Chara and Backes are old, but still at least a 90 point team

Don't forget Bjork he's going to be tops in rookie scoring race

I wonder where the Sabres see Middlestat in the future...is he a winger or a center?

If they see him as a winger then start the transition with Reinhart back to center.

But I think this year they will have him on the wing but I do like homies suggestion of putting Eichel with Okposo

Kane Eichel Okposo
??? ROR Reinhart
Pouilott Larsson Pomminville

If Baptiste Nylander or Bailey can be that ?? then this season could surprise everyone.

Kane Eichel Okposo

- Stripes77



If Jack is going to be the C, this is the line he needs.

2 real threats on the outside and will allow him to keep the space he needs to be effective.

In general, I don't subscribe to the balanced approach to line making, I think you make your depth chart based on best players play with best players and so on down the line, but if you're going to put Reinhart at center I think you have to give him Kane because Reinhart tends to take a big hit now and again and Kane is a good deterrent to keep people away from taking advantage of Reinhart. That said:

Pouliot ROR Okposo

Nylander/Bailey Eichel Baptiste

Kane Reinhart Pominville

Girgs Larsson Moulson.


I don't think it matters if Moulson plays the wrong side. He sucks 5 on 5 when he plays his preferred side, so it can't really be worse

- jcragcrumple



I think Bailey could also provide that type of presence for Sam
Those lines look pretty decent to me
Nylander-Eichel-Baptiste could be a nasty combo!

I understand people wanting to spread the talent out but put Eichel with the best they have one each wing.

Let him take off, let him know this is his team and he drives the bus. Then with whatever they do with Kane they split them up next season (by trade or by spreading it around to build a true contending team)

Eichel is going to have skill on his wings for years to come (Kane, Nylander, Middlestat, etc) just make sure he starts this season off on the right foot and flying out of the gate.

They have young elite scoring wingers and a HOF center

We will be better in 2 years but right now I don't see it

If we're not better than Boston this year then something has gone very wrong
- jcragcrumple


boston had two major injuries on the blueline. they probably take the sens to seven games if they're healthy

I assume you're talking about Kreijci? He's a nice player but no where near HOF caliber

That was the notion two years ago.

Not anymore. Kane was more of a hard fore checking machine last year. Eichel carries the puck Kane digs it out of the corner.

I wouldn't say he is a lock but he will probably get in.

4 Selke trophies 1 Stanley Cup is probably enough to get him in
