Roster needs this for the young guys to play without fear:

They will have to figure that out as a team. Lyubushkin will step up, Cozens and I know Samuelsson hasn't brought out the whole package yet, he can get nasty himself.

Just replace "could" with "almost certainly will".

Bad idea IMO team is soft. They play hard but have no answer to heavy weights on other teams. Why make top line players* fill that role?

It doesn't have to be Murray but this roster like every roster constructed under Adams is soft. Lybushkin has fought twice in his NHL career. Management's blind side every year, foolish to ignore this aspect of the game.

Okposo is currently filling the role of Captain,
and has been for a while now
Making it official would be the obvious choice, but his age & contract aren’t ideal

Next most obvious choice is Tuch imo
And i haven’t seen any of the kids even come close to being worthy of it

No need to necessarily choose now
Let it happen naturally, like it did with Okposo

Jets Retiring Teppo Numminen's #. As well as Selanne.

edit: They're being inducted to the Jets Hall of Fame, not sure if the #'s will be retired

Pretty ugly graphic, and has been for all the categories, as you mentioned and have shared.

Looks like Power and a few other Sabres will be at the Ballpark Saturday for a meet and autograph signing with fans. Tickets are 16 dollars

I must have missed it - where was this a problem last year? I didn't see Colorado struggling with the physical game Tampa was trying to play. This isn't the same league as it was even 5 years ago.

Colorado has MacDermid for the regular season:

Also didnt win until they brought in enough toughness, Kadri, Helm on top of Johnson/Landeskog.

82 games just to get to the dance, role players matter.

Although I agree, the Sabres need toughness, they have gotten much bigger and less likely to be taken advantage of.
Dahlin gonna be a 5th year nhl build
Samuelsson 6'5
Power 6'6

Tuch bigger than sam at 1rw
Tage playing big minutes at 6'7 not eichel
Cozens a year more mature at 2c
Okposo, girgensons aren't gonna be scummed

I think peterka pushes asplund out of the lineup, because of the toughness difference (among other reasons)
He's a bowling ball
