@csick please tell me who i am overvaluing lol

I don’t think you’re overvaluing anyone. But to expect them to all be at those spots will take more time than you think

Of course, that's why I have the different fonts etc. What would Ottowas look like? Sabres need us a Zub.

Tkachuk-Norris-Batherson
Greig-Stutzle-XXX
Formenton-Pinto-Brown/Jarventie
Kelly-Kastelic-Sokolov

Chabot-Zub
Sanderson-Thomson
Kleven/Brannstrom-JBD

Sogard
Gus
Merilainen

Could also acquire a RD and push everyone down

A RD like…

TRAVIS HAMONIC??????

Idc if he is an RD or not it’s just funny

You could have the Red Wings to the discussion. In three years, Sabres, Sens and Wings might be in the Atlantic top four

That's true! do you think those 3 are all going to be ahead of Montreal? I know you hope so lol.

I don't like some of Montreal long term cap going forward. If Sabres, Sens and Wings who have good prospects, and have young guys currently on the roste, r can add some UFAs (and be wise about it), those three teams could be very good, very soon.
