I'm happy that they left the Flyers out with the additons of Timonen, Hartnell, Briere, Lupul, and Smith.
Their lines should be
Gagne Briere Knuble
Hartnell Carter Lupul
Kapanen Richards Umberger
Eager Potulny Upshall
They probably will have to dump some D-Men cause they have excess amount of D-Men. I say Kukkonen, Parent and Jones will begin the season in the Phantom system. Rathje is hurt.
Timonen Smith
Gauthier Hatcher
Coburn Picard
As for the Sabres, they are my dark horse pick, because they have talent from within in Zagrapan and Stafford. I still think with Roy, Afinogenov, Vanek, Kotalik and Hecht they can compete. And their defense is still strong with a healthy Spacek and Tallinder.
