This would make sense if the fandom had the ability to fire Botterill, but alas..

Yes, the 58 points is the one time he surpassed 50 that I referenced.
Yes, he has problems staying healthy - *literally* the first thing I said. Which is one of the reasons putting him down as a lock for 100 points in two seasons is a stretch, to put it kindly.
Everything about his metrics just screams perfect compliment for Reinhart.
Yeah, I just posted that exact scenario in the roster thread. The idea would then be to bring in a defensively competent third line center and create a second checking line that can play low event hockey like the Larsson line.I just wonder if slapping him and Sam on either side of Mitts is enough to get second line center performance from him. Probably not, but not impossible.
Brian Boyle?Yeah, I just posted that exact scenario in the roster thread. The idea would then be to bring in a defensively competent third line center and create a second checking line that can play low event hockey like the Larsson line.
His shot assist numbers also make me think he could be a good compliment to Skinner when we need to break him and Jack up for whatever reason. In that scenario Reinhart could then slide up with Jack.

Johansson-Mitts-Reinhart
transforms to:
X-Eichel-Reinhart
Skinner-Mitts-Johansson
Really highlights the best thing I can say about this signing: it gives us 4 legitimate top 6 options. Hopefully having 2 legitimate players on each of the top 2 lines can hide warts in the other two spots (Mitts and a one dimensional goal scorer or unproven rookie, likely).

Eh I don't personally like Larsson with those line mates but really the only difference in lines 2 and 3 is usage/zone starts and how often you need to throw out your D zone line as apposed to your O zone line.I'm still saying...
Skinner - Eichel - Vesey
Olafsson - Larsson - Johansson
Sheary/Erod - Mitts - Reinhart
Girgs - Boyle - Okoposo
X Smith
KHL - Sobotka
AHL - Nylander, Thompson

The line combos will be very interesting though

Positive conversations with coach Ralph Krueger and excitement regarding the Sabres' young players were factors that helped bring Marcus Johansson to Buffalo, the forward said during a conference call with the media on Monday.
Johansson signed a two-year, $9 million contract with the Sabres on Saturday, the latest move by general manager Jason Botterill geared toward upgrading the team's depth at forward.
"I think talking to Ralph and Jason, I like what Buffalo's got going," Johansson said. "Talking to Ralph, he's got some really good ideas on how to play, and it's a really young and exciting team. I'm looking forward to it and once it came down to it, I was really happy I ended up going to Buffalo."
I liked the point about the last two acquisitions being guys with significant playoffs experience. The team lacks those guys.https://www.nhl.com/sabres/news/buffalo-sabres-marcus-johansson-ralph-krueger/c-308206054?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=referral
I mentioned earlier that I thought Krueger could be a great asset in getting free agents to sign here. Looks like it might have helped with MarJo.
