olo = 4.5m
Jack = 10.0m
Sam = 7.0m
Skinner = 9.0m
Henrique = 5.8m
Kahun = 2.7m
Mojo = 4.5
Soderberg. 4.75m/Cozens = 1.0m
Smith = 5.0m
Maroon = 0.9m
Larsson = 2.0m
Simmonds = 1.5m

~54m - 58m +/- on forwards.

Compared to relative cap strapped teams, for Forwards that puts the Sabres in Club House lead...not where you want to be for an emerging team...and fvcking old too boot.
Bolts have 52m
Leaf's at 53m
Caps at 51
Stars 48
Vegas at 46
Canucks at 46
Coyotes 42
Blues at 43m
Flyers 41
Bruins at 41

I know my work is incomplete, I only looked at 10 teams with lowest cap space

That’s right, I’m the ass man. Jealous? Take a sniff, loser. And John Jack sounds dumb. No offense.

Wikipedia says his birth name is "John Robert."

Just saying.

- Der Kaiser



Maybe we can make up a new name for him instead of. A-rod for Aaron Rodgers we can call him j-rob. Cause that’s what cool people like the big boss 34 would do.

I pretty much agree with all of that.

Let's suppose, hypothetically, the Sabres are involved in a 24-team playoff beginning in late June. By my calculations, Tage will be 5.5 months into a 5-6 month recovery time.

I'm going to assume Sobotka has no interest in returning, for the purposes of this discussion.

Here's my roster

Skinner-Eichel-Reinhart
Larry-Larry-Larry
Mojo-Cozens-Kahun
Olofsson-Lazar-Simmonds
Tage
Mittelstadt

Everyone else can hang out in the hotel.

- jcragcrumple


You’ve gotta be sh!tting me with that 4th line
Freaking awful
Olofsson will end up with about 2 even strength goals
