Isn't Jarnkrok injured

Dont think you get a 3rd for Jarnkrot, and BUF already has some solid bottom 6 vets.

Dont think Timmins, (whos injured and has a so-so injury history) and who would be on his 4th NHL team in 4-5 years and still plays poor defense, carries tons of value. Maybe if he was healthy - a 3rd? But a 1st and a 3rd for Zadorov with retention is probably about right.

And still think having a lafferty at 2nd line and your other changes only dilutes the talent in the forward lines rather than spreads it. Keefe is still going to play his top 6 forwards 18-25 minutes a night, so you're going to have domi/nylander play 13? Just play your top 6 forwards together.

3rd line: Robertson-Domi-Gregor
4th line: Lafferty-Kampf-Reaves

I'd prefer Knies - Tavares - Nylander as the 2nd line, and have Domi act as the 3C.

It seems they're really into trying Nylander at centre though.

agree.

I think domi or knies has to be 2LW and you have to have TWO overpowering scoring lines instead of 1 scoring line and two average lines (that aren;t known for their defense either). Domi at 3C works, ONLY if Jarnkrot is 3RW and Robertson can stay healthy and be a good 3LW, otherwise you're looking at one of lafferty/holmberg/reaves/kampf on 3rd line, all of which will drag down the offensive ability of that line

There's going to be lots of experimenting, let's just hope they figure it out by the end of the season this time.

Zadorov isn’t even worth a first so no to that flames trade

Sabres not interested unless we have injuries
And even then, we might wanna call up some of our talented youth instead
