First,
the idea for Mitts at 1C & Tage on line2 is absolutely not a “locked on Sabres” idea
It’s EXACTLY what happened last year when Thompson got hurt & Mitts filled in at 1C for him. He did such a good job, that when Tage was healthy again, we kept Mitts at 1C and Tage played on the 2nd line- not at Center though- Cozens was the Center & Thompson played RW
Secondly,
where do u get that this is “Krebs last chance” for anything?
He’s being developed as a 2way forward, who we obviously like quite a bit, or he wouldn’t be centering Okposo & Girgs, getting the tough assignments on a nightly basis. His lack of offense thus far stem from being out into a defensive role- he’s fine
Third & Fourth,
Kulich in the lineup over Olofsson is doubtful
Ryan Johnson in the lineup over Jokiharju is also doubtful
When it’s close, the Vets almost always get the nod
Finally,
I agree with
@BUF10 in that we carry 3 goalies
UPL was great in spurts for us last year, & i think we wanna see more from him
