Quoting: AudioCats
Ugh, please no. The negligible hit of having Girgs play 4C is far offset by keeping Mitts or Olofsson around...
Quoting: Sabres923
They obviously care about face-offs...
IMHO FO are important.
Thompson is getting better at FO. He spent most of the season at 38% now he is over 41%.
Mittelstadt is nearly 50% for his career.
I was thrilled when I saw Eakin take all OT FO. Especially in OT, that may be the only possession similar to NFL OT.
Olofsson scored five goals in his first 9 games and now has 11 in this last 19.
I see no reason to trade him and presume Peterka a RHS, could do as well as he on LW.
Let me add, the year Girgensons went to the All Star game, he won 440 FO, the most of any Sabre.
Skinner-Thompson-Tuch
Olofsson-Cozens-Quinn
Krebs-Mittelstadt-Peterka
Asplund-Girgensons-Okposo would be a good fourth line IMHO.
