McLeod

Will he be a good 3c for the Sabres relative to other 3c nhl players?

Should be fine.

Point wise, what does “should be fine” equate to?

Feel like we gave up at least 25-30 points in drop off from mitts at 3c to McLeod .

Unless Lindy utilizes the Cozens line more, McLeod should be right around there, no?

What's the worst move that has come during the Terry era?

Montour has to be up there, but methinks the Scandella fiasco was the most insulting.

Cozens was flipped and flopped all around last year. Big reason he had a down year IMO.

McLeod was 12:27 ES, :32 PP, 1:14 SH. Mitts was 15:37 ES, 2:32 PP, :07 SH.

He might get a little more time than last year, but I doubt it approaches Mitts.

Tough to compare given the difference in teams. McDavid accounts for 22-23mins per night, Tage is at 18. Draisaitl gets 20, Cozens is at 17. Minutes have to go somewhere.

Perhaps an unpopular opinion but I think Jack Quinn's loss was his biggest issue. He started looking better after the Chosen One returned.

May we pray for his health.

He's very good on puck retrievals,, can that be used to up his Offense.

Mcleod-Cozens-Quinn
Benson-Krebs-Zucker

https://frozenpool.dobber...9&period=ALL&situation=EV

1st line is set, our best Line last year.
2nd line could very well have Mcleod at LW as the forechecker. More I look into it, the more it makes sense with the personnel we have. He did very well with Drais at even strength last year. Cozens and Quinn(who needs to stay healthy) need to find their suitable LW.
3rd line is ??? but Benson and Krebs did very well tg in the limited time tg last year. But had Skinner and Peterka at their best. Zucker should help them instead of a Greenway or Robinson (who they did horrible with) but they need to drive play more. Especially Krebs.

4th line need not be talked about.

He never had a stable line last year which never helps, but yes he was at his best with Quinn, and more or less Peterka(who unfortunately wont be on that line this year)

Trading for a top 6 LW would have done this team wonders.

Quinn was 12:240 ES.

Hard to get big minutes without PP time.

I have no doubts Benson contributes more this year. If that's the line up Krebs really needs to find his game.

Agreed, McLeod should play a bigger role this year in Buffalo.

Edmonton clearly had some tough center depth to compete for ice time
