High Upside 3rd Line

Created by: JokiStan
Team: 2020-21 Buffalo Sabres
Initial Creation Date: Nov. 18, 2020
Published: Nov. 18, 2020
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Player Explanation:

Tage Thompson: Called up to play in a game last season but got hurt, since then has played significantly better in the AHL and produced at about point per game pace. Boy put on a TON of muscle and should be ready to make an impact

Ruotsalainen: leads the Liiga in points and is having a monster year there. Should be able to make the roster out of camp with his great speed and skill. Fully expect him to be on the roster and a surprise

Cozens: Most well known of these players, shredded the WHL last year with a combination of his Size, Speed, and playmaking. May start on the wing but should produce as a 3rd liner

That would be a killer 3rd line. Highly inexperienced though so that's risky for sure

I like it. If you have a bad game from them play them 10 minutes good games u could get 15/18.
Eichel line should play around 20 continue in order - 15 - 15 - 10...give or take PK/PP.

The grind line will always get lots of minutes under Kruger, probably 15+ a night, especially against good teams. It seemed to work well with the LOG line and I think Eakin is an upgrade over Larsson so that line should be more dangerous offensively

Oh absolutely. It could easily crash and burn lmao but could also be a very effective line for years to come.

I could see it struggling early season but really turning on the gas as the season progresses
