Description
Mittelstadt is best when he has good shooters with him. I know every center is, but those small area passes he makes are his unique skill and compliments Skinner and Tuch well. I also feel like Tuch and Thompson score in similar ways so as good as they are together, maybe keeping them apart could make us better in the long run. Peterka and Quinn are going to be really good next year, and I feel like Krebs passing ability will compliment them well. And we have the pieces currently for a 4th line and good depth forward. The Savoie situation is a bummer though. I'd really like to see him in Rochester next season.

Interesting line Combos, don't think I would have Kulich on the 4th line.

True, but Granato plays all four lines. They’d still get good run and can be shielded a bit. Plus, I want Savoie and Kulich practicing together.

I don't know why Olofson to NSH became the new Kerfoot to NSH, but I'm over it.

Really poor power play. Olofsson can help that. I think they’ll get a trade partner somewhere with retained salary. And it’s a low 3rd. Relax.

@ashleyschaeffer excellent obsevation.
There was a 20 game stretch from October 25 to December that Casey was just deplorable.
Over those 20 games he had just 4 goals, 8 pts and was -16.
While the last 7 games have been remarkable scoring 2 goals, setting up an additional 9 with a +6 rating, removing those 20 games leaving 48 games with 8 goals, 45 pts and +6.
Those are first line stats in this league scoring nearly a pt/gm.
Jeff-Casey-Alex is certainly humming while the Tage-Dylan-Jordan line is doing just fine as well.
BTW over his last 2 games Casey has won 15 of his 28 FO and over his last 10 games he has 10 take aways while giving up the puck only 5 times, giving him 2.0 tk/gv ratio the best on the team.
Who would have thought that he would have more pts this year than his previous 3 years combined?
Do you think we can finally remove the BUST LABEL FROM HIS NAME?
It will be an interesting off season if Savoie and Kulich have a huge training camp.
Olofsson may have played his last game as a Sabre, but there may be many other changes as well.

I certainly hope Ryan Johnson signs with the Sabres.

Interesting line Combos, don't think I would have Kulich on the 4th line. Probably not, but this is just for fun. Jost has been centering Quinn and Peterky over the last 3 games also.


EDIT: IMO Carolina may be a good final resting spot for Olofsson.
Poor PP and could use another scoring winger.
