Ugh, I forgot about Marcus Johansson Hank.

What's more realistic, Quinn and/or Peterka are candidates for the Calder or Casey finally gets his poop together and puts up 50 points as a center?

Nice read. Much appreciated.

I still have hope for Mittelstadt and I want to see him put it together. Sounds like Granato wants to start him at wing so I'll go with Quinn/Peterka.

Krebs as a Roy-type, pass-first center would be my center guess. 12 + 38 seems possible to me

I think JJ enters himself into that picture. He's got "Fantastic" Hockey player written all over him

Sabres finished with the 16th best pp unit last year at 21.2% and the 23rd worst pk unit at 76.4%. I think we will finish this season much better in both departments and that alone is a colossal difference maker.

Also having a complete roster that is able to come out of training camp relatively healthy will help Buffalo significantly.

Have a feeling Samuelsson's injury last year made them reconsider playing these guys.

Not icing a team where a large portion of ruotsalainen, haag, butcher, pysyk, miller, caggiula, eakin, bjork, hayden is suited up at the same time.

As in changing the Sam trade, Portillo, Leinonen? Would love to have KA's first couple months back, could be in much better shape today.

Don't think anyone would want Adams first couple months, with what he had to do. How much of that distraction affected the player negotiations.

EJ Manuel had bad coaching.

That’s all I got.
