The true leader of this team is not on the roster yet.
While I am ready for a blockbuster trade to acquire him, Kevin doesn't have the sack to pull it off.

Somewhere between the last two seasons seems about right... 84 - 91 pts unless everything goes perfect.
I'll stay with my previous prediction of 87pts.

I am hoping Kulich proves to be a nice fit with Cozens and Quinn on L2.
Benson McLeod Zucker could do some damage.

If they keep Greenway on L3 and pushed Zucker to L2, IMO Adams will have succeeded in doing exactly what he stated he wouldn't do...block prospects.

Tuch crying about the fans on a a podcast last year didn’t scream leader and then him boycotting the end of the game player stick wave after wins.

Honestly that’s a loser mentality more than anything

Greenway shouldn’t even play. He’s plays the exact opposite of what they brought in free agency wise.

Slow and poor hockey IQ.

Think Kulich is on L5. Terrible preseason schedule to push for a spot. It's not there for him, barring injury.

@LLysowski
Lines and pairs at Sabres' a.m. skate:

Peterka-Thompson-Tuch
Benson-Cozens-Quinn
Kulich-Krebs-Rousek
Malenstyn-Lafferty-NAK

Power-Byram
Samuelsson-Jokiharju
Bryson-Clifton.

UPL in starter's net.

my take on the lines

there is a good chance that the thompson, cozens and lafferty lines are 3 of the 4 lines on opening night which leaves the third line to be zucker-mcleod and greenway?
assuming krebs starts the year in the dog house

Agree with that.

Think the only question is what they do when they get home with the final roster spot, if healthy: 3G, 14F, or 8D.

I did the same. I think it’s smart play. Also no Daemon Pierce.

My other options were Zamir white or Jerome ford

I love the thursday to monday slate because a lot of people load up on thursday guys and for the most part they underperform on the short week

Immaturity from one of the older guys on the team.

All starts in net, where you expect above average play, but know it's not a given.

Lot of pressure on the top 6 because you can't expect much bottom 6 production out of this group.

Hopefully both Goalies keep progressing! Lindy has a tendency to ride his Goalies

Don't think that held true in NJ. If UPL doesn't start strong, things get awkward.

If the Sabres don’t win 7 -0 tonight. It would be a disappointment. Pens have a very watered down roster
