I'd rather have Danault over Cirelli.

Considering he’s a UFA next year I don’t think the price would be too steep either.

Is the remaining %25 all the girgensons signing? 😉
- Boss34


No, as follows:
-Girgensons probably ~10%
-Quinn vs Rossi is another ~10% , I think the pick between Rossi and Quin came down to position, after both players checked off certain Intangible Traits, Production and Skill boxes
- Moves not made ~5% ... but this looms bigger over the next month if no additional moves are made.

That rating will drop to say 50-60% if they dont make at least 1 and probably 2 of: i) properly balance the L vs R D, ii) Goalie, and iii) not getting a steady 1RhD partner for Dahlin.

Taco - girgensons is going to play up and down the line up. Buckle your seat belt!

Everyone single one of you guys is gonna make the JA17 turn around. Get used to these comments:

"I always liked him"
"I thought he fell over easy, what happened "
"Wow lion eater"
"Former allstar playing to capabilities "
"He's still paid too much, but at least he's scoring"
"He compliments eichel and hall"
"Well he was a first rounder"
"Anyone can score with jack"
"Maybe Boss and his cousin were right"
"Lucky season, let's see him do it without eichel and their bike built for 2"


There will still be a few guys that just cant admit their wrong. Flacco69 ring a bell?

Fitz and tooph69 want in on fantasy hockey btw

Cant wait for fitz magic vs. Relevant skins

I liked Girgs his first 2 seasons or so...then, the steady decline in his game began until becoming 4th line checking wing.
I'll go on record now...
If Girgs did indeed play well on Eichel and Halls line; that would be awesome...as it pushes Olofsson and Reinhart both down to line 3 to create a viable scoring threat while being defensively responsible. Girgs could also provide that back check support.

We shall see.
Go Sabres!

in a year where they need to take a big step foreward


getting hall and staal for 1 year and only giving up a rental in johansson is the best short term play and long term play if quinn and cozens pan out

The Sabres had no clue what to do with Johansson. He wasn’t a 2C but he wasn’t quite a good winger.

And they paid him to pay center

"“We really had stretches from both Ullmark and Hutton of strong goaltending last season,” coach Ralph Krueger said. “At the moment, they are our goaltenders. We are working hard to work with them through this long break.

For the moment, this is the way it is. I would feel extremely comfortable if we begin the season..."

- homiedclown


The bolded makes me think they’re looking to improve the goaltending

Good player
Would MTL trade him to us though?
And what would he potentially cost to get?

Hard to imagine they wouldn't be. Kruger is just playing the line that they're happy with their guys in case that's what he ends up with. All reports have suggested we're calling around about goalies.

It is a riddle. A clue can be found in Boss' most recent Girgensons appreciation post.

Gem of the day, told to me by my daughter:

So a panda walks into a restaurant, orders a meal, eats the food, pulls out a gun and kills the waiter, then exits the restaurant.

The manager tracks him down outside and says, "what the F!!! You just killed my waiter".

The panda says, "hey, I'm a panda...look me up in the dictionary".

So the manager looks up "panda" and the dictionary says:

Panda. A large mammal that eats shoots and leaves.
