Team: 2022-23 Buffalo Sabres

Initial Creation Date: Oct. 12, 2022

Published: Oct. 12, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

I guess Andreas Johnsson is good enough for the Stanley Cup champs but not to Buffalo.
He would have been a great depth forward.
So I traded for him.
Opps, that Jonas Johansson not Andreas Johnsson that the AVEs claimed.
I need to clean my reading glasses, LOL!

Granato will certainly put together the lines that will provide the greatest synergy and camaraderie.

The lines play on the average 16:00, 15:30, 15:00, 13:30 minutes per night, essentially rolling four lines with a slight preference for the top line.
Each line playing short shift with long bench recoveries will be energized to earn more ice time.

Peterka on the fourth line with two solid defensive players will be on the ice to erase any first year player mistakes he commits.
This will minimize the external pressure for him to produce offensively, but will avail him to frequent odd man breakout opportunities.

Okposo on the third line with Cozens to create a solid fore and back checking line.
Minimizing scoring opportunities in the Sabre defensive zone.

Olofsson and Quinn as Mittelstadt's wingers will provide him with snipers to showcase his playmaking capabilities.

Keep last year's top time together.

He already cleared waivers. You want to trade for him using 'future considerations'.

That was Jonas Johansson the AZ goalie they claimed not Andreas the winger

LOL, you are both correct.

He would have been a good pick up for the Sabres as a depth forward, but what do I know, maybe the plan is to finish 8th in the Atlantic this year.

No he wouldn’t be a good pickup. 3.4 million dollars for an extra forward isn’t a great idea at all.

I agree. Be interesting to see how teams treat cap going forward. Maybe cap space will be cheaper when the cap goes up, but I kinda hope it stays like this. Cap space is a commodity, selling cap space super cheap, why would you do that?
