Thread: Other side idk just wanted to see what things looked like
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Diaspora</b></div><div>Yeah, that would be at full salary (no retention).

Johnson is a smooth-skating LD that should quickly develop into a top-4. Former 1st round pick. The problem is he's UFA-eligible this summer. He wouldn't be available if Sabres were confident he'd sign with them. At minimum, he's a 2024 late 2nd, with the possibility to be significantly more.</div></div>

Could have sworn Johnson was a righty. Must be thinking of someone else. He's probably not an ideal prospect for NSH, given that they're much deeper on the left side with both prospects and roster players with term. The short window NSH would have to sign a prospect they have no established relationship with isn't ideal either.

Thread: Projected Starting Line Up
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Diaspora</b></div><div>I'm leaning toward what you say, but I wouldn't find it shocking if OP has the right defense lineup.

The question comes down to whether you think Samuelsson is mature enough (probably) and has enough talent (unknown) to truly dominate on third pairing match-ups a la Sergachev over the last couple years in Tampa.

He looks like a pretty good complement to Dahlin on the top line and may be the solid partner that allows Rasmus to freelance in the o-zone. But Lyubushkin could play that role too.

Jokiharju is the question mark. He didn't really mesh with Dahlin, though they really tried hard to make that a thing. I don't know that it would be any better to pair him with Power. He needs a statement year to remain with the team after this season.

It's gonna be fun to watch 'em figure it out.</div></div>

I don't get a vote, but for me-
Samuelsson-dahlin
Power-lybushkin
Bryson-jokiharju

My reasoning is that Samuelsson frees up dahlin to play his game, and I think we got a glimpse of what that looks like last year. Same idea with lybushkin and power. Both of our first overall picks would get a chance to excel with a physical defensive d watching the d zone. I don't think that jokiharju was the find that everybody (me included) thought. He seems like a middling two way d, not really excelling at much. It's too bad that Bryson is kinda the same thing, a solid defensive left d might be a better match for jokiharju. I would play the top 2 lines for the majority of the game and cross my fingers with bryson-jokiharju.
