I don't think a pressbox night would be bad for Dylan.

Why?

He's doing okay but he's struggled at times this year.

Didn't the Sabres play a game last year where the other team was riddled with COVID and it should have been canceled?

For those keep track, if your main streaming service is through Fubo, which doesn’t get and Turner stations (hint TNT), you’ll need 3 different subscriptions.  ESPN+, Fubo, and whatever service you choose to get Turner networks.  No matter what you’ll have to get two subscriptions.  So ***** dumb.

Yep.  Difference was, none of the other team's players that should've been out actually were out.  (Until after that game that is.)

That actually was the pebble that really started to pick up velocity leading to last year's avalanche.

Yikes. This roster looks even more badder without Olofsson and Mitts. 

That being said it's a MUST WIN and they will win.

Cagguila is the Swiss Army Knife on this team, isn't he?

And also last year the vaccine was just coming online.  The Sabres are all vaxed now.  No, it's not 100%, but it does give protection against serious illness in most cases.  And finally.... if the Sabres lost a few heads there are some guys in Rochester I wouldn't mind giving some NHL time to.  I'm not sure we could really say that last year.

I was thinking the same, well atleast kind of imagining how he would fit on that line.

I think he'll be ok there for a short spell.

Early on I thought that would be Bjork, but as the season goes on I think Caggiula is nosing ahead of him on the depth chart.

Nice time on my way to work at 11 hopefully itll be reasonable for first hour and a half and i can watch

MIttlestadt and Olofsson (maybe Tage?) are really the only forwards on this team who are in any way shape or form dangerous

He has been the best of the JAG forwards, IMO (Hinostroza, Eakin, Bjork, Hayden being the others)

For the record, I think of Sabres in three groups: the JAGs who are space fillers (Hagg, Pysyk, Butcher, Miller, Wolanin, Tokarski), the Vets who have leadership roles and/or may be around for a while (Skinner, Okposo, Girgs, Anderson), and the Kids who have to carve themselves a role on this team moving forward (Asplund, Thompson, Olofsson, Ruotsalainen, Cozens, Dahlin, Bryson, Jokiharju, Murray and Mitts)

Don't forget Asplund.

Like an old rusty dull one that only opens half way and smells like dog farts

Asplund is good, but I don't yet consider him dangerous.

Agree, accept.... Murray may or may not be more than a JAG, and possibly one or more of the JAGs become more permanent fixtures (possibly Caggiula or Bjork).  We will see.

Are you answering my question with a question?  
 

If Olofsson is out then no way do you sit Cozens.
