Why not try? We have all this talent, let's use it.

You were right

Just saw a Rangerfan mock trade for Mcdavid... Laf and Kakko actually included this time around

My expectations of Benson this year have been reserved as well.

That’s fair , if true.

I’m very excited for the Sabres future, wish it was now though.

Big game tonight

Here's a novel idea

The Sabres could *gasps* trade a prospect pick or two to get established veteran players in here who fill a need and stop expecting 18-21 year olds to come in and fill out the roster. Development shouldn't be done at the NHL level 99% of the time

We will get a look at savoie, Benson was a nice surprise but terrible rules are keeping these two from where they really need to be. In Rochester

Kulich is scoring at a rate where he deserves to be here and im still not willing to put the type of responsibility this team needs on his shoulders

If the Rangers make the trade and get Eichel, do they beat NJ last year in the playoffs?

How far would they potentially have gone?

Sabres projected lineup

Jeff Skinner -- Tage Thompson -- Matt Savoie

Jordan Greenway -- Casey Mittelstadt -- JJ Peterka

Peyton Krebs -- Dylan Cozens -- Lukas Rousek

Zemgus Girgensons -- Tyson Jost -- Kyle Okposo

Rasmus Dahlin -- Ryan Johnson

Owen Power -- Henri Jokiharju

Connor Clifton -- Erik Johnson

Devon Levi

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen

Scratched: Jacob Bryson, Victor Olofsson

Injured: Alex Tuch (upper body), Mattias Samuelsson (lower body), Brandon Biro (upper body), Zach Benson (lower body), Eric Comrie (lower body), Jack Quinn (Achilles)

If we had a GM with a brain and a coach with balls, Savoie would be getting a look and one of Krebs, Girgensons, Okposo would be scratched

savoie is getting a look on the top line with that post

Maybe I was wrong about getting a look at savoie

Edit: oops I cant reed

I fail to see why this conversation changes when Quinn is back tho. Krebs okposo girgensons will still be in the lineup providing little to nothing

Skinner Tage Tuch
JJ Mitts Benson/Quinn
Cozens Kulich Savoie
Greenway Krebs Rousek

Typo, meant Kulich

Don't know how serious, but looks like Diggs hurt his back. And the Bills could be without 6 starters on Defense that started the year this week.

no big deal

if they can't beat Denver short handed at home, they don't deserve a playoff game


side note, diggs will be diggs on monday

Well just wanted to say don't know who is, but if your part of the 1% Happy Birthday!

Excellent post. A ruling needs to be established immediately to avoid this nonsense with not allowing players to play in the AHL. Why did Shane Wright get the ok, but others don’t? Is this rule totally subjective depending on the player and who owns their rights? It’s truly a detriment to all parties.
I’ve been calling for a Kulich call up, give him a true test and not just a cup of coffee. I think some players getting called up recently know full well that it’s probably only a game or two and they never get acclimated,

Sabres' lineup vs. Wild w/o Alex Tuch, who is day to day:

Skinner-Thompson-Cozens
Greenway-Mittelstadt-Peterka
Rousek-Krebs-Savoie
Girgensons-Jost-Okposo

Dahlin-R.Johnson
Power-Jokiharju
Clifton-E.Johnson

Levi in goal. UPL backing up.

The gap between the top 6 and bottom 6 is massive

Well let's see if Krebs elevates his game.

no big deal

It's 3 spots, not 5, as Oloffson has no spot on the team now, and Jost is an extra forward.

Donnie pounded the table for Greenway, and they're going to cut ties after next season...?

Tage, Skinner, Tuch
Cozens, Peterka, Quinn
Greenway, Mittelstadt, Benson
Savoie, Kulich, Rosen
Krebs

Where does Turcotte fit in above?

Not even bringing up Ostlund and other forward prospects they have in addition to the ones I named.
- kingcong39

Krebs is gone. And as I said, I'd probably trade Mitts to sure up the right side. 7x7 doesn't make sense for us. Yes, I do think Greenway is gone too. Maybe another 1 year deal max. Outland is two years out.
