You have one spot in your top 9 for 4 prospects Savoie,Kulich,Ostlund,Rosen. Unless you are stashing them all on line 4 and rolling them 10 minutes a night.

Pick 2 and trade 2, IMO.

- ImThatGuy


Ostlund is most likely a C.
Savoie probably better at C given his 200' game, but could be a very effective W
Rosen is a scoring W, if he sticks
Kulich is probably a W in the NHL as well

Quinn Savoie Cozens line would be scary, scary good..
Kulich Krebs JJP could be alot of fun to watch

Not sure Ostlund, a set up C, is a 3rd liner? Surely not a 4th, unless of course they transition to a team with 3 2nd lines

Rosen- Olofsson (but closer to replacement level at 5v5 and not a complete black hole). They had Wallstedt right there which is unfortunate. Pick seemed like a reach at the time, and evidence to date hasn’t proven otherwise. Rosen will be an NHL player but hardly one I wouldn’t deem untouchable in any trade this offseason.

Savoie- Brayden Point lite (similar styles but I dont think he possesses true PPG offensive ability that Point does. A 60-70 point complete pain in the arse to play against though).

Ostlund- Mikael Granlund (I think Ostlund’s point totals will ultimately depend on who he plays with but he’s got speed for days and playmaking ability that can fit like a glove in our middle 6 with the shooters we have coming through the ranks).

Kulich- JT Miller (no nonsense north south player that I truly think can rack up a ton of points at the next level riding with Tage or Cozens)

Re: Rosen, it's interesting to look back at that pick and the 2nd round pick of Leinonen from last year, and wonder where the Sabres would be with Wallstedt and one of Warren, Luneau, Kyrou or Casey.

It's not like those alternate options are hindsight either as many on this board mentioned Wallstedt in 2021 and all of the defensemen I listed in 2022.

Yes I also forgot to add JJ Peterka into that lineup.
- ImThatGuy


I get the marketing push from the coach and staff about Greenway, but he's ideally a 4th liner.

Don Granato did not receive a formal explanation from the NHL after the call on the ice was overturned on Hudson Fasching's game-winning goal Tuesday.

Granato had two thoughts after watching the play again:

Eh. I think they should definitely trade one of them.

Only one I wouldn’t touch is Kulich.
Ostlund is 2-3 years away from being a regular so guys will be out the door by then

- sbroads24


The obvious one is Rosen. No idea how he fits in the top 9.

Important what you mentioned about Ostlund. Smart of them with that pick, playing the long game and banking on stashed talent developing in time to have an ELC hit the lineup fully ready years down the road with a high impact.

Savoie and Kulich seem like obvious replacements for Mittelstadt and Olofsson after their contracts run out next season.

Currently on a 15 game goalless drought. 3 apples in that span.

Before getting hot in January, in a period of 25 games he had 4 goals and 4 assists

Other than the current drought. He's had 3 other droughts over 5 games.

Reinfart.

Wonder if Florida hockeybuzz posters want to bench him?

Could use a little looks see from above. Maybe ask him if he likes warm or cold climates.

Of course not.....

I will say Snatch and Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels are solidly funny films.

That we can agree on. Guy Ritchie rarely makes a poor movie, at least that's his original idea and not an adaptation. Though the last one with Statham "Wrath of Man" kind of sucked. Hopefully this new one is better though it came out last week and I've heard absolutely nothing about it, so I'm not getting my hopes up.

Rhino has nothing to do with this team, he's helping us not scoring for Florida. Olofsson is not helping us win games right now. I would much rather see JJ find his game, to me he is part of the future, Olofsson is not.

I actually liked this movie. Not great but interesting.

The acting in it was pretty bad though

Haven't seen "Wrath of Man."

New films could do with some restraint IMO. It's like everyone is trying to be Quentin Tarantino. My wife and I tried to watch a new film called "Babylon" a couple days ago. Within the first 5 minutes someone had been poop on and someone else pissed on as if this were fethish porn. That's when we opted for "A Fish Called Wanda."
