i'm not going to disagree with you on girgensons. ..
Let's celebrate that we added Lyubushkin and Comrie with out giving up any assets.
We do not know what Granato will do with the line up.
Remember back to the end of the 2020-2021 season how well it worked when he lined up Asplund-Mittelstadt-Thompson.
Who of us would have predicted Thompson at center would the end the season within earshot of 40 goals.
Buffalo ended the season 25 points out of the playoffs, but closed the season 16-9-3 for 35 pts in their last 28 games giving us all a spark of hope.
Last season the opening line up included Bjork, Caggiula, Eakin, Hagg, Miller and Pysyk.
Replacing them with Quinn, Tuch, Krebs, Power, Lyubushkin, and Fitzgerald will certainly make the team significantly better.
While they lack stars, they undoubtedly have depth.
Is that depth sufficient to close that 25 point gap?
Maybe, more likely one more year.
What we seem to all agree upon is that those 23 players will most likely start the season either on the ice or in the press box.
Let's all be happy that the team is making progress instead of standing still or regressing.
