Owen Power -3, Byram -2.....they aren't good with each other.  Dahlin and Muel are +2 by contrast.  I'd put Power with Clifton personally.

Remember when we thought we could replace Skinner's, Mittelstadt's, and Olofsson's production with a bunch of 4th liners that played the right way?!?!

We didn’t.  To start the season Skinner was replaced by Peterka.  Peterka was then replaced by Benson on the second line. Mitts was replaced by Cozens and McLoed moved into Cozens spot. Olofsson played 50 games with limited ice time on mostly on the 3rd and 4th line.

On the ESPN feed Ray Ferraro was destroying the Sabres for not making moves all year, not shaking up the core, 14 years without the playoffs, Rochester was older than Buffalo last year. Then both announcers shook their heads about the season ticket letter about the organization thinking they are almost where they want to be while being last in the East

This is a really important point. This is the first season in awhile that the Sabres' D-corps has an older average age than the Amerks' D-corps (mostly thanks to Komarov). Except, I think, when Erik Johnson was in the lineup, but even then I think the Amerks had the higher average. It sounds wild because it is.

Benson is the only other one who cares

Adams is going to ruin Benson by the time his bridge contract expires.

I expect Jokiharju will have some success elsewhere too. 

Yup. I know he's not what this team needs because the D-corps is lacking muscle and heart across the board and he also lacks those things, but he's solid defensively and makes fewer mistakes than the kids, and I still think he's a Lydman-lite to any slightly-above-average D partner. He'll be fine in the playoffs with someone as a 6D.
