honestly i was worried about him after last season but 6 points at worlds shows me he's got it ngl i think he's going to have a big year, finally some scoring on our top line man

tbh i agree he looked solid at worlds and its been a while since we've had this kinda speed on our top line, fingers crossed it translates to the reg season @Sabres71

PP

@PuckBunnyPam: agreed, its been ages since we've had this kinda speed and skill up front, fingers crossed he can keep it rolling in reg season

yeah @PuckBunnyPam ages is an understatement lol, havent seen a combo like that on our top line since maybe the jack eichel days man

yeah ages is an understatement lol, we been stuck in a rut for years with some boring lines and now Helenius brings this kinda juice back to the table man @Sabres71 got any thoughts on who pairs with him?

tbh i think henri juri lehtonen could be a good fit to pair with sobri, he's shown some decent chemistry in the preseason games imo @sam_sabres

@SabresNation i was thinkin that too man lehtonen's speed matches helenius' style and they could cause some real problems for dmen imo

SE

@sam_sabres i like that pairing, havent seen lehtonen play w/ anyone who has his speed yet so it'll be interesting to see how he fits in man

@sam_sabres i gotta agree lehtonen's speed would pair well w/ helenius' playmaking ability, might finally give us that real top six threat we've been missing for years man

@SabresNation honestly i think lehtonen's speed will be a huge upgrade for sobri, they could get into some serious rhythm out there and maybe even help us snag a top four spot tbh man

SE

@sam_sabres tbh i think u might be onto somethin there with lehtonen and helenius, could finally give us some much needed depth up front man

yeah just thinkin about lehtonen's speed giving sobri an edge man, we could use some of that momentum in the first quarter tbh

tbh i think lehtonen's speed will be a huge upgrade for sobri too, now we just gotta see if we can get some chemistry going man @sam_sabres had the same idea

imo sobri's playmaking ability is way underrated and i think he'll finally get the pp production we've been missing, lehtonen's speed will just be the icing on the cake @SabresNation

SA

@sam_sabres imo lehtonen's speed will be huge for sobri but we need to see if our d can keep up, dont wanna get caught pushing the puck too much man

@sam_sabres: ngl that's a fair point @SabresNation, dont wanna get caught out of position but i think heleneus and lehtonen can adapt to our system man
