For the first time this year, Don Granato is making a significant lineup change, taking Victor Olofsson out, and placing Peyton Krebs in the top-six. Sneaky Joe explains why he loves this idea and expects it to go well for Krebs.
Plus, why the Sabres are favored to beat Tampa, and where the Lightning are vulnerable.

Krebs top 6 🤔
I hope he can deliver. This seems a bit premature but he’s definitely improving.
Playoff teams don't have Krebs in top 6…..sorry !!
Offensive dynamo – that has never scored 20 goals at any level as a pro. That's top six. Same goes for Mittelstadt. Until Granato or Adams addresses the weakness on defensive responsibility from the backend & thru the middle this team will never win.
Olofsson brings nothing to the table. Unless they find a way to mix in Savoie, keep Krebs elevated as long as you can – make it work.
Don’t tell me Peterka is playing bad! You are a fool, he’s flying out there playing great…Peterka hardly played last year, lots of games he sat out full periods
Something to consider is the Sabres may have gotten slower with the addition of Benson, albeit, he is their best prospect and one of the bright spots. But I’m anxious to add the speed of Savoie and Kullich. Rosen also moves like lightening.
Make sense.
You have Okposo and Girgensons on the third line. They’ll rough up anyone that starts any thing on the ice.
Greenway on the third line that does that same thing to defend out guys someone gets too aggressive
And you have our enforcer on the second line that will have a lot of TIO and will fight anyone lol
if chokijaru keeps turning pucks over & standing still like a statue a lot of forwards are gonna get benched i guess the whole top line looked bad okposo girgenson had rough shifts too but its all olaffson's fault same old sabres so far poor officiating has put us in a hole both games
As far as putting Krebs on line 2… ok. Give the kid a shot.
As for our 'D'… plz get rid of Jokiharju!!
Maybe add Clifton on 2nd pairing & bring up Ryan Johnson (Johnson & Johnson pairing..😂)
And I wish we would add a proven veteran goalie…& bring Levi up slowly…as a back up.
Let Levi play like 30 games, & then by next season, make him the starter…as long as he proves he can handle it.
I like it! Totally agree about Krebs. He is a gamer!
Johansson's GAA is 4.07, & Tomkins' GAA is 4.14, & both have a save % under .900!!! 😮😮
Time for the Thompson line to start on fire!!!
I have a feeling Zach Benson will score his 1st NHL goal of the year vs TB.
