Buffalo ranked 23rd among all NHL teams allowing an average of 33 shots against per game.
Buffalo was one of the worst PK teams last year ranking 23rd over all in the NHL.
Last year Toews and Compher won 59% and 51.4% of their FO respectively, Buffalo was the worse FO team in the NHL last year ranking 32nd.
Asplund - Mittelstadt - Thompson closed out the 2020-21 season on a roll, replacing Asplund with Iafallo (born just 20 minutes from KeyBank Center) should provide good defensive skills and more offense next year.
Puljujarvi on the top line to provide defense for Skinner and Thompson
Tuch on the second line to provide veteran leadership for Cozens and Mittelstadt.
Toews and Iafallo provide veteran leadership for Quinn.
Compher centers the teams checking line.
Mrazek starts the season in Rochester and will be brought up if either Anderson or Luukkonen are injured.

There are many options for the defensive pairing this is only one of them.

You know, if you're going to take trade ideas from other AGMs, at least read through the comment section of the AGMs you take from to see how the trade was received before adding it to yours. That EDM trade was rightfully panned as awful for EDM.

So by this logic I could make a Buffalo AGM trading Tuch for Pulijiarvi and since it came from a Buffalo AGM it’ll be realistic for Oilers fans to make the same trade?
