2020-05-17
In the Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast’s 31 Beats series, Elan and Brian are on a league-wide odyssey to explore the fantasy present and future landscapes of each of the NHL’s 31 teams, gathering info by interviewing the people who know them best: beat writers!
For the second straight season the Buffalo Sabres started strong but then fizzled away from playoff contention in the 2019/20 season. The Athletic’s Joe Yerdon joins Elan to explain what went wrong and what the Sabres will need to do to right the ship. Other topics discussed include:
- Why did Jack Eichel‘s production tail off before the pause?
- Who’s good at winning faceoffs on the Sabres (spoiler: not many of them)
- Why was Jeff Skinner held off L1 all season?
- Was Victor Olofsson‘s rookie season for real?
- Is Dylan Cozens ready to take the leap to the pros?
- Is Casey Mittelstadt a bust?
- Is Rasmus Dahlin on track to become the next Erik Karlsson?
- How good is Linus Ullmark?
- Why does Joe’s Twitter bio say he’s a #NotedJerk?
Follow Joe on Twitter @JoeYerdon, and check out his work at The Athletic.
Players discussed on this episode include Jack Eichel, Sam Reinhart, Jeff Skinner, Victor Olofsson, Ryan O’Reilly, Dylan Cozens, Casey Mittelstadt, Rasmus Dahlin, Linus Ullmark, Carter Hutton, Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and more.
