Team: 2020-21 Buffalo Sabres

Initial Creation Date: Nov. 20, 2020

Published: Nov. 20, 2020

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Let Okposo be the garbage man and the defensively responsible forward on line 1. I bet he scores 15+ goals too.

Let Hall be the puck carrier on line 2.

Line 3 dominates

Line 4 can skate and chip in a few goals

Send Ristolainen as far away as possible and watch our defensize metrics increase significantly

I dont hate this but if were paying 9 mil for Skinner i rather have him play with Staal or Eichel to guarantee we get that contracts worth out of him.

Love the idea of depth and balance.
Agree on Skinner with Jack. His 5-on-5 numbers with Eichel were way better than Oloffsons.
Skinners number historically with Staal were not great.

My ideal top 6 would be
Skinner-Eichel-Olofsson
Hall-Staal-Reinhart

OR

Hall-Eichel-Girgensons
Skinner-Staal-Reinhart
I think Skinner needs to have a good center that can get him the puck in the dirty areas

Playing with Reinhart will suit him just fine. He had a lot of his best years in Carolina away from Staal.

He historically has not had good centers and historically has scored a lot of goals.
