Thorner Posted January 16, 2018 Report Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) Take a shot at projecting the 20-Man Sabres roster at the time of their next playoff birth. No “FA” or “2018 1st” allowed - use your imagination. Be lenient on criticism, due to time frame, players conceivably may be listed who haven’t stepped foot in the NHL. The exercise is a fool’s errand, but have at it. I’ll give it a go to start: Olofsson - Eichel - Pu O’Reilly - Mittelstadt - Nylander Davidsson - Asplund - Okposo Smith - Rodrigues - Baptiste Guhle - Ristolainen Scandella - Boqvist McCabe - Fitzgerald Ullmark Johansson Edit: I think one of Nylander/Reinhart is on the team. Went with Nylander but could be either, in my estimation. Edited January 16, 2018 by Bjorn Borg Quote
Swedesessed Posted January 16, 2018 Report Posted January 16, 2018 Not sure if I can project the 2025-2030 NHL Entry Drafts yet to see what Sabres will be taken Quote

Thorner Posted January 16, 2018 Author Report Posted January 16, 2018 ^I’d honestly love to get our hands on Bennett. From the Kane trade? Quote

Well, when you consider that good teams are built down the middle, we could do worse than a foundation of Eichel, Mittelstadt, and O’Reilly. Just sayin’. Quote

GASabresIUFAN Posted January 17, 2018 Report Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) Tkachuk Eichel Mittelstadt Guhle Ullmark The rest of this organization is Pu. Edited January 17, 2018 by Georgia Flakt Quote
LGR4GM Posted January 17, 2018 Report Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) To get this to work in that time frame... Olofsson - Eichel - Reinhart Nylander - Mittelstadt - Pu CJ Smith - ROR - Okposo Davidsson - Asplund - Bailey Guhle - Risto Scandella - Antipin McCabe - Fitzgerald Ullmark Vet backup Just seems unlikely all that will hit. If I could use our 2018 first, Dhalin/Zadina/Tkachuk/ Boqvist added to that mix. Edited January 17, 2018 by SkuggaLiger Quote
North Buffalo Posted January 17, 2018 Report Posted January 17, 2018 Tkachuk Eichel Mittelstadt Guhle Ullmark The rest of this organization is crap There is some optomism! Quote

I just have a feeling we get a Boqvist/Hughes rather than a Zadina. Quote
Eleven Posted January 18, 2018 Report Posted January 18, 2018 (edited) I can't. Right now, it seems like many of the Sabres in a future playoff lineup are playing Peewee or Bantam at the moment. Edited January 18, 2018 by Eleven Quote
GASabresIUFAN Posted January 18, 2018 Report Posted January 18, 2018 I can't. Right now, it seems like many of the Sabres in a future playoff lineup are playing Peewee or Bantam at the moment. I was going to say in diapers, but that amounts to the same thing. Quote
Thorner Posted January 18, 2018 Author Report Posted January 18, 2018 I was going to say in diapers, but that amounts to the same thing. Is Adidas in the diaper game now for Peewee and Bantam players? I suppose there’s add space. Quote
