Team: 2017-18 Buffalo Sabres

Initial Creation Date: May 26, 2017

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Normally I hate when fans just want to keep bringing back old players and trying to relive the good times, but I think this could make some sense.

Minny gets out from Pominville's contract and moves Brodin in exchange for a good, expansion exempt forward and the 8th overall pick this year.
Vanek comes back to where his career began.


Arizona needs to spend some money and are desperate for scoring. Giving up a 3rd in hopes that Ennis can regain his 20 goal form isn't too unrealistic. Maybe we retain like a million or something.


- First line is all speed. Every one of them has a good shot, with Baptiste being the only real unknown, but he has the tools necessary to keep up I think. Promote the kids, and you gotta give them a real shot.
- Second line is scoring and defense. All three can throw the body and have some scoring touch. I see it as kind of how Anaheim's second line was.
- Third line could be dangerous and create some matchup problems. Sure Vanek and Pominville have slowed a bit but they both just came within a few points of hitting 50 each which is pretty solid. Combine his shot and scoring touch with Reinhart and Pomiville's playmaking and I think you're in for a treat.
- Fourth line can score, hit, and play solid defense. I love Larsson as a 4th line center.
