Description

They draft Perfetti at #8, but not sure if he is ready to play in the NHL yet. However, if he is where does he fit in??
Or if they don't draft Perfetti at #8, then who??

The Tavares trade helps Buffalo's centre depth that is ready to play. Its a loss with Eichel, but he is signalling a need for change and previous management...well, Okposo and Skinner...need I say more, plus trading Kane and ROR...like WTF. And both Tavares and Kerfoot (though he isn't the greatest) add to the teams ability to win faceoffs. Buffalo sucks in the circle. The defense lines are balanced so that Dahlin can play with a more defensively sound partner in Montour. Sign Edmunson and pair him with Jokiharu. Trade McCabe. Vesey is starting to improve. Maroon and Grant come in to bring some grit for a 4th line that can put in some points. And once Hutton is done or even part way through the season you bring in Luukkonen.
