  3. What's going on with Montour?

    Montour to Edmonton for Athanasiou straight up?
     

    Both are pending RFA and Andreas really didn’t produce in EDM after being traded at the deadline. 
     

    His combination of speed and offensive ability would be an asset in our top 9 especially as a home run hitter in the transition game. 
     

    His defense is terrible and we would likely need to keep him away from skinner and be creative with his usage but, he has played all 3 forward positions at the nhl level, giving Kruger the flexibility to do so. 
     

    I haven’t consulted the analytics community of this so feel free to fact check me on this comparison but I think of him as a turbo charges luxury version of e-rod (positionally versatile, defensively questionable player capable of making plays on the rush).  
     

    That being said, his combination of elite speed and high end puck handling at said speed allow him to threaten defenses through the neutral zone better than any player we have not named Jack 

  5. Solving the 2C Problem

    Eric Staal - Next year is the last on his deal.  Low commitment stopgap for the 2c spot.  Minnesota is in flux and Guerin did not sign him to that deal.  Botts and Billy G also have history working together.  I could see Skinner, Staal and Mojo working well under heavy offensive usage

  6. What would you advise TP to do?

    the bills roster a fullback, purposefully bring in players for toughness and to set the tone. Cody Ford and feliciano come to mind here. Both of those guys can be beat one on one, but both of those guys are mean bastards who will line up and punch you in the gut 50 snaps in a row.

    you don’t need to be the best but at least play like it matters to you  

    what would this rosters results look like at this point of the season with ted Nolan behind the bench?

  14. Rasmus Dahlin has been awesome at everything except...

    I think the weakness in the power play right now is if teams leave Dahlin open at the top of the triangle and force him to be the shooter.  he's doing very well distributing but his shot from long range leaves much to be desired at this point.  If I had to play the Sabres right now that's what I would do.  Squat on the shooters as much as I can, try to control Reinhart's stick and let Dahlin shoot as much as he wants but DON'T allow him to act like a pivot.

    If that's the case he can advance into the slot to create a tighter 3-2 situation.  With his edges and agility there won't be many PK forwards who will be able to close from wide coverage and take away his lane down the middle.  Either walk in and snipe or wait for a killing Dman to engage and pass to the player they abandon to defend him.
