Eakin being in the starting lineup represents a disappointing and obvious roster failure from the GM, unless the intention is to lose. 

After getting what needed to be said out of the way:

4-2 Sabres, Mittelstadt with 2, cOzens with an empty netter, and Dahlin with a couple helpers

Projected Lines 

 

Pretty sure Lance only put the GEO line 4th to keep heads from exploding.  If they get less 5v5 ice time than the Cozens line will be shocked & will be surprised if they get appreciably less than the Thompson line.

Ruotsalainen working through as a D-man in drills.  Annoying but understandable until there's an 8th healthy D-man with him being out of the top 12.  But fer cryin' out loud, get him in the top 12.

Will be interesting to see if Eichel gets announced at the start of the game.  Samuelsson will be.  Will put it 20/80 that Jack is mentioned.  That could be, how do they say, um, awkward.

In playoff position as of this morning.

Here's hoping the Habs are looking past us tonight.

Allen played goal last night, so hopefully we're being disrespected and facing their #2 (whose name escapes me).

No Carey Price gives me some hope for Gm1.  I'm going to be looking for a strong effort for a full 60 minutes and hope everyone plays like their job is on the line - because it is.  

I'm not surprised with Eakin in game 1 vs a younger player.  He will either make his case to stay on the roster, or to be released by the team in the first 10-15 games.  I expect most these forwards are on short leashes this season and coaching is going to be looking for game-to-game improvement and effort when making roster decisions.

Eakin/Caggiula/Bjork <<<<<< R2. 

Yeah, R2 needs to be in the lineup somewhere.  I'd put him in place of Eakin even.

I’ve actually never been more excited over a  rebuild. We’ve always gone off track during every other rebuild, and I just feel like Adams is going to keep us on track and build us a winner

Same.  And welcome to Sabrespace!

I hope you're right but I doubt they waive him.  Even if he's not playing he'll be the 13th forward.

I really like the look of that lineup and think that these guys have a real chance to make a run once they make the playoffs this year. I don't think I have eve been so excited for a season to start in my life! Go Sabes!
