I don't think he is 1a or 1b quality, but as a backup to a strong starter he isn't horrible either.
Had a poopty season on NJ.

most goalies have poopy seasons on crap teams though

Agreed.
Career .906 sv% ... just hasn't played a ton of games and bounced around a bit. If the Sabres had a strong G and needed a BU, he'd be fine.

does not change what a piss poor job of asset management the sabres did with him

if you have him penciled in your top 4 nhl lineup, don't low ball him with a 2 way deal

and if he earns an ahl all star , call someone else up to sit in the presser

- homiedclown

he is not the only example of poor asset management. and it goes back pretty far hasek, peca, breire, drury, dumont, mckee hell even novotny got jerked around. and that list goes on and on

Idk Forwards logg jammed but could at 2C if you wanna use Mitts as a trade chip for a D or G.

Mitts value probably low right now though

Interesting decisions for Adams.
Last several years, the Sabres had an abundance of bottom 6 level players.
Now, the have moved that up a notch to and abundance of middle 6 level players, although with proper development some have popped up higher.
That's very good organizationally.
I'm just not certain where many of these young guys level off at.
I'd rather see what R2 has than use Vinny H though.

I agree that Trocheck is a 2C.
I wouldn't sign him as I would rather see what Cozens can do ... is he a 2C or 3C long term.
Same with Mitts...what is he?

I like the Skinner-Tage-Tuch/Olo line...just am not convinced they are a bonafide 1st line....I need to see more.
With that as a back drop, If they were to invest in a C, I'd rather they invested in a 1C. I've advocated for signing Giroux for 3 years

No thanks, guys 34 and continues to regress (is benefitting from playing on Florida)

Why can't Tage be our 1C? only one full season there, definite room for growth.

I agree though that seeing Cozens at 2C would be nice but with Donnie and his love for Mitts that might not happen anyways

I think krebs centers quinn and jj on the third line in the fall and cozens gets bumped up a line to center casey and olofsson

assuming no big changes

To be "fair", would someone be considered local from lockport?

The last job offer you received, was really beause your good at schmoozing.

Your years of education and experience has zero to do with being hired? Just nepotism

- Boss34

I am not from Lockport moron. You and Fitz clearly bang.
