1. Where will Buffalo finish in the ranking? <strong>5th 90 plus points, in the hunt until the last two weeks.</strong>
2. What will most likely be the PP? <strong>Last year 11 forwards who played at least 40 averaged more than 1:00 min/gm of PP TOI, I am sure Granato will deploy his players similarly this year.</strong>
3. Who is likely to have a breakout year or who will surprise in terms of point production? Who is advantaged by the line combinations? <strong>Cozens and Mittelstadt for sure, each will exceed 50 points and 20 goals.
Dylan hit a wall over the last 11 games recording only two assists, Casey on the other hand, playing healthy, had 4 goals and 13 points over the last 20 games.
My dark horse for a break out season will be Asplund. He could exceed 15 goals and 40 points 8 goals and 27 in the NHL last year and 6 goals in 10 games at the WC - 2021-2022.
My darkest horse to break out is Luukkonen. While it is a small sample of 9 games he had a 0.917 SV% last year.
I will leave it up to Granato to find the best line combinations.
IMO the teams end of season surge gave everyone a taste of victory and they will want to feast on it this year.
Power and Quinn will both be strong candidates for the Calder Trophy, Dahlin will be a finalist for the Norris, Granato will get many votes for the Jack Adams Award.</strong>
4. Who is likely to have a bad year in point production? <strong>Bjork! While many are predicting production drop off from Thompson and Skinner, Alex will not allow that to happen, leading to his earning the "C". Tuch was a huge factor to driving both Skinner and Tage to higher levels. Pre-Tuch Skinner and Tage were on pace for 25 and 30 goals, post-Tuch that jumped to 40 and 48 respectively. </strong>
5. How many games each goalie is likely to play? <strong>Comrie 50, Anderson 18, Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen 14. If the Sabres ONLY need to play 3 GK next year, it would help the team to add a dozen or more points to last year total.</strong>
<strong>LOL maybe Subban will see more action as well. It was a very smart move to sign him for another season. He gives Buffalo four options at GK in case the skies fall again as they did last year.</strong>
Many will consider me an optimist, but Power, Lyubushkin, Peterka, and Quinn will do more for the Sabres than Tkachuk, Giroux, and DeBrincat, will do for Ottawa.
Power and Dahlin on the ice for over 50 minutes a night will apply tremendous offensive pressure for nearly the entire game.
Finally, this team has significantly more depth than last year with Pilut, Bryson, Fitzgerald, Laaksonen all adding defensive depth and Rosen, Kozak, Bloom, Kisakov ready to take the next step to the NHL either this year or next year.
Having Tuch, Samuelson, Krebs, and Mittelstadt for an entire season along with healthy GK with the other additions should be enough to add 15 pts to last years total.
Granato is one of the best coaches, just remember the pundits all figured the Sabres would finish last over all with about 50 pts.
He took this young team and fought through the GK and other injuries for the team to reach 75 points quit the achievement.
<strong>Let me close, it is really nice to see a fan of another team requesting information, thank you very much.</strong>

Playoff Push
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RoyalBlueSabres</b></div><div>Answering a question with a question.
Taking one comparable and forcing it into a finer detailed situation.
Your idea is fine. But there has never ever been a goaltender traded for that much, in any scenario.
Does that mean it would never happen ... idk. Sure there are some variables on WPG to be considered. But to say that the trade is ridiculously under priced is wild. When it would be the biggest trade for a goalie ever.</div></div>
Well okay, I get your point. Maybe I exaggerated a bit, I don't really know the history of goalie trades all that well. I suppose you have a clearer picture of that.
However, the reason that the return for a goalie has never been much greater than what is suggested in this acgm trade might be that teams very rarely actually trade away their good/great starting goaltenders unless one of the following happens:
1. Goalie is trending downward for x amount of time
2. Org. and player doesn't get along
3. Player is soon to be UFA
4. Team is in rebuild mode
5. Some other reason I can't come up with atm
If the suggested deal was offered to a team that holds a goalie of Hellebuycks caliber and who isn't rebuilding or has any obvious reason to trade him, I don't think it would be enough.

Other teams seem to be more amenable to trading cap for picks, but Pegula would block these trades.
Sean Monahan to MTL hurt the Sabres by making the Canadians rebuild stronger.
Pegula is hurting his team by not willing to spend some cash.
A first round pick in 2025 could be the chip needed to add a veteran player to a near playoff team.

Only Toews spent more PK min/game than EJ, no one had more blocked shots or hits, only Makar and Toews had more goals than he.

Sea Trade- Unessary for the Isles, Soucy would be a luxury and Beau is a need.
Col Trade- Clutter isn't getting traded after just signing for 2 years and Col is set on their 4th line.
Buf Trade- Don't see why they need Bailey, they have a bunch of young forwards competing to be middle 6 players.
Van Trade- Would become a Milbury level mistake to trade Raty and a 1st for a player who is turning 30 and will not live up to his next contract.
