due to lack of puck moving d men, they almost have to split them up

What would your ideal units look like?

Mine:

Thompson Cozens Tuch
Dahlin Olo

Skinner Krebs Mitts
Power Quinn

High risk for PP2 but worth it vs Okposo again.

I like yours I'm only going to make on switch.

Thompson Cozens Krebs
Dahlin Olo

Skinner Tuch Mitts
Power Quinn

You mitigate risk, add skill to the top, add a big body to the bottom. Skinner and Thompson take FO.

That's right around where Myers was when he won the Calder.

He’ll learn from the successful giant Tage early and be a force.

Power will earn a spot in the elite over 6’5” club by Christmas…I base this solely on watching YouTube highlights.

- washedup20

Well that will work, basically how the Sabres scouted players.

Think Quinn takes Mitts spot and Okposo goes to the point.

If power and dahlin could put up close to 100 points between them.....

Exciting times ahead

- Boss34


That would be amazing but realistically theres a 10% chance of happening. 46 points for power is a dream.

Im hoping for somewhere in the 30’s and him just getting used to the speed of the NHL his rookie season. Had some great games last year but did notice some floating here and there.

Think by the middle to end of the year we are gonna see a big difference in his play. Seems like a smart player.

Sup Boss. Been enjoying reading the we need more Girgs messages.

I guess I'm hoping for 60-65 from dahlin.
I natural progression for a 1stOA pick going into year his 5th year in the nhl.

Hopefully power hits 35 -40 IMO.

Doing well Ziggy. Got the girgensons pjs ready for the season 🙂

Hope you're doing well Ziggy

US got Intel that they are doing something at that Nuclear plant they still hold. If a Leak happens it could spread throughout Europe. Think it's more of a warning to Russia saying when you withdraw there better not be a "So Called" accidental radiation leak and leave in good working condition or pay the Piper.

I saw that the UN Inspectors shutdown the last reactor. Just need to be cooled which takes months I believe?

I really don't know how long it takes, but it's more of a warning, not like we will join the War unless it did happen. They haven't invoked it yet, been done only once I believe.

Based on last year stats that would put dollhead in the Top 8 for defenseman. Guess that would fit the bill. Man defenseman score these days!!

My memory is not the best but i can remember last year we were in quite the funk when Girg was out hurt. He came back and the team really started playing well. Thought that Girg with his non stop motor really got the kids moving.

But unfortunately by the end of the year he really disappeared. Think it just might be time for a change of scenery. Agree with you we need to replace that “toughness” and motor. Think Peterka can be that guy in the bottom 6.

Golf season switching to the best fishing season. Also bills games and soon to be Sabres games. Yea life is good Amigo

I'd be surprised to see olofsson play the point vs. His current sniper faceoff dot spot.

Tuch tall olo
Dahiln samuelsson

Pp1 IMO

His playmaking is a lot better than people give him credit for. Playing with Dahl his focus is more defensive but he made some real nice plays in the offensive zone last year.
