Going to be crowded at forward

Mitts going to play top 6 min. Don’t see him on 4th line. If so they might as well trade him no because he will have no value at end of year. Peterka unless has huge training camp he starts in Roch this season. D looks good I could see Lyub playing with Power to start and Joki with Bryson

Im going to get attacked but its truth. Asplund is not that good. People look at his defensive analytics and get all nutty yet they must forget to watch him actually play the game. Hes fine in a 4th line LW role but thats the max

Granato doesn't number his lines. Top 12 players last year all played between 13.5 and 8 mins.

Injuries happen too and guys will move around

It is not the truth. It is slander

people who swear by asplund are the same ones who wanted larsson back this year

I mean, Larsson is one of the best 4Cs in the league, I'd love to have him back

hahaah there it is. I wonder if you people watch hockey or just stare at analytic charts. Like they actually haver to go on the ice and play the game

I do watch the games. I watch how every line asplund is put on magically starts scoring and stops bleeding chances against almost immediately. I watch how they out shoot and out chance their opponents every game. I look for asplund to build on this last season and assuming he doesn't have the insane bad puck luck he did last year, to out up 35-45 points as well as playing selke caliber defense.

Well prepare for disappointment. expect around 20 points and decent defensive play on the 4th line. He will get some healthy scratch time as well of course

Prepare for these words to haunt you. I don't let things go.

His first full season and he was top 20 in selke votes. I look forward to this

Healthy scratch time? He played the most games for anyone on the Sabres last year and had 27 points. Why are you expecting a regression? Asplund is still so inexperienced. Only 137GP. This should be his breakout season. Happen to catch him at the World Championship?

The Sabres best line is:

Asplund-Mitts-Oloffson 11GF 4GA 5v5 last year. I'm keeping them together.

Granato doesn’t number lines however Mitts won’t start season with Girg and Okp you can be assured that. He has every chance to play with our playmakers. This is his year to do what Thompson did last year. I see big things from him. I think he plays with Krebs and Tuch

Maybe he does.

Note this AGM literally is called "how I would line em up" as in ME

Well retitle it then!! No. I hear ya
I hope Peterka starts here but I don’t see it happening either. I think him and Quinn go back and forth to Roch and Peterka unless a huge training camp starts in Roch and plays a ton

Our fan base has gotten way to use to mediocracy. Asplund on a good team (Tampa/Col/Tor/FLA/CAR etc) isnt a thing because he does nothing except makes your analytics look decent. Buffalo is trying to improve, not stay put. Asplund can go thrive in Arizona with all of his whopping 8 goals. He will be so missed

"prepare for these words to haunt you. i dont let things go".... laughing my a88 off over here. youre probably like 5ft 5 overweight middle-aged dude. Not to scared of you or your big words. And wowwww top 20 in selke votes!!! good job!!! Did the participation trophy look good too??

Asplund on a good team is zach Hyman

You can always tell when someone lost an argument when they resort to name calling.

Poor guy

Your exact quote ,,,"prepare for these words to haunt you. i dont let things go" hate to break it to you buddy but thats a little aggressive so i matched what you were bringing. Why dont you grow up and not get offended by everything said "poor guy"

Have a blessed day
