Team: 2020-21 Buffalo Sabres

Initial Creation Date: Oct. 13, 2020

Published: Oct. 13, 2020

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

I think these lines give Buffalo the most balance. Skinner needs to play with Eichel if hes going to score 30-40 goals. Hall can drive his line and with Staal and Thompson it gives Thompson some veterans to play with. I believe Mittelstadt can play 3C this year. Put Olofsson and Reinhart on his wings and he can make the plays to get the puck to Olofsson and Reinhart can make the plays or score the goals. Each line has a rookie on it with 2 veterans to create a nice balance through the top 3 lines. With this lineup, they should be able to get scoring throughout the lineup and compete every single night.

We aren't trading people we signed THIS week. No other UFA would ever sign with us.

Also, skinner scored 30 goals 3 times without eichel and 204 goals as a cane.

Im using last year as an example for Skinner. Good point, i just had no else to trade in this scenario without giving up a significant player

apparently, it's escaped your notice that Arizona is trying to shed cap and salary.

You ever see one done in the NHL? (Pssst isn't doesn't happen)

Let alone two by one team. Ever heard of common sense?

I'd rather have Cozens at 3C and Mitts traded. He doesn't fit in our lineup
