Im guessing its a get up to speed day for them. WJC while being the best possible preparation for them to come into camp is not an NHL camp, they are kids coming in late but in game shape no need to rush them.

Cozens should make the team so im not worried about it

There's also something to be said about making them earn it. Put those two on the 2nd team to start, if they look good, move them up. I expect Quinn to have a pretty tough time tbh.

New lines. Hall Eichel Thompson. Olofsson Staal Reinhart. Rieder Eakin Okposo. Skinner Lazar Sheahan.

Right handcuff your 9 million dollar winger with a guy who might not be in the lineup everyday and a guy that was on a PTO yesterday and only signed because of Zemgus

I seriously cant

Especially by all accounts the Skinner Staal and Reinhart line was the best line during the scrimmage

I see everyone is losing their poop.

Day 1 for Cozens. Give the kid a (frank)ing minute, Christ.

Borgen and Thompson climbing depth chart. This is a good thing. "I wish Thompson was good" was something I generally heard since the (frank)ing trade.

Cozens *will* be on the day 1 roster, he may or may not play in the first game, but he will spend a great majority of this season on the active lineup.

Having a line with Skinner and Cozens is not something to b1tch about.

Practice? Yeah, it's (frank)ing practice, where coaches are allowed to tinker with lines.


Quit losing your poop.

Normally, I would chalk it off to coaches always making weird lines, but Kruger's handling of Skinner makes this worrisome.

Except we've seen this story with Skinner before. For me it is very worrisome.

capfriendly, yahoo fantasy also have him on IR.

He'll hit LTIR if the Sabres want or need the space.

- NEDinED

So he's not in the top 6 today, and they didn't put him with the obvious checking line, and us as fans want 3 scoring lines, in which Dylan will play on 1, and it's now an atrocity that Skinner and Cozens will potentially be paired.

Take a (frank)ing 5, Dennis.

Just wait. It'll all be ok.

Exactly this

Even if you put Cozens on that line, Ralph has stated that Cozens will start on the wing, having Lazar center them is nuts

Ralph doesn't get the benefit of the doubt with Skinner anymore

I'm not losing sleep about it just yet, more like just rolling my eyes.

Doing the good work here buddy

It is a little strange how it always seems to be skinner, but this is exactly it. Someone is getting bumped to that 3rd line this year and it really doesnt matter who, if the team is scoring with 3 lines

Skinner and cozens on a 3rd line could be very dangerous

if Rieder Eakin Okposo is the third line instead of the 4th line then we have a coaching issue



too early to freak out IMO

, Ralph has stated that Cozens will start on the wing,
- Stripes77

IMO this is a mistake to make this assumption before they even see what he brings to the table

It absolutely matters who, especially when you are already paying massive dollars to Skinner while you have no idea what kind of player Olofsson is away from Eichel.

Do you really want to still not know that when you have to pay Olofsson again in 2 seasons?

Doesn't seem like an intelligent idea.

How dangerous will Skinner and Cozens be dragging around Lazar?

This continued F'ing with Skinner has gotten nowhere fast. Fvcking Kim should be all over his ass asking about the cost of his 1st and 4th lines...about the same (assumi g Okposo as 4rw) ....is that really a good thing?
I love Ralph's always upbeat commu location style but this freakin a bridge too far.

Would you have said the same about larsson? Who actually played commendable with skinner for that short time. If the wing to center break in process is 10-15 games, thats not so hard to swallow.

Does anyone know kirby dachs progression games wise, he started on wing but moved to center
