Straight Talk: 1st Line: what do Sabres really have on this roster?

[Spoonman]

So, what has KA put together for his NHL roster? 
 

Who would you keep & on what line (if we were a legitimate NHL club)?

I’ll start w 1st liners on this team: 

Forward:

1/ Tage

1/ Norris (if he ever gets & stays healthy?)

Defence:

1/ Dahls

Goal: 

1/ none

Thoughts?

Norris is a 2C around the league -- a good one, but not a top-line talent. He'd be the 2C on the Sabres as well, if Ruff trusted TNT to play defense.

I have no issue with Benson being (or becoming) a top line player

I wouldn't put Norris there though

It feels like Tage has, in fact, improved his play without the puck, including defense.

Is this news to anyone that the Sabres lack high end players?

[SabreFinn]

No way I would keep Norris. I hope he gets healthy soon, and he can stay healthy and play well,  then we trade the horrible contract somewhere else.
