With Levi as the backup Lankinen is not needed.

Hakanpaa is an interesting idea i haven’t seen before,
especially if we strike out on guys like Roy, DeMelo, etc

I’d prefer him in the 3rd pair, instead of 2nd
But if Power takes a leap forward (like he should be ready to do), then that pair could work out nicely

Imo Krebs just doesn't have it as 3C. Do Jokiharju + a 3rd / 4th for Jack Drury

As a Sabres fan, I’d rather Levi spend the year playing 60games as the starter in AHL
I think that would be better for his development
