If you click the tweet it shows Dahlin commenting on it poking fun at Mitts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASabresIUFAN Posted June 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 (edited) Here is a scary thought. With the qualified RFAs, Jbot could theoretically be done for the summer once those guys officially sign. Cost of the Status Quo Sabres with the qualifying offers (some like McCabe Erod and Ullmark will be higher when actually signed) is $69,072,824 @pi2000 ready to pull your hair out? Skinner Eichel Reinhart Sheary Mitts Olofsson Wilson Erod Okposo Girgensons Sobotka Smith Larsson Dahlin Montour McCabe Ristolainen Scandella Bogosian Hunwick Nelson Hutton Ullmark Welcome to Hell. If this is even close to the opening day lineup, I’m going to scream and jump off the Jbot bandwagon and add him to my TM list. IMHO from this “team,” I’d keep Forward line 1 intact, move the 2nd line to the 3rd line and the 3rd to the 4th. Pick one guy from the status quo 4th line as the 13th forward and get rid of the rest. Then go out and find an entire 2nd line. Also I’d get rid of both Scandella, Bogo and Hunwick and replace with a vet like Martinez or Stralman plus Pilut and bring a kid (Bryson or Borgen or Dougherty) up if we end up needing an 8th D.

I think we can assume that Thompson is here and that JBot will not listen to RK screaming that TT doesn't belong here by scratching him for games on end. (One place where I give PH credit and JBot discredit.) I also assume that Pilut will be up here instead of Hunwick. I hope there is no way on God's Green Earth that Sobotka is in the line-up. So your line-up turns into: Skinner Eichel Reinhart Sheary Mitts Olofsson Smith Erod Nylander Girgensons Larsson Okposo Wilson, Thompson Dahlin Montour McCabe Ristolainen Scandella Bogosian Pilut Nelson Hutton Ullmark You know what's funny about this line-up? Add a centre and send Thompson down and I think it makes the playoffs. Last year. Edited June 21, 2019 by E4 ... Ke2 clarification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huckleberry Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 Nylander - Eichel - Oloffson Skinner - Samson - Zuccarello Erod - Mittlestadt - Perry ( 2 year deal) Girgensons - Larsson - Okposo Dhalin - Montour McCabe - Ristolainen Pilut - Bogosian Hutton Ullmark (I do expect UPL in here by november if the other two keep performing badly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why I wrote the status quo lineup. We enter the season with no actual 2nd line again and the same defensively challenged defense then Jbot should be fired. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign Pominville/Vanek for fan service if trade deals don’t work out and they don’t want to gift all the rookies spots Sobotka waived, Sheary expendable, I won’t pretend Okposo can be moved Edited June 21, 2019 by triumph_communes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HE is coming off bilateral hip surgery and may not be ready for beginning of season. He needs to play in AHL before coming to sabres 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I am saying that if we don't have a line of Elie-Sobotka-Thompson and replace it with competent NHLers, then we make the playoffs. No, they don't scare anyone, but I think if JBot had made those moves before the New Year, they hang on to 8th. I should add that because I believe the problems after the All Star Break are primarily because of JBot's inaction, my expectations this year are for this team to achieve as if they had made the playoffs last year. Therefore, I am treating this year as the playoffs being a given; if that doesn't happen, then JBot should be out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
