No one wants that in the locker room. Good thing we didn’t trade for him.

He's obviously forgotten the raw milk part of his diet.

How about we ask Olofsson to chip in, I know he's streaky!! Atleast he scored last game, maybe he goes on a 10gm bender
- Buff36



He needs to be packaged with one of Rosen, a Russian or Joker for a #3-4 D man. Hopefully Adam's can get that done this off-season

They gave it back defensively when Tuch was here.

I said a week ago when this team looked dead, Alex Tuch, while being excellent is going to get over rated like Samuelsson because the team collapsed for a period of time around when they got hurt

You could put Bergeron on that right wing and they would get caved in.

Not many forwards worse defensively in the league then Tage and Skinner…..

With that being said, you need what they bring offensively.

PK needs to go on a diet and work his cardio. He looks like he might have a coronary at any moment.

Are players not allowed to have slumps or periods of adjustments. Geez it's been 5 games, we let Olofsson get away with it for 50 games a year. And atleast Tage is still producing.
- Buff36


Tage has been bad defensively since he came into the league.

He’s also a top 10 player in the league so you take the bad with the good.

Doesn’t mean they have to keep Skinner on his LW.

That’s all I’m saying

It’s the one glaring weakness in Tage’s game. He’s not good at the defense or he does not try at the defense. He needs to put work into this. He does not need to ditch being an offense player, but many greats were called out on this in their careers and turned their game around to make their teams legitimate contenders. Stevie Y comes to mind as the most obvious comparison

Tage, Skinner, Cozens and Power have all been fantastic offensively but are really struggling defensively.

In Cozens and Powers’ case, they are young and they still have time to round out that part of their game.

Addition by subtraction by getting rid of Joker, Olofsson, and Bryson but it won’t be nearly enough.

Can go right from the Sabres game and watch Levi and Northeastern at 7:30. Believe it's on ESPN+.

Cozens possess the will to play good defense, as you stated, he is young and learning it at the NHL level. I agree on Power. Skinner has never played any team defense in his career. I firmly believe this is why the Canes wanted him out. Didn’t want his lackadaisical defensive play to rub off on the new studs coming in.
Tage maybe falling into this. I think moving Tuck to Cozens wing and finding a winger that plays a good 2 way game with offensive upside for Skinner and Tage would be best. We’ve tried moving Skinner and it’s a disaster unless he’s with a Tage or Eichel type

Sabres are gonna change as there prospects take spots. Even as there top prospects take spots it will help Defensively to. Most are decent to good 200ft players already. Yes there will be growing pains as they adapt to NHL Hockey. They need to work on there Defense. They need atleast 2 more Good Dman. It would go along way, and less time spent in are end means less bad goals.

@Connor_J_Hughes

From my understanding on #Jets & Aaron Rodgers: Everything that needs to be done is essentially done in regards to a trade. Sides have worked out what needs to be worked out.
So if Rodgers wants to be a Jet, he will be a Jet.
Broken record, but … just waiting on him to decide

Wait, so the Red Wings and Sens could be ahead of us today??

I could’ve sworn those teams weren’t going to pass us and we’re so stupid to add talent. Could’ve sworn

Yes, I want the Jets to go get 40 year old Aaron Rodgers and pay him $40 million a year.

He would be there for 1 year maybe 2 max.

Aaron Rodgers is in the twilight of his career and is rapidly declining

That also means the Jets don’t go after Lamar Jackson

But this would cause you to actually use some sort of logic in any of your thoughts at any point in time, which frankly none of us have come to expect.

Yea but an average Rodgers plus that Jets defense is going to be a very tough out for the Bills. Rodgers in this division is very likely very bad news
