Forwards combined for 1 hit last night, they are having some fun with that too.

Such a strange team. Top half looks good, bottom half is rough.

The mix is wrong, just like it has been for years now. They need this guy in the bottom 6



Need a little Larry Lazar at the very least

Don't think Girgensons accidentally bumping Cernak as he fell into the boards exactly counts, but right now we will take anything

Tyson Jost is the forward tuff ruffian

That ain't gonna cut it

Lol, I know you're a big VO fan, Boss. I think it's an interesting discussion though, in all honesty. VO is largely invisible for 59 minutes a game and then he does something sweet in that one minute.

How is that accurately valued? What does it cost?

I think he's a super interesting player for that reason. It reminds me of late-stage Peter Forsberg when his foot turned to soup and he could only play on the power play but it was still pretty good when he was out there

Olo really needs a top line center. Mitts < top line center

I love the shot. Love the 7th round story.

Goals are goals. Teams need goals. Pp or not

Dislike the softness and non existence for 59 minutes.....

3rd line wingers don't get top line centers.

Later in their podcast they talked about who you build this team around. I think it's clear at this point that it's not him.

Maybe not
But ppl on here acting like a guy on pace for 41goals should be shipped out asap is pretty ridiculous

He did, but he did still lose his job. The bigger point is that this guy was no sure thing , not to mention his demand for 6x6.
- Slump Buster


Ullmark played 41 games last season.

Guess how many Swayman played?

Was a 1st round pick by Colorado in 2016,
10th overall

Never lived up to expectations

Not asap, at the first decent opportunity. Ideally, before next season.

His whole game is predicated on being relevant for only seconds at a time. You can watch a whole game wondering where Olofsson has been and then bam, it's a goal.

I legitimately don't know how to value that.

I dont think anyone ever said "what a shift by Olofsson" but he'll probably end up with 30+ goals. I just don't know what you do with a PP/empty net specialist like him.

He has value, I just have no idea how to quantify it

If he didn't have 3 or 4 EN goals his numbers GF/GA would be even worse. He is horribly inconsistent and disappears for weeks

So 3rd line:
Casey needed 1 last look IMO.
Cant give up on our 8th OA pick.

- Boss34


I'm curious what your concern is about cutting ties with Mittelstadt, and why he needs one more look.

Olofsson has 3 power play goals in 22 games, and he's on pace for 11 power play goals.

That doesn't sound super interesting.

He had a fantastic view of the playoffs from his spot on the bench. I am sure they didn't sign him thinking that Swayman would be the guy in the playoffs.
- Slump Buster


Sabres fans would do cartwheels if they ever got a goaltender to produce numbers like Ullmark did last year, and that's when he sucked according to you.

Even Biron was ragging on him this afternoon saying to sit him, but wondering how it looks to sit a guy that is on pace for 40 goals?
