This could work too:

Dahlin-Johnson
Power-Joker
Samuelsson-Laaksonen

Johnson playing the right side know.

Think everyone needs to take a step back with the Eichel return. This isn't gonna be a normal trade.
- Buff36



I need a team's #1 or #2 prospect/"young guy".

He did at the WJC.

Faber is a RHD I believe so he’s back on the left side playing for Minnesota but if he can be a TJ Brodie for us and play the right side it makes Johnson ever the more valuable moving forward.

Hey Hank how about a pre game Analysis ?
- Rsh


I'm hopeful to have some good news in the near future about getting press credentials which would open up some more in-depth post-game content. In the meantime I'm going to stick to analysis and editorials rather than pre-game primers.

There's not much more I could provide pregame than what Sabres.com has available, and the game day lineups come out very late which makes it hard to do

That's good to hear, yes it would make him more valuable.

Just saw mitts is out, you should really trade your 2022 first and Quinn for kravatsov (however it is spelled) might not be enough but he is an elite prospect but the rangers are too deep with elite talent that he couldn't make the team

You usually don't have atrocious takes like this.

Owen Power has 6 points in 3 games and has looked fantastic apparently

Driving play offensively and has been near perfect in his end

- sbroads24


Stating the (almost) obvious but I'll take the driving play, like Johnson, over the points any day. I know a select few demand points round here

Linus Ullmark will back up Jeremy Swayman in the Bruins opener.

Something, something, greener grass

I'd go with Tokarski but I haven't seen an announcement. Don't break Anderson this early in the season against a bad team.

Agreed.

Sabres are stacked on D.

I’d be looking to cash in on a Bryson or Samuelsson + for a good young forward soon

Bastard, someone needs to shave off that ugly stash he has going.
- Buff36


In my opinion it was not intent to injury
Caught him in wrong spot

We really do have some amazing young D, thanks Jason, and I really think we could use one or two in a trade, but they're also all so young and it's going to take years for all of them to be dominant as a group. Definitely something Adams is thinking about. Of course right now we have the time to let them grow.

That's really something that Swayman outperformed him. I didn't really pay attention at all to their preseason, I'd be interested to read a bruins perspective. Shouldn't be hard to find I guess

Yeah pretty much just caught him where the padding wasn't.

Me neither, haven't paid much attention since he signed there.

What was it… Price, danault (LA), Hoffman?, the offer sheet guy… that’s 4 solid pieces missing right there…

Does caufield, ‘22 first, plus, plus, plus?… get anywhere on an eichel deal? Do the even have another 2-3 pieces that would help?

Caufield
22 first. - unprotected
23 first - conditioned/ protected
+ - any RHD worth acquiring?
+ - division/conference compensation

- Gr8daygo
if they offer caufield and 2 first you take it. I doubt they will though

Yeah there's no way they offer that

They're going to be a lottery team this season, having to play a real schedule and not just the Canadian teams, not having Price, no Weber, and if they trade Caufield and aren't get a healthy Eichel back until early January they are going to be way behind the 8-ball

I really hope people keep some perspective if they start 2-0 and not meltdown when they inevitably drop some games

They don’t have the talent to make the playoffs or contend

But if they go out and skate like crazy, hit and look like a well coached team it will be a successful season in my eyes

There first 10 or 11 games they have a relative easy schedule where they could potentially have 7 wins.

But yes, even if they start 7-0 this season they will come back down to earth. In my opinion as long as they have the same effort they had on opening night that is all I am looking for.
