Every team needs that "solid" d man.

Yeah, for sure
We could use a RH guy like that to pair with Dahlin

Idk?
If one of these guys can settle in as a good partner for Dahlin, then i think our defense can be in good shape

Dahlin taking that next step could be huge for us

Tage could definitely be a good nhl player. I see him as a serious kracken target. Him and locomotive.

There is no doubt they upgraded the F group on the roster, the rest not so much.
We'll see growth from Dahlin, but I TV will be interesting to see how they pair guys up.

All in all though, I have low expectations with respect to final results...the division is too tough for this incomplete roster. Only expectation is entertaining hockey returning.

Bottom line is I believe Vegas is closer to the truth.
The traditional Buffalo Hope Train is fully charged up and revving its'engine hard.

They chose to bring back and bring in:
Lazar
Girgensons
Thompson
Eakin
Reider

The bottom six forwards are awful. The defense sucks, and they have one blind goalie. 7th maybe.

Who the f*ck is “locomotive”? Girgs?
These nicknames are generally not that funny,
and hard to keep track of

I think one of our defensemen could be the Seattle pick- Montour? Miller?
I’m guessing not too many decent RH guys will be made available for them

Oh my god dude you are the worst. LATVIAN LOCOMOTIVE has only been Girgensons' nickname for 6 years now FFS and why is it supposed to be funny?

Also "Tua sucks"

"Kinda silly to judge a player this soon"

"Tage sucks"

Jesus Christ dude why do we even pretend like you are ever going to pull your head of your ass and act normal?

Worst contract in the league, and a strangely familiar comparable player in terms of on ice 'impact'? 🤔🤔🤔

Looks better than u know who as a rookie
Might wanna hold off on assessing him right now anyways. He hasn’t even played a season yet

- jdfitz77


Except his ceiling is nowhere near as high as you know who. weak arm and can't run...

Wait, Tua can't run?

He also set the NCAA record for YPA.

I think u missed the point
My point wasn’t to say Tua will be better than Allen,
just to say it’s far too early to write the book on him (Tua)

And Tua has a very high ceiling
He’d have been picked 1 or 2 in the draft if he wasn’t hurt

Weird how even good players analytics can look bad when they’re on bad teams

Yeah and Dwayne Haskins had 4800 yards passing and 50 TD's at Ohio State 2018, won the Rose Bowl MVP. How is that working out for him?

Has anyone questioned Haskins' arm strength? Because I'm pretty sure that's what we're talking about.

And Ohio State QBs fare about as well as USC QBs in the NFL.
