Just so you guys are aware Ryan O’Reilly takes the most face offs in the league and wins like 60% of them so it will fix our face off percentage. He’s also an excellent two way player and is suited to be 2nd line Center. Then if we land Tavares? The offensive #1 Center will be fixed. Then Dahlin will also fix our lack of puck moving defenseman.
Well, not to be a Debbie Downer, but you also posed a possible worst case scenario as well if you substitute teams...
1) Statistically speaking, Sabres have the best chance at Dahlin. So, let’s assume for a moment they draft him.
2) Buffalo is less than a couple hours away from Toronto. Tavares can be close to home without all the media. His buddy Okposo is there also, lol.
3) ROR is already there.
4) They got some player name Eichel.
Now, I’m just messing around, but if Buffalo manages all that, we’re gonna be stuck in the cellar of the Atlantic division for years.
