Hanifin isn’t good on the right side
And Power doesn’t need a high priced partner,
just a solid guy like Samuelsson

In 2026 Kulich will be playing on the top line, Tuch will not be 3rd line, he would still be our best RW. If we keep Rosen he'd be playing over Girgensons. A guy like Wahlberg would be in the NHL or very nearly and he'd be playing 3rd line center. Also Benson would have to have a spot.

LOL too many good prospects and not enough rosters. We need a 2nd team in Buffalo
