Wow, i totally glossed over that
Is Asplund really playing defense tonight?!
- jdfitz77

It's a joke. I thought the Jeff Jillson reference was a giveaway but, yeah, Larry Asplund isn't playing defense to the best of my knowledge

miller's soft goal or soupy's delay of game penalty

which was the final nail?
- homiedclown

The penalty. Soupy knew it.

I’m know a lot of ppl here don’t like him,
but he’s earning himself another contract here-
and in unexpected ways imo
- jdfitz77

but assuming cozens and tage are fixtures as centers

they did not draft savorie to be the next girgens

45 prospects and 45 draft picks should be enough to get 1 or 2 though
- homiedclown

U can have all the prospects/picks in the world,
but that doesn’t mean another team will be willing to part with a guy they cover themselves

If you can't find Tom Wilson Andrew Peters still has value once every 4 games when he abuses someone on the other team. Do it enough and Dahlin will suddenly be left alone. The other route is what we're doing now. Dahlin will get tougher ever year, but until he's 25 he's probably going to lose more than he wins. He'll be bad MFer at 25 though.

Disagree
He brings no real value, which is why there are barely any guys like him in the league anymore

Ok….
I didn’t notice the Jillson reference either at first
My bad

- homiedclown

Fair, and i am a Savoie fan
It’ll be interesting to see what they do with Mitts
Bc if he keeps this up, he could be a pretty good bottom6 center for us
Or he could move to the wing even

Who do that have that fits the “tough guy that can actually play hockey” role?

I haven’t watched SJ much the last couple years

Karlsson with half retained for a *conditional 2023 first

Yeah, just ran out of steam in that 3rd, all the injuries

The Dahlin injury hurts bad no matter how many 3rd pair quality defensemen we have here
Tonight could be another tough watch

Luke Kunin

your not getting him for a 3rd, you would have to pony a bit up and make a real hockey trade

- Hank Balling

5 years left on Karlsson’s deal
No thanks

And he doesn’t help our supposed “toughness problem”
Just another “soft Swede” for Boss to whine about

Nope

Larry Asplund is barely playing forward to the best of my knowledge ☝️

Luke Kunin

- homiedclown

Are the Sharks looking to trade him?
He’s 24
I’d think that’s a guy they’d wanna hang on to
Can’t hurt to call though i guess

I know a lot of ppl here don’t like him,
but he’s earning himself another contract here-

- jdfitz77

If isn't q case of not liking him, it's completion at his position coupled with an emerging need at other positions. IMO, they need a Tuch clone at LW, and of course a big need at 2RhD.
Crowded field at C
Tage
Cozens
Mitts
Asplund
Krebs
Savoie
Ostlund
Kulich
Kozak
Donnie likes Krebs at C, seems perfect for 3C which displaces Mitts.

Gotta make some moves at some point.
We'll see

Sucks Dahlin is out tonight. He's been nursing something all week. Hope we can get him back for Vegas and Boston next week.

Maybe we win 7-4 tonight.

Well the way Mitts is playing, he seems much better suited for a 3C role than Krebs

But if Mitts can bring back another “Tuch” type player, then great
I just don’t know if that’s realistic though


And I’m not even penciling Ostlund, Kulich & Kozak into any slots with the Sabres yet
Even doing so with Savoie is a bit of a stretch at this point

We just don’t know how these guys will turn out
Remember Mitts was a top10 pick
And we’ve had many other 1st round busts as well

Remember when Grigorenko & Girgs we’re gonna be our “future 1-2 punch”?
🤣🤣🤣
Obviously that worked out like 🤮🤮🤮

I doubt Krebs is ahead of many at this point.

He's absolutely cookin' Can'tSkate28's ass...25% more points, in 20% less games at 33% of the cost.

- The_Inkwell

If the Sabres keep it to within three tonight I'm calling it a moral victory.

Down three or potentially four top-4 caliber dmen is a ridiculous predicament. And this ain't the Coyotes they're playing.

Power might play 30 mins tonight

I doubt Krebs is ahead of many at this point.
- lacaprup

It's early in his development cycle. Donnie likes him.
You just hating on the guy thinking he is a 4 year vet like Mitts.
(I kinda like Mitts and am rooting for him cause many here hate on him and I find it funny to see him succeed...but the reality is continue to build trade value then leverage that value to improve the team at another position of need)
