An outside look of BUF line-up - am I far off

Description
Capitals is my team, but what fun is it to be interested in the league if you don't have a decent idea of your opponents?

This is my outside look for the Buffalo line-up. Is it reasonable or do you - fans of the team - or do you see other likely line combinations or pairings at defense? Who's got that special chemistry with another players etc.

Seems to be a log jam on defense, despite injuries to Hunwick and Pilut. Looking around, it seems many of you sees/wants a trade, mainly of Ristolainen. Anyway, I have left him in the line-up for now.

"Ouch!" is the first that comes to mind when I see Okposo's contract. Sobotka's isn't funny either, but at least that's only one year left.

Comments?

LTIR for Bogosian?
Dahlin/Montour as 1st pairing and McCabe/Ristolainen as 2nd then? Or do you play Dahlin and Ristolainen together?

I'd also switch reino and olofsson, but other than that and the above you did a decent job.

Go Caps, Go Ovi
Not bad. I Know that I could not do as well for the Caps.
HUGE logjam on defense, but for the first time in forever, the Sabres have 5 or even 6 solid NHL defensemen, we may see a RHD playing on the left side. The Sabres do not have cap issues so if there is a trade it will be in October.
While I like the idea of not pairing Dahlin and Ristolainen, I think Dahlin will be the #1 LHD, so just swap the pairings.
I am most likely a minority of 1 but IMO Okposo needs to get more quality ice time, He got 14 goals playing with Larsson, Girgensons, Sobotka and Mittelstadt.
I hope you are right about Olofsson, but time will tell.
