Tuch is clearly ready. Are you?

Today I sent that picture of Tuch to my company’s CIO. I just learnt he’s a Bills fan.

Last season Tokarski/Anderson combined for 41 games at .897.

If Comrie can give us 41 games at .912 we are in the mix. We may still miss the playoffs but it wouldn't be by much. There are other factors of course.

Comrie was the smart play but we just don't know. He could be a sub-mediocre starter or he could go Husso this season.

Bolderer predictions

Goal: our stable of goalies collectively produce a .906 sv%
UPL stays healthy and we have a good old fashioned goalie controversy

Defense: Power makes his name known throughout the league, Joker's analytics establishes himself as a top 4 defender but we believe he's being carried and KA moves him in the off-season. Dahlin/Sammy 3merge as a league top defensive pair

Forwards: Quinn puts up 45 pts but is out done by other rookie(s) around the league, JJP spends time on the 90 but finds his game by the end of the season. Tage with another monster year shedding any doubts.
One of Mitts/VO is moved in the off-season for 2023 picks, we argue if Kulich and Kozak are ready for the NHL next summer.
Rosen has flashes but another injury causes long term concerns.
Cozens becomes a big casual fan favorite not because of gaudy numbers but clutch goals and physical play. He also greatly improves his FO% so we don't have to argue it's importance anymore.

89pts just miss but WASH, BOS are clearly out of favor and TB a year or so from missing. KA gets a steady RD over the summer to upgrade Joker while DET is fighting for Bedard.

i know we did this a couple months ago but go ahead and roast away

Final roster, yes

Finals roster, no

Not really any surprises. I hope Nadeau is still on track for his shoulder recovery.

Opening night roster

 

[BritSabre]

Yay Bjork made it. Well deserved.............

At least without Eakin here to hold him back he can be the worst player on the roster.

What do Ben Bishop and Anders Bjork have in common?

What do Ben Bishop and Anders Bjork have in common?

Neither can work for the Stars until next year?

Anders Bjork, Stars future skating coach

Sure seems like the line combos are settled as well

I think they last 6 games, tops

 

[EXTRAS]

Surprised Pilut didn't make it. He's pretty good.

I think they mostly knew roster and line combinations after free agency. I think their biggest question was who was going to play center among Mittelstadt, Krebs, Girgensons and Asplund.

Surprised Pilut didn't make it. He's pretty good.

Pilut's waiver status made it likely that he was going to Rochester. They wanted to stick with Fitzgerald and not lose him to waivers.

I hope Bryson finds his game.

Granato seems to like keeping guys together. They're a very flexible group though and of course inevitable injuries.

Next year I would replace VO with Patrick Kane and I would replace Mitts with Savoie. Hopefully trade Mitts and VO for a RHD.

Skinner - Thompson - Kane
Quinn - Savoie - Tuch
Krebs - Cozens - Peterka
Girgs - Asplund - Okposo

Is it ok if we play the season before we get into these crazy ideas? You know, see what we have.

That would be great if Savoie would be ready for 2C. I don't think they would structure the lineup this off-season for that to happen though.

Savoie making the Sabres NEXT YEAR is CRAZY!!!!!!
