The Skinner Johnson pairing was good but all evidence points to Sobotka being a black hole on that line. You're correct. You can assume 50% of them won't make it.

He'll bring in advisors loyal to him and he'll attempt to arrest Congress.

Is this opinion or fact?

Keep in mind the last 2 games have been against bad whl teams. He should score there.

Yes, that is correct.

Jack Eichel or Sam Reinhart get hurt, who fills in for them? Answer, no one.

1% chance Botterill brings in a quality 2c before the deadline.

The good news is that typically forwards develop faster so if we find good forwards this draft, we might be doing better.

Ryan Johnson. 2019 draft pick and also a defender. https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/290138/ryan-johnson

They are only 3 months apart in age so idk how much it is impacting things.

Well, I don't think he has the offense, his footwork (agility) is questionable but could improve, and he is big and physical. So not likely. Johnson is the better prospect.

If Samuelsson becomes more than a bottom pairing defender, well I will completely rethink how I feel about the Sabres drafting.

I don't trust anyone that takes a backup RB in the 3rd round. BPA or not.

Oh yea. They got a lot of decisions to make. They have a projected 8million in cap space for next season. You can add another million or so for the cap going up but still, Sergachev and Cirelli both signing for only 4ish million seems unlikely. https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/lightning

I am with you.
