  1. What happened to the housley 5 man attacking system?  Plus it concerns me the lack of scoring from the 3rd line. The 2nd of skinner-mittlestadt-okposo points will come if kept together but I'd be looking to bringing up Smith and nylander soon if this continues and then asplund and oloffson if not this season then next. The first two mentioned should have been on the roster anyway in my opinion. Also pilut is playing well and can't be ignored. Just don't like this blysma style get a lead and sit on it.

    This makes the most sense to me:

     

    G1: Hutton

    G2: Ullmark

    D1: Ristolainen - Scandella

    D2: Dahlin - McCabe

    D3: Bogosian - Beaulieu

    F1: Skinner - Eichel - Reinhart

    F2: Sheary - Berglund - Okposo

    F3: Nylander - Mittelstadt - Thompson

    F4: Rodrigues - Sobotka - Pominville

    Extra: Nelson, Wilson, Girgensons

    Injury: Hunwick, Larsson

    Rochester: Baptiste, Bailey, Guhle, Pilut, Smith, Asplund

     

    My only question is whether Baptiste and Bailey will clear waivers. I haven't quite given up on them, though I don't blame anyone who already has.

    Pretty much agree with those lines

    Very good post.  

    Really like the idea of Berglund centering Girgensons & Okposo.

    I expect that we'll see Eichel centering Skinner & Reinhart though I like the reasoning behind putting Sheary with Eichel.  So, that would put Sheary on Mittelstadt's line & either Thompson or Rodrigues.  My guess is E-Rod would get 1st crack there.

    I expect Sobotka to center the 4th line & Thompson to start the season there.  Though I'd prefer Pominville as the 13th forward, I expect he'll be 12th.

    So, we'd have (by ice time):

     

    Skinner - Eichel - Reinhart

    Girgensons - Berglund - Okposo

    Sheary - Mittelstadt - Rodrigues

    Thompson - Sobotka - Pominville and 

    Scandella - Ristolainen

    Beaulieu - Bogosian

    Dahlin - McCabe

    My hope is that they'd run with your D, but I expect Beaulieu to be Bogosian's partner & Hunwick as the 7th D.

    Expect probably Wilson & Baptiste as the spares.  Asplund would be the 1st call up.

     

    I am hoping that Nylander gets a spot. I am not so sure now that sending him back down will benefit him. Agree with you on Asplund regarding 1st call up or CJ Smith, Olffson?

  4. I love coming on here too and reading all the posts. Hope to be able to do one of the sabre space meet ups at some point. Feel very fortunate to follow this sport with all the friends I have made and all the countries I have visited through watching it.

    I'm making my prediction right now- it will be Nylander. He'll have a shot on the big club, and he'll show an ability to get into soft spots and put the puck in the net. He won't drive possession, so may need to be "sheltered"  or play with strong possession line-mates, but he'll be smart with the puck and will show an ability to finish at the NHL level.

    I agree with this. Done ok when called up for the last few games. Does he need to be in buffalo now. I reckon so.  Hope he has a good camp and is kept up.
