Eight Sabres who could win, or lose, in a Kevyn Adams-Ralph Krueger roster
Colin Miller - struggled learning the system but finished strong. Would also be attractive trade bait.
Over the final 19 games, Miller ranked first among all Sabres defensemen in expected goals-for percentage, expected goals for per 60 minutes and third in expected goals against per 60 minutes.
Brandon Montour - struggled with injury, never seemed to fit in. Not expected to receive much of a raise if he files for arbitration.
Girgensons and Larsson - Krueger will want to keep both
Mittelstadt and Cozens - Mitts will need strong camp to avoid being sent down.
Plans for Cozens are unclear.
However, he still needs to add strength during this long offseason and his play without the puck needs to improve if he’s going to play for Krueger.
If Cozens stays up and Krueger doesn't use him it's going to get ugly here.
Vladimir Sobotka - Krueger liked him and he could come cheap
Rasmus Ristolainen - Krueger and Steve Smith showered him with praise, but was it authentic?
