If neither Savoie nor Kulich are quite ready for the NHL, sign Tatar to fill the 3RW role.

After Quinn gets healthy, as well as has a conditioning stint, we likely dump Jost and sit Olofsson

If the goaltending can hold up and they get good health on the backend, think they make the playoffs. Forward depth is fantastic

How knows, as good as a prediction as any insider sport writer could conjure.

EDIT:
"we likely dump Jost and sit Olofsson"
If Victor, Kulich and Savoir are doing well, trade Olofsson and Jost while promoting Juri and Matthew.

I don't think the Sabres are interested in helping out the Leafs in any way, shape or form. And neither am I.
