Description
Think Greenway takes Olofsson spot, Olofsson looks to be just going through the paces watching him in preseason.
And Benson could just get his 9 games, kid looks fantastic but he still might not be ready physically for 82gms. And think Savoie gets his 2 week Rehab in Rochester. There junior team is a mess at this point, might want to let that settle down.

I don't want to put him out there at all, but I figure they can flip flop like the other pairs. He gets hurt every year, I fully expect Ryan Johnson to be playing LD there by January.

Go with 2 goalies, even if it means starting Levi in AHL.

Add Kulich (if don’t care about slide year)

Trade Olofsson if he is going to be 13F.

And Biro gets claimed.

Every defenseman is playing on their natural side Johnson is playing with Samuelsson on the 3rd pair.

Really depends on Clifton being able to handle extra minutes. And who is E. Johnson playing with. Power and Jokers numbers aren't good together.

Yeah I don’t like Power and Jokiharju together again, but they are going to be a pair.

Looks that way, I hope Clifton can handle the extra minutes. Lot to ask a player to add 3 to 5min a game when they regularly Don't do it.

Great comments especially from non Sabre fans.
Granato said he was planning to have the D-men play their natural side.
Reading between the lines he does not plan to have Dahlin and Samuelsson paired this year.
Who among the RHD would be a logical choice? Dahlin and Clifton!
Johnson was added to be an on ice coach, who is the youngest LHD? Power and Johnson!
Leaving Samuelsson with Jokihaŕju.
An offensive D-man paired with a defensive D-man on every pairing.
With a stronger third pairing, maybe Dahlin will only NEED to play 22 minutes a game then Clifton would be resting the 4 minutes per game Rasmus is running the PP.

@MEETYOURMAKAR did you get to the October Fest?
We are going to a wedding today in Denver and Fest was a high point of our visit just behind climbing Pike's Peak.
