Peterka is on a 35 point type pace this season
Would it be ridiculous to expect 50 next season?

Not sure if your getting the value out of meier.
JJ on a minimum contract at under a million 50 points
Meier at 10 million maybe 80 points.

It's a go for it move. I respect that.

Seems very unkyvyn

JJ is only there to see if Quinn matches there, I expect JJ Krebs Kulich next year as your 3rd line. And would think with the talent Timo will be playing with those numbers go up.

That's very reasonable. Maybe we can get thirtysixensons to get a san Jose poster to put a rubber stamp on the deal.

Pick 28 kulich is probably more valuable then pick 16 ostlund?

Meier would likely be Cozens LW.
Cozens is pacing at 74 pts w 2 rookies.
I suspect he would improve fairly significantly with Meier ... I think 80 pts for Meier is on the low-end.

Lock up
Cozens @ 8 x $7M - $8M
Dahlin @ 8 x $10.5M (starts '24-'25)

Bridge
Power @ 3 x $6.5M (starts '24-'25)
UPL @ 2 x $3.5M

Sign
Jost @ 2 x $2.25M
Asplund 2 x 1.15M


Move on From
Okposo
Girgs

Trade
1) Mitts or Olofsson, Rosen, Pick
for
Meier

Still need to figure out 2RhD position IMO. Use Joker/Bryson, and other of Mitts/Olo + as needed

- IonSabres


It's a good plan. Lot of decisions need to be made, starting soon.

What did Elliot Friedman say about the Sabres.

I tried to find the tweet and couldn’t find what was said

20 minutes later and didn’t follow the person

**Friedman said he thinks Eichel is mad the Sabres are doing so well

- Sabretooth9


no he didn't

he said he's probably flustered that he's not playing well while watching his old team succeed.

Are JJ and Quinn having good rookie years, or just a good month? Seems like an important year-end question.

yes they are. consistency issues are extremely common. their performance when they're 'on' is very promising.

saying that he's mad the sabres are doing well is not accurate.

if anything, there's a small knock of regret in the back of his mind. which would be more accurate than saying he's mad buffalo is doing well.

Think there showing with some growth there both gonna be pretty good. Think when they finally put that line together JJ Cozens Quinn it made us a better overall Hockey team.

Eichel having second thoughts

Vegas having buyers remorse

Eichel struggling

Not the reason they are doing well

Guy traded for him over .ppg

Eichel not even close

Boston will save him

Maybe the subject is taboo. Big part of wanting Meier is that Cozens isn't getting enough help. If you aren't comfortable with them as 2nd liners next year, it does impact your summer plans. Right now, they are the 3rd line.

This will happen at some point when Kreijci and Bergeron are done.

Only 3.5 years left on the deal. Maybe in FA

You really think Patrice Bergeron wants that cancer in his locker room?

I'm watching the Bruins Hurricanes game from yesterday. Halfway through and Carolina is working them. Linus is the only thing keeping this close.

We better have the A game Wednesday. And, Aho is a stud.

Honestly bad trade in the Canucks part.

They didn’t get much in return

Christ, the 'nucks should have gotten more. Two lotto tickets (neither an expensive lotto ticket either) and a bottom 6 player. Wow.
