Rosén just turned 20 in December. I think he showed in those 7 games he played up here that he isn't ready. Players develop at their own pace.

It would do Savoie well to play a year in Rochester, imo. As fun as Benson has been to watch, do we need another small winger "playing hard" but only producing 6 goals and 20 something points?

I agree that they need to parlay one, two of these (Kulich, Rosén, Ostlund, Savoie, picks, whatever, etc) into something that can help us the next few years.

I'd throw Samuelsson and Krebs into the trade conversation.

The right trade comes along? I'd trade Power, too. But that would have to be a "blow your socks off" offer.

Samuelsson needs to stay Healthy for a whole year and see where we are at. He could become a nice Trade Chip especially if Novikov keeps progressing.

Kev has misread this team and what their needs were every year so far.

Year 1: Cup contenders. Year 2: Tear down that wasn't needed. Year 3: Development year where they should have made the playoffs. Year 4: Run it back with the golden child, no changes needed.
- Lunaion

Yes he has, I think he really F@cked up last year. Should have done better in Nov.- Dec. When the D was devastated by injuries, and the TDL. A couple tweaks and they make the playoffs and maybe just maybe that changes how Sh!tty the offseason was.

Novikov is officially your new Nadeau.

Just another in a long line of disappointments. Here we thought we had our shutdown D for the next decade.

Yeah, that skating just never improved for Nadeau.

Still think he can be solid, he just can't play 22 minutes a night and seem to stay Healthy.

Remember what life was like without a 1C? Careful what you wish for.
- Lunaion

I'm torn on him, as he is better than what we have seen this season(ImO)
Ok, keep him.
Get Stammer for 2C and push Cozens t
Line to 3

Benson Tage Tuch
JJP Stamkos Kulich
Skinner Cozens Quinn
Greenway FA Rosen

Byram Dahlin
Power Samuelsson
Johnson Cliffy
Bryson

I like that alot.
Stammer is the guy who has ice+cred and is the C to led and drive accountability having been through the wars and won.

Now if we want to use Thompson , Joker and some prospects to get Tkachuk and put him at C.... Sign me up.

Remember the last time Stamkos was coming here?

The last thing they should do this summer is plan around a premium UFA. This team is screaming for a trades. Can't wait and hope for a UFA.

They don't need more kids next year. They need a couple skilled, high compete vets (top 6 and top 4, imo)
- Powerslave

Don't hold your breath.... they wont do a damn thing except run it back yet again... Even though we all know the definition of insanity

Savoie far ahead.

- sabresfan69

Hell of a season by Firkus, an early 2nd round pick in the same draft.

Was hoping the Sabres would take him with their late 1st round pick.

The team they are on is loaded.

Sabres wouldn't know how to use him

No win situation. Even if he makes a good trade, could have used that help the last 2 years. Their plan makes no sense and never has.
- Lunaion

Can any of us even identify what their plan was, if they actually had one?

Need to make a few trades for that UFA to want to come here.

What makes you think that Stamkos who just turned 34 is still a Center?

He sure looks like a winger at this point in his career.

I saw an article come out where Las Vegas said they build their roster at the trade deadline.

Funny, its the opposite of Adams saying it needs to be done in the off season

Well have him take the Faceoffs and switch to LW as play goes on.

I'm not sticking up for Adams, but that's easy for Vegas to say when the league all but gifted them 3 full 2nd lines. Vegas was in no position to do anything but add via trade.

The league knows this…Adams has 0 leverage

He's excellent on the dot
- Powerslave

Yes he is, but he's more of a Winger know. He's taken less and less Faceoffs the last couple years. Think he's at his lowest total this year actually. Doesn't mean he can't take the Faceoff in a important situation.

Can any of us even identify what their plan was, if they actually had one?
- kingcong39

Draft, develop, don’t worry about making the playoffs, win the Stanley cup consistently…..

aside from coaches, gm or owner


what is the biggest need for the fall?

1. RD to play with Power?
2. Top 6 center?
3. Middle 6 winger?


I put top 6 center because of the chance Tage goes to the wing

I think the Rd needs to be had in a trade

- homiedclown

Should be some RD available, just does Adams have the Coconuts to go get him.

Dumba playing over 20 minutes a night for the bolts

blocking shots and dishing out hits

would have been a nice fit IMO to play with Power
