Obviously u see the Sabres fairly often being a Leafs fan
(Bruins as 2nd fav? How’d that happen, lol?)

A few things though:

1- UPL is likely our goalie of the future, but he’ll play a full year in Rochester before we bring him up here full time
Just needs more grooming

2- Johansson isn’t ideally a 2C, so i think we’ll try hard to fill that spot & move him to either 3C or back to the wing

3- Mittelstadt will either be in Rochester, or in the top9
He has no business playing that defensive role for us. I fully expect Larsson back. That line played quite well for us, and the only guy i think we’d not bring back is Okposo if we get a CBO.
Not bc he didn’t play well, he did... that 6mil Cap hit is just too much

Dadonov is an interesting idea, i could see it
But I do think 2C would be an initial priority over the wing

Overall,
I think you’re pretty close. Sabres should compete for a playoff spot next year (finally) with just a couple good moves


Also...
how great would it be if it’s Sabres vs Leafs for a 3 game series to start this year’s playoffs??
That would be a lot of fun!

that’s an overpayment for reinhart and mojo isn’t a center...playing him at center completely destroys his game. upl isn’t ready and mittelstadt would suffer on that line.
