Roy, Stafford, Vanek

How do I then go and find out what line that ranks for buffalo? Was that their top line? Bottom line? Etc?

I don't watch every single game out there, i find it hard to follow every NHL team that closely, my "team" that i watch is a west coast team

How do you guys do research and start valuing players?

How do you keep track of who's being added to a team and what impact it will have. For example, if buffalo added another center, someone that could set up better, how do you know if he would impact vaneks production?

Just trying to become a better GM, thanks guys
