I don’t hate the moves,
but I’m hoping for something a bit more

I like the top3 lines a lot
Olofsson was at his best with Tage & Skinner, and they both produced with him as well
It also frees up Tuch to help anchor that 2nd line, which i also really like. With a line2 like that, we won’t be so dependent on our top line like in year’s past

The 3rd line is also very interesting to me
Lots of youth & talent, that could end up producing mismatches for us, much like the Vanek-Roy-Pommer line did for us back in 06-07

Idk that Jost would get 4C over Girgs, unless they really just don’t like Girgs at Center


The one thing i really disagree with is breaking up Dahlin & Samuelsson- that pairing just flat out works & is becoming elite
I’d keep them together & find another way to improve the 3rd pair. Worst case, we wait till mid-season & bring in some help


All in all though, pretty nice job
I’ve certainly seen a lot worse, lol

i ain’t gonna lie to you i’m not a sabres fan and don’t watch them enough to know which lines work out i mostly did this just to make the signings and trades. also i was planning on doing more but after assessing the team i don’t really know if more is better in this case. i see a lot of people on here trading for helebuyck but i don’t see why because i think if you give levi one year of getting about 35 starts behind a proven veteran he’ll be an elite starter with two years.

Well, tbh….
You’ve done a better job imo than most Sabres fans do on here!
Nice job sir

I see you’re a Jets fan
Can u tell me more about Pionk?
Style of play, etc?
We’re looking for a solid defensively RH partner for Power
If he brings any physicality at all, that’s a big bonus as well
I haven’t seen him much though,
so I’m curious what u think
