Who was that?!

I think there was discussion about trading back and grabbing him and a D-man, didn't Columbus have like 3 1sts that year?

Not even trading back, there were legit actual people wanting him #1 overall instead of drafting a D man.

It wasn’t many people but they existed

Yea a lot happened.

The conversation was we didn’t need Power we had Dahlin.

We needed forwards.

Trade back and take him first were both conversations that were had.

We have 1 superstar on defense and one in the making in power. Samuelson is gonna be very good.

No need to trade 2 more first for a all star D. Especially when we have 2 first overall picks back there already.

Def need another good RD. We have the prospect to make a trade now or at the deadline. Think they might want to see what our defense looks like healthy.

Id rather look for a middle 6 forward to be able to keep some of the kids down in the farm that need it…..krebs,quinn.

He has different levels though. Last night was 10/10 Skinners. The NY Islanders last year at the end was 10/10 Skinners. A total pest. Sometimes he looks very content to ride the Tage Thompson train. He was conducting the train last night.

Skinner dominates Montreal for some reason... Check out his numbers against them.

Quinn doesn't need it. Leave him with Cozens and JJ and watch them flourish

Read the article the other day

San Jose is letting karlson free roam to get his numbers up for trade
Not as good in system

Could someone post his defensive Numbers

- Anderdog


Karlsson has the most even strength points of any player in the entire league.

He only has 6 points on the power play.

All while playing on a dog poop team.

Why would you not let Karlsson do what he does best?

It's what makes him a great player.

Wonder what their budget looks like next year, if they continue to struggle to draw fans. Caps will still be tight, lot of opportunity again.

Blah... not going tonight. Will be going Friday. Jealous of anyone there tonight. It's going to be a bender for sure. Use public transportation, Uber/lyft or be sober. Lots of boozers out tonight.

Heading down to Hofbrauhaus/casino about 5 ish I think. Definitely going to use Uber/Lyft.

Haven’t been to a game in a long time kind of excited.

Sbroads is just making crap up again
That’s why he’s not giving any names of the people who supposedly wanted Eklund > Power

That's the problem when your team is so thin up front. When your best line is on, like last night, it's fantastic. When they're not, which is inevitable during an 82 game season, this team becomes a chore to watch.
- buffalofan19


The Quinn-Cozens-Peterka line has been going more often than not.

Fix the albatross third line we have and we might be cooking with something.

Quinn hate will not be tolerated here.

@Stripes I move for a two month warning ban.

I wanted a forward over Power.

I’ll admit it.

So far, I’m happy to eat crow

Quinn was excellent last night. He’s going to be very solid in every facet.

My big question is whether he’s durable or not
