Just saw Xavier Rhodes now off the injured list.

Didn’t really like the way Bills played against Packers. Packers running at will on them. Bills couldn’t stop it. Hope that doesn’t turn into a problem for them. One thing there was to like is Von Miller taking out 3 lineman on the 4th down stop. Just a great unselfish play. Team player. 1/11th. Don’t blink.

The bills were basically allowing them to run. They were up 17 and the packers were d draining the clock.

I see no issues

If things work properly Savoie is the piece we send to Van for Bo Horvat on a sign and trade long term deal.

This would be a dumb move. Move the most offensively gifted prospect in our system for

Bo Horvat? He has had 52 points, 39, and 53 points.

Why do we want him? Easy pass.


The sabrws biggest need is an elite franchise center / player. Bo Horvat is not remotely close to that answer

Pass pass pass pass.

The franchise player is Dahlin, the #1 C is Thompson assuming he plays at a near PPG pace.

He might not be the McDavid's of the league but he is turning into a true #1 C

Playing big minutes, playing the PP, the PK and on the ice late in a close game.

Tage is legit turning into a legit force

Ride it while it's working. Have to wonder how long he can handle top line minutes. Also might get exposed a bit on the road.

Yeah, very beneficial right now.

They need a legit top 4RD, and a finisher on Cozens line

Oh for sure. He just said we need franchise center. That is Tage.

I like Skin and tuch as his linemates. Actually feel like its a perfectly build line. But man if we ever upgrade Tage’s wings. Watch out

Cozens is turning into that finisher...this is his breakout year where he scores 30

Cool, now put another player of his or JJ's caliber(Kulich) and let's get this party started..
And I like Tuch there, just don't think he stays there because of Okposo.

tage is tied for 5th in scoring for centers this year

Completely agree. He's on pace for 35. I have faith that he'll keep it up. His shot looks much improved.

Yes I was gonna say him, but he seems to be playing well where he is.

I don't think that line sticks either. When the dust settle, I'm guessing:

Skinner, Tage, Tuch
Quinn, Cozens, JJ
Asplund, Mitts, VO
who cares

That would make for a really interesting line with the speed JJ and Cozens get in on the forecheck

Wonder if a line of Quinn Krebs Tuch could work. You have the forecheck, you have the passer and then the finisher.

Sure, after you deal Mitts and VO. Playing VO 5v5 is difficult to work around.
