Great comments.
Let me start the goal total is not 280 but rather
334,
@sabres1108 you only added the forward total and left out the defense goals.
The top for scoring teams last year were:
Florida Panthers 340, Toronto Maple Leafs 315, Colorado Avalanche 312, St. Louis Blues 311, and Minnesota Wild 310
Second, with Comrie at 2.29 GAA and Anderson at 3.11 GAA the Sabres would only give up
202 goals
The lowest GAA teams were:
Carolina Hurricanes 202, New York Rangers 207, Calgary Flames 208, Boston Bruins 220, Pittsburgh Penguins 229, and Tampa Bay Lightning 233
This team would have GF - GA difference of
132
The teams with the highest difference were:
Florida Panthers 94, Calgary Flames 85, Colorado Avalanche 78, Carolina Hurricanes 76, St. Louis Blues 69, and Toronto Maple Leafs 62
Last year the Sabres scored 232 and gave up 290 goals.
I have a lot of faith in Granato, but he is not Jesus Christ capable of turning water into wine.
Increasing the GF by 100 and decreasing the GAA by 88 would take a miracle on the same level as walking on water.
A more modest/reasonable prediction would be to add about 45 goals which would place them among the top 15 last year and reduce the GA by an equal amount to 245 putting them among the top 15 last year.
