Not messing with the Top 6, trying to make a monster bottom 6 to
- Buff36


I can tell you this. Girgensons is better than Brett murray. Without a doubt or question in my mind

I also would play asplund over murray and just about every bottom 6 forward we have


I’m not sure why people here have high expectations for bottom 6 players. Girgensons is perfect for that role

When Okposo is out of the lineup The giant boat anchor. Olofsson I hate but wouldn’t sit him over Okposo

The Sabres with hinostrosa have 4 fast skating lanes with speed.

- Sabretooth9

Don't think he will ever get a shot, but the guy could be are Crouse at 3LW but will fight. Sabres have a lot of talent coming at Forward, it's all a numbers game.

Could careless. Enjoy roch


The Sabres have the best offense in the league. Don’t mess with it. Even the players I hate. Keep them.

Add a defensemen for cheap and let’s ride

- Sabretooth9



Strange that you criticized his skating, then could careless when a couple posters state, that he's working on his skating ?

Don't have him replacing Girgensons this year, maybe see what he could do at LW with Yost and Mitts/Olofsson at RW.

Seems like Murray would be a cheaper girgensons replacement ( after this season) .

If finances get tight?

Of course, I wouldnt .....

You have him on the 3rd line? Interesting?

Give Krebs a 👊👍for his trying to energize the Sabres. Picked the wrong Bruin, but actually looked like if Squared up that Krebs can handle himself.

Like to put Krebs in the middle. But Krebs being on the 4th seems to work.

I’ve watched Brest murray enough times in roch and buffalo to know he’s a career ahler.

Clearly I love the girgs krebs okposo line

It really gives both girgs and okie an actual opportunity to chip in some points.

Gives krebs some working room as well.

Don has this team on the right track.

The olo jost mitts line , what can you do? Sabres aren't making any trades, maybe at the deadline.

As Sabres9 said, dont change anything, were winning

I would change the 3rd line in a heartbeat. Might make winning easier.

Change atleast the one blackhole, Atleast Mitts has his hand sticking out a bit.

Could be messing with "the vibes".

Mitts and bryson live together, very close to dahlin.

These guys are united off the ice as well as on the ice.

The swedes are an interesting unit. Hope that losing olo, assplund and pilut wont disturb dahlins thoughts about staying in buffalo.

I thought the same.
Krebs is coming along, not sure where he ends up though.

I think he ends up with better linemates, but right now they seem to be making each other better

Imagine being a young player like Krebs, and having (2) allstar wingers on your line?

Allstars make other players better ☝️

They are teaching him the D game for sure.
He's teaching them that there is an O game in there somewhere.

I would say Krebs was better at Defense than most thought and Girgensons and Okposo are enhancing that while Krebs has made that line more Dangerous Offensively

Good point, since Krebs has been moved to that line Okposo and Girgs are producing more.
