Think Lindy will help with Direction and accountability. The players need to buy in right away. And we need to stay Healthy. We have some depth, but not enough yet. IMO

Completely agree

Mainly tage and cozens need to stay healthy and bounce back.

If they suck again, it’s not bad for just next year, but beyond

Dahlin Joker
Power Byram

I'd prefer
Byram Dahlin
Power Sammy
Joker Cliffy

But would love to see RyJo in Joker's spot and him traded with Krebs and Greenway for a new Blogger

I think we’re gonna see a lot of power / dahlin imo

You put the 2 best out there as often as possible.

25- 30 minutes each is gonna have some solid overlap

Certainly is an option. I think that strategy is situational vs SOP. That's me though.

I'm on a diet run. First time I've ever started one in July. So this is a tough thing to read.

Enjoy Cielito's greatness.

I don't hate it, but that 3rd pair is probably going to stink.

And LOLLLLL.

Brandon Aiyuk has officially asked for a Trade

It works, but again, it's unacceptable to a GM who will lose his job if he's out of the playoffs. Not to mention unacceptable to the org and its fans.

No lies detected.

Byram Dahlin
Power Johnson
Samuelsson Joker/Clifton
Still think Joker gets moved
I would have Johnson with Dahlin because I think there games mesh very well with there Skating and Johnson outlet passes could unleash Dahlin. But I doubt they do that.

I think if Adams viewed Joker as the guy to play with Dahlin, he would not be a UFA in 11 and a half months

It’s so hard to tell in regards to joker?

Does Adams like joker and Donnie didn’t ?

Will Lindy like him more than Donnie?

I think he still has a shot as a regular in the opening night lineup

Power dahlin
Byram Sammy
Clifton joker

If Rutger McGroarty were in the Sabres pipeline, where would he be slotted?
1, 2, 3?

Joker is such a trap. You don't want him playing 1st pair minutes. He played poorly with Power and Byram. He makes no sense with Clifton. What's left?

With Ruff, you're right, probably not yet...but a good idea nonetheless. Might be a nice match.

Circling back to 1st line minutes?

If Dahlin is going to play up to his capability, he can drag along Joker. I'd rather have a better 3rd line than set one up knowing it will fail. If Dahlin/Joker doesn't cave, Dahlin is still getting points, let it ride.

Or do the smart thing and try RyJo there as 36 suggests. I'm not attached to Joker, but do think him and Clifton are interchangeable but Joker has had "some" success with Dahlin, where Clifton didn't really mesh with anyone.
