To their own fans or teams around the league?

I don't think too many other teams will be bothered by the lineup, they are highly skilled and fast but not menacing in any way IMO

Why haven't Cozens and Mittlestadt played together consistently?

Both centers. It's a big year for mittelstadt, he's getting prime minutes with good wingers. There's decisions to be made- is he a center, can he put up 60 points without being a defensive liability, is there an extension that makes sense? Mittelstadt, Benson, and Greenway were the Sabres best line for the first few games, not so much the last game (although to be fair, Benson got the heat for that one). For mittelstadt, there's definitely a cap for how much I would spend.

From the outside it seems like he has the skillset to be a good point producing winger rather than a solid middle-6 center, and its probably a good fit for him anyways. I see Cozens as a great match for his playstyle and could see them developing serious chemistry. Plus there are other 3C options like Krebs.

I really like what the Sabres are doing....May not be playoff bound this year, but very soon and IMO will be good, very good for a long time.

Going to be menacing in 2-3 years. And with the lines i made,they still have Rosen Ostlund Whalberg down in the ahl

Depends on what they wanna do. Mittelstadt isn't a conventional 3c, guys like Krebs, Wahlberg, and maybe ostlund would be more conventional 3cs. We don't have a good two way center on the team right now, although I think everybody is expecting cozens to become one. And the Sabres could use a guy to win a draw too.

It'd be even more of a menace if the lines were sensible and if Bryson was no where near the team.
