8 goals in 11 games in the A.

Wonder if he has Jody Gage's records in his crosshairs 😂

Like every coach, Grönborg wants a fast team. But he knows speed depends on talent.

“The biggest thing for a coach is to assess the team, see what the strengths are,” he said. “I think you need to involve the team, the players and everyone around the team in that process of identifying the strengths. And based on the strengths, you need to have a game plan on how you’re going to get the games played into your strengths.

“Everyone wants to talk about fast-paced games, and I agree with that. I like that part of it. But sometimes you just don’t have that kind of a team. Well, then you have to make adjustments to a new way of thinking. So I think the biggest thing is the adjustment part of it and agree on ‘this is our strengths’ and how do you get games to play into our strengths?”

He should have just said "thats a good team over there..."

Were they a top pair league wide?

but where would they be ranked compared to the other 30 teams, middle of the pack?

Zhitnik and Shmelik

varada and the 3 shots off of him every game disagree


but what a hip check

If the Sabres indeed pick-up Letang, with his 3 years left, does it foreshadow them drafting Bowen Byram? The timing fits.

Then again, Cozens was ranked 5th for NA skaters, while Kakko and Podkolzin were 1 & 2 ....
Hmmmm
7th OA looking good

Trading with Pitt feels like a huge mistake. If they are ready to move on from their aging stars, they are a poor fit here. Factor in the asset cost and contracts...it's just a bad idea.

Letang had a great year. Guys like him can skate forever.

Old guys suck.

Pass on Letang.

When he plays, he's great. A 32 year old who stays in the lineup slightly more than Bogo.....not someone I'd pay a huge cost to acquire.

Agreed, the price must be right.

56 Pts, 16 Gs, 0.86 ppg
53.5% Corsi For
+13 ( not negative 43!)
Plays 25+ minutes a night
Same number of blocked shots as Rasmus
2 Cups, no team in like 25 years has won a cup without having a previous SC winner on the roster
Would command respect for a locker room that is begging for leadership

Anything but washed up

I completely forgot about Remi Elie.

I thought you were on the win already side?

Respected winning veteran status. Still a top pairing guy, with 3 years left if his play does decline sooner than later.

Sounds like the guy who wouldnt want kadri because he isnt 21 and his 3 year 4.5mil wasnt cost controlled enough

Agreed, the price must be right.

Spot on.
J would not trade Rasmus for him, as I want him to return a high quality top 6 F.

But if Pens are going to retool and need cap space, then that Cap Space should be asset #1 to them.

Nylander, erod, Blues 2nd rounder in 2021 for Letang.

Sabres talking to Pens about Letang
- SABRES 89

Tying up $12+ mil with Bogo and Letang

What could go wrong?

On the plus side, Pitt won a cup without him, so I guess we could too if he gets hurt
