Don't really like Greenway there, hopefully he brings more next season. Think Mitts and Tallness can switch if things get stagnant. I do think 1 of Kulich or Savoie will be up here, but for now until we see Adams next phase.

Really don’t like greenway that high up. He should be a 4th liner

Put savoie with that line…. With his speed and skill. Should work well together

How much better is Girgs than Jost or Greenway?
- Lunaion


You're forgetting the "role" that girgensons plays on the current Sabres team. Heres the 2022/23 goal totals:

Girgensons 10 goals
Jost 7 goals
Greenway 6 goals.

Seriously, that's on odd take.

Why do the dynamic duo get so many tough matchups?

Kyle slowed down a step, girgensons has had a great defensive season.

10 goal 4th liner , doubt either breaks the bank.

Great 28 had what I would call an offensive season. Offensive to my eyes considering what he makes.

Since we're being fair and objective, here's the Wild points this season:

Greenway: 7
Jost: 3
Girgensons: 0

I can tell you right now this wouldn't be my roster, but I am taking some of the thoughts of other posters thinking that Savoie and Kulich will not be here. I think atleast 1 will make it out of Camp but Until then it's hard to find a spot for Greenway. I put him there because he relatively played decent with Cozens and Tage plus I wanted to give Krebs a shooter with Quinn. I don't like Greenway and hope he brings more next year, kinda throws a wrench in things if he doesn't.

Where else does he fit if Girgensons or Okposo is back. If we move Krebs up he needs a shooter on his wing, Greenway ain't that. And from what I saw, he wasn't very good along the boards and that's why JJ is on the Left with Krebs.

Savoie will look raw and out of place initially, like JJ, Krebs Quinn did early this past season. At that time, he is 2 - 3 years younger without any AHL experience so looking out of place should be expected.

Still, he has zero to prove and learn from in Juniors, therefore IMO it would be a big waste of a year to send him back. Leave it to Donnie to figure the proper development path for him given the reality he will be in over his head initially...rotate him in on L3, couple games in, couple games out. He can develop b6 practicing, watching and playing.

Jost and Girgensons are expendable. Maybe Girgensons resigns and there may not be a roster spot for Jost.

I got a feeling Okposo is gonna be back.

Good Post! I agree that Juniors does nothing more for him and if he does stick it changes things. I believe Kulich has a good chance to. Greenway throws alot of scenarios of especially if he doesn't bring anything more.
JJ Mitts Savoie could be a fun line to watch. Just like I think Kulich Cozens Quinn could turn into a Power House line once they all mature body wise.
Fun thing with Kulich as I watched him develop this year, he started to notice that he was Big enough to play against the players in the AHL, after the New Year he goes to places he wasn't going consistently before. He's gonna be are Timo once he matures physically.

Well I am the last person to disagree with you on not bringing either Girgensons or Okposo back. And that would change a bunch of things.

He made it sound like there was unfinished business during his presser and his teammates want him back.

We will see.

Do you think Donnie is gonna say bye to Greenway if he pounded the table. Adams really made that known.

Sabres are so loaded with Forward prospects that this could be the perfect draft to Trade the 1st for a Good Player. But also that good that that player could help you in a few years to. Really wish they didn't trade that 2nd for Greenway
