This is getting old fast.

I liked Chad's option: waive Anderson and let people know he's retiring if you claim him.

Not going to happen.

Not how you attract veterans.

The Jost line had a great game last night. I wouldn't swap pool with olo straight up, but it would be interesting to see what a player like pool would bring to that line. Frankly I think we should be shooting higher. I think most NHL teams would agree considering he's still in edm.

It’s a shame the second mitts and Olofsson become useful at even strength the kid line falls off a cliff.

It’s too much to ask for three functioning forward lines at once I guess

How much of that is due to playing with Girgensons who is a known offensive black hole ?
- Swedish_Jesus

I don’t think that much. It’s not like he’s setting these guys up for grade a chances and they are fumbling them.

Funny watched Girgensons go to the net last night, which is cool. And it was a good high shoulder shot and the rebound dropped right between Girgensons legs and before he even noticed it happened the puck was 2ft behind him and Winnipeg was turning to brake out.

Girgensons and Okposo want to play a down low grind em out game and feed someone in front for the shot. That's not really Kreb's game. If they want more offense from him, he needs different wingers.

But overall I think he's playing the Larry role fine

Krebs with Girgs + Okposo was just a band aid to get him in the lineup.

I think part of it is that there's not enough Dahlin + Power to go around.

It's hard not to notice that every goal they score features one of them, and when it's Bryson time, the puck is in the back of their net.

Is Krebs even going on the one game road trip to Nashville tomorrow?

Begrudgingly good post

So jack and JJ come back tomorrow and play with Cozens. That means Asplund plays with Girgs and Okposo. Vinny out tomorrow along with Krebs?

How many times can they do this whole loaning players to Rochester? Indefinitely?

Krebs makes okposo slightly more relevant. Okposo needs someone with talent to play next to him.
He's always got great28 on his side.

I like your suggestion with a shooter between 28 and 21.
But who?

Need to play UPL, so they'll go without a real 4C....fun.

Frustrating time.

How long before a player becomes disgruntled is my question.

I hate even saying it, but the problem would go away at the trade deadline, when they aren't limited to 23 anymore.

Rather get Krebs some confidence back in the minors (if he even plays) than having him rot with Okposo and Girgs.

IMO, Rasmus Dahlin generates more offense than any player in the NHL. He's just always on the ice when we register a goal.

Funny, I didn't even consider the real possibility that he actually goes down. What does that say?

Accidentally flagged. My bad

If Krebs isn't pissed off beyond belief then he has no guts. I've seen him play. He has guts. He's pissed. Make no mistake of that.

Maintenance day for Alex Tuch and Zemgus Girgensons has a non-Covid illness. The Sabres aren’t sure yet if Girgensons will be able to make the trip to Nashville.
