@PHEN and @Stanley_Cup_To_Manhattan, thank you for the Tatar idea.
@Warpbox thank you for the Ostlund idea.
Many Leaf fans, thank you for the Brodie concept.
Logan Stanley is just for fun, LOL

Last season Bryson, Clague, Fitzgerald, Pilut played 132 games.
This season Johnson, Stillman and Brodie will be adding the depth on defense.
Brodie is expensive, but he also bring playoff experience which will help even when he is not in the line up.

The Sabres ride Levi until he proves he cannot handle NHL competition.

Mittelstadt on the top line and Thompson on the second line would give the Sabres two good scoring lines.
Each should be able to contribute over 90 goals.

Tatar and Krebs should be able to provide sufficient back checking to offset Olofsson's defensive shortcomings and take advantage of his scoring capabilities.
With Olofsson on the third line, they could provide decent third line scoring up to 60 goals.
Olofsson 28
Tatar 20
Krebs 15

That is a big fourth line.

When Quinn returns to the line up, Lyubushkin will most likely be the odd man out with either Greenway or Olofsson relegated to the Press Box unless there are injuries.

Bottom line, better depth will reduce the goals against and lead to a playoff spot.

Last year my point prediction of 90 pts was wrong.
This year my prediction is 100 pts.
