I could easily live with this lineup. But that’s a lot of moving parts and no bjustead. Lol

Victor Olofsson - Jack Eichel - Jesper Fast

Jeff Skinner - Phillip Danault - Sam Reinhart

Dominik Kahun - Andrew Copp - Dylan Cozens

Curtis Lazar - Arttu Ruotsalainen - big Larry


Rasmus Dahlin - T.J. Brodie

Vince Dunn - Henri Jokiharju

Jake McCabe - Will Borgen

Goalies

Linus Ullmark

Aaron Dell

- Gr8daygo

Yes a lot of moving parts, but really isn't out of wack like some stuff I have seen.

I guess it depends on how the pieces fit together.

- TheSabresTaco


He said Cozens shouldnt be untouchable because he traded Jerome Iginla to get Joe Nieuwendyk. He also pumped Domi's tires and said Calgary would need a haul for Monahan

From that article, Copp is solid and underrated defensively. And that line looks better than having mojo in the middle.

Danault is actually a center. Which is a positive.

I don’t know much about Fast but Hommie like him.

As for the defense, I guess a top pair guy for Dahlin and Dunn at 2Ld. The author backs it up with the fancy stats.

He admittedly thinks the 4th line is suspect and the goalies are the weakest link.

He also leaves $9 mill in room on the cap for joker and Dahlin next year.

I think it puts pieces in a better position to succeed than what we currently have.

Little morning read for the Pro-Larrys

https://www.expectedbuffa...bres-more-than-you-think/

Caution: May trigger Anti-Larrys

- TheSabresTaco


Most important part:

Unlike the majority of their unrestricted free agents, the Sabres would like to keep Larsson around. Unfortunately, the feeling doesn’t appear to be mutual. As I’ve shared before, I’ve been told by team sources that Larsson would like to explore his options on the open market and would prefer a new opportunity.

Fast had 20 goals TOTAL in the last 2 seasons playing over 60 games in each. He has no business playing with Eichel over Reinhart. Waste of money and time.

A top 3 Center core of Eichel, Danault, and Copp is light years better than anything they've had in a long time.

Pairing Dunn with Jokiharju is smart as they could receive more neutral zone starts. Dunn has been deployed in mostly offensive zone starts, and Jokiharju can help him defensively.

The article, for reference:

- jcragcrumple


I mean, sure, if we're trading Cozens for Pastrnak or Kucherov I'd surely listen.


I don't think Monahan is worth 'a haul' but I also think he's more valuable to Calgary than he is in a vacuum.

Domi is a peculiar care. Is he a better C or LW? I've seen both cases argued. Is he 18-19 Domi or 19-20 Domi? What does he need around him to succeed?

Better linemates by the research I did. He also seems to feel more comfortable at Center.

Button is adamant he's a center. Specifically a second line center. He's better in space where he can create. Said the habs would either be looking for younger, proven defensemen or gritty wingers. Sabres could help with the first part. Not so much the second.

His best year by far was at wing. He's an average center. We'd push him down the lineup the moment he could and he's gonna command a 6-7 mil cap hit, and that's being conservative.


Hard no on Domi

His 72 point year was at wing.

The years where his teams have tried to trade him have been at center.

See, even here people can't agree what position he should play. Analytics twitter say he's a better winger.
