Sabres fans are going to be really disappointed if they think Kulikov is a top pairing D. He's barely proven himself to be top 4.

Switch Girgensons and Ennis.
Replace Guhle with Nelson.
Replace Schneider with Bailey.

Most probably don't think that. So no worries.

No one thinks he is but truthfully on this defense he has to be in the top 4... Until better comes along.

Ennis needs to be a center of attention guy on his line and with Eichel, Kane or ROR he can't be so make him a third line center. Guhle is better than Nelson and will make the team this year, would have last year if he didn't get hurt. And lastly why put Bailey in the press box every night when you can have him play top line minutes in Rochester? Makes no sense.

Ennis needs to play on 1st or 2nd line to use his skill properly. I see him playing with O'Reilly and Okposo. I also see Sam, Jack, and Kane playing on the same line now weather Ryan's line or Jack's line is the 1st or 2nd doesn't bother me but from past performance thats the way I see it broken up. On Guhle, yes he is better then Nelson but Guhle is a Left Defensemen, so why would you bring him up and burn a year of his contract to play on the other side? I actually see Bailey staring over Fasching but it will be who ever has a better camp.
