I really don’t want kahun on the 2nd line. Cozens or Mojo works for me

Whatever works.

As we see across the league, chemistry is huge (not as big as synergy, though)

there's been a little bait spread, but most haven't bit

seems like if there isn't comments made that are so far left or right, most let it pass

you know me, i follow that stuff as much as anyone else...and you also know i have my opinions and i'm not afraid to jump in...what really gets to me is how personal it gets...really no need for that..

gonna be an interesting next 70+ days, especially with a refrigerator-sized asteroid coming our way and set to hit nov. 2:

See the problem with all this ..... video and all

The guy literally didn’t listen to the cops and started walking into his car. If he just listened like normal human beings do.

He would’ve been fine. Instead, he didn’t. Then went into his car for god knows what or tried to drive away

I blame the guy who got shot. He did multiple things wrong.

And gerbe. I can send you a video where the cops couldn’t get a guy pinned down. The guy got into his car pulled a gun and killed 1 cop and shot another.

So I don’t blame the cops for their reaction.

- Sabretooth9


1st of all it is the cops fault if they can't handle a skinny dude when there's 3 cops then they shouldn't be cops

2nd what gives them the right to shoot a guy 7 times in the back and paralyze him In front of his kids and the entire neighborhood with kids just walking around?

Skinner's not a playmaker like Johnny hockey He is a magical wizard with a Puck

Pair in a defensive forward and I think that line could be really nice.

No but Monahan is good enough of playmaker to supplement Skinner with some finishes.

I can dm you a video of a guy getting into his car, pulling out a gun? and shooting 2 cops. 1 died.

So again, The whole thing could’ve been avoid if the guy just listened to the cops instead of walking to his car.

It’s common sense. Even if you didn’t do anything wrong. Listen to the cops and do what they say. Walking away and into the vat was probly the worst thing the guy could’ve done

Yeah, I agree. I mentioned this last year. Cozens should start on the wing. Ease him into a center position.

Or play cozens at center every single preseason game and see where he’s at. He was actually better than mittlestadt last preseason.

True but hes not Connor mcdavid ,Crosby type playmaker That's how I view Johnny hockey .. in playmaking stats

Nothing against skinner though

Yeah but putting him at center in preseason is not gonna give you any idea how hes gonna be in the regular season so will be better off putting him at wing

monahan is very talented...sabres need talent, skinner needs talent to play off of...

still don't like the 8th-overall in this year's draft for him, though

20 Sean Monahan 20 CGY C

When Sean Monahan was 20 he finished 20th in the Selke award just behind Crosby. Has he fallen off the rails defensively over the years?

I haven't watched him enough.

Depends. Gotta shelter Monahan as well. So gonna have Eichel taking d zone draws and bring back Larsson to flip the ice. Checks out. Eichel being one of, if not, the best zone exit/entry players and Johan being a good at flipping the ice as well.
