I'll be the guy
Is UPL really sick?
Did some type of move fall through or needs more time to complete?
Would you give Kulich some games here after the tournament he had especially after sitting both 77 and 22?

Sitting JJ and Quinn gave them all the flexibility they needed to play him. Don't see a reason not to believe them.

Hino having a competition with Krebs on who can miss more breakaways.

But man is Dahlin a superstar. Sometimes you got to do it yourself if your the man.

Bring in someone like Murphy or Savard to play with Power
That bumps Jokiharju down to RD3
Bring in another guy to pair with him & put Bryson on the bench, maybe someone like Dumoulin from PIT

Samuelsson-Dahlin
Power-Murphy/Savard
Dumoulin-Jokiharju
Lyubushkin
Bryson


That would be a heck of a defense imo

Damn, they need to get Johnson signed and bring in another RD, doesn't matter if it's a 2 or 3.

Johnson will have struggles as a young defenseman though
Which is fine
But also will be frustrating at times

I’d be open to trading him to get Power a partner


Johnson for Murphy/Savard
Maybe PIT would be interested in Portillo for Dumoulin?

Might have to add on our side to either of those
But u get my point

I don't think so they still have 23 on the roster as Joker took Fitz's spot since he is on waivers so that washes.

Sabres have to make another move to get UPL on the roster if I'm not mistaken. Could also be why Hino and Asplund are dressed to showcase one of them.

This point probably isn't being talked about enough.

They have guys at the AHL level that they like. Seasoned guys like Malone, Biro and Murray in addition to young guys like Kulich and Rosen.

They should absolutely be exploring a trade of Asplund if there's a market

Sure if Johnson let's them know he isn't signing I would be up for trading his rights. But I would much rather keep and sign him. Kid has turned into a very good 2 way defenseman that plays both sides well.

They might never give us the full details, the NHL often doesn't.

Here's my opinion: Fitz hasn't cleared and is still on roster. JJ or Quinn were 'sent down' for tonight, making room for Joker. Could/were likely planning on the other spot for UPL) They aren't really showcasing anyone, just have a combination of a roster spot mess and that line has been cold for a few weeks now.

If they could get a waivers-exempt, B-prospect RD in the 20-23 year range in exchange for Asplund, it has to be worth exploring

This almost certainly would have been spotted on the central registry. At minimum capfriendly would have had something on it.

I highly doubt they get him signed.
