Tuch is clearly ready. Are you?

So do we have a final roster now?
Yay Bjork made it. Well deserved.............
What do Ben Bishop and Anders Bjork have in common?
Anders Bjork, Stars future skating coachNeither can work for the Stars until next year?
Sure seems like the line combos are settled as well
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.Sure seems like the line combos are settled as well
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.Surprised Pilut didn't make it. He's pretty good.
I think they last 6 games, tops
Granato seems to like keeping guys together. They're a very flexible group though and of course inevitable injuries.I think they mostly knew roster and line combinations after free agency. I think their biggest question was who was going to play center: Mittelstadt, Krebs, Girgensons and Asplund.
Next year I would replace VO with Patrick Kane and I would replace Mitts with Savoie. Hopefully trade Mitts and VO for a RHD.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
What?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
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.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
Savoie making the Sabres NEXT YEAR is CRAZY!!!!!!What?
Is it ok if we play the season before we get into these crazy ideas? You know, see what we have.
