If you're trying to trade people you cannot scratch them. Especially in the case of Vic who has been a streaky goal score has entire career, He can honestly score 5 goals in the next 3 games. If he were to do that he would be traded before the month is up in my opinion. I no longer have to wonder at all who is going to replace his goals.

Good post

Coach don clearly sees mitts and olo struggles....

Play em to snap out of the slump
Play em to trade em

Doesnt help , sitting them in the press box IMO

That's great to hear. Dahlin, Tage, and Cozens have separated thenselves from an ability standpoint from everyone else. They're special players. I think we're in very good stead for the future if any of these three wear the C.
- lacaprup

I'd be happy with either of those 3 wearing the C. Throw in Tuch and Sammy in the convo for wearing an A. Quite the young leadership group we have.

Free advice to Johnny Hockey: keep your head up, kid. The Vicious Viking will be patrolling the ice tonight looking to go reaving.

Watch that jost cm olo line crush it tonight.

listen.. CBJ may be the second worst team in the league. If that line is not at least acceptable by their standards, they're totally (frank)ed.

should be a blast

Between you and me:

I've seen enough of both okposo and girgensons. (On the ice)

Girgensons 2 x 2 million = 4 million as a highly touted ufa
Okposo 1 x 3 million. Year to year deals ...

Seems high for kyle, but you cant expect him to take a 5 million $ cut? Maybe?

What were you thinking?
- Boss34

These are 4th line grinders. 1m. It's almost insulting to offer that, part of why I could see them moving on.

With a Cozens extension, this isn't a cap floor team anymore. I don't see them sentimentally overpaying, especially guys they've already overpaid.

And they don't need to

girgens is playing 12 and a half minutes a night
okposo is playing over 15 minutes a night

that's third line minutes not 4th line grinder minutes

girgens is playing 12 and a half minutes a night
okposo is playing over 15 minutes a night

that's third line minutes not 4th line grinder minutes
- homiedclown

Think everyone knows why they are playing more minutes than you'd like.

Dahlin C
Cozens A
Girgensons A

WTF, why exactly do we still want Girg's on this team?

he is a 4th line plugger, he has done nothing in a Sabres uniform. Tyson Jost is a younger Girgs. We need to launch players like Girgs and Okie.

Plays lw/center
Good pk
Faceoffs
Solid defensively
No offense

Upgrade or no ?

- homiedclown

because Mitts and VO SUCK Donkey balls.. that is the only reason they are playing 12 & 15 mins a night. If Mittle-shat and VO were even average Okie and Girgs would be playing 5-8 mins a night on a checking line.

This team (KA) isn't gonna move on from both girgensons and okposo.

1 million would be very insulting, both would move on in heart beat. Neither is a 39 year old corey Perry type.

Hope the Sabres see things differently.
They move slowly and respect the leadership, probably glad to not rush a younger captain or 2.

Fix the 3rd line in the offseason. Moving mitts / olo, cant see them replacing 4 forwards

3rd line plugger.....

The leadership is so important for the youngest team in the league.

Remember naming eichel captain too early.....

Jost has that 1st round top 10 petigree, still got waived...
Girgs , not so much

Would have been very easy to announce Okposo as C and sign him to an extension. Would have been good optics.

You know Ventura is their guy for player valuations. They might do the smart thing here.

Jost has a 2.25m QO. I'd say it's likely he doesn't get qualified here.

Maybe they discussed an extension?

Dahlin making a huge jump this season has me leaning towards him as the next captain.
Dangle the "c" as an incentive

You seriously think Ventura low balls these guys with 1m offers?

I realize that's how you feel and respect your opinion

Let girgs be a coach then. his playing days in the 716 should be over along with Okie.

and lets face it, only reason Girgs & Okie are getting 3rd line mins is because Mittle-shat and VO are a franking train wreck.
