Focus a year or two out. I think you have to project that before you can extend Mitts.

If Peterka is a 4th liner, he's a really nice trade chip today and less so after he's stuck on a 4th line for a year or two. If you want to trade to upgrade the D, maybe he's the guy.

My thoughts were eventually a hy-brid 4th line.

Defense with some snarl and scoring.

Peterka could fit that roll for me. Rolling a non traditional 8-10 minutes for the 4th line.

Some of these ideas sound great until you consider the ramifications. They should have a strong middle 6, but your plan would play them less to run a 4th line out more.

Couple things baller.

You included upl in the trade offer for hellybuck.
What kind of draft capital/value do you think upl has in a trade? Tire fire = no value

Also, maybe I'm comparing apples to oranges but, how often has an nfl team drafted a qb 1st oa, then sign a top 10 -15 qb over the past 5 years to a deal?

Plenty of teams add the vet backup to hold the fort.... but inevitably hit the bench.

This organization is flat out giddy with levi. They have their #1 goalie for next year and the future. I'm not sure of winning next year vs. Developing levi is gonna play out the way you're hoping.

I'm sure other GMs (possibly including Adams) like UPL more than I do. Hell, Jonas Johansson got the Sabres a 5th round pick just because he's tall, despite the fact that he's terrible.

Same with Olofsson- he has value, the question is whether he has value to the Sabres

If Krebs and Quinn are as good defensively as the numbers suggest they are they will end up being a “matchup line” down the road.

👍

Krebs could keep that 4th line center role as far as I'm concerned.

You know who I'm pairing him with.... KOG

??-Cozens-Quinn

Girgenson played against him a total of 9:43 TOI last season while Matthews played 15:04 TOI away from him.
Cozens played against him 10:04 TOI.

- IonSabres


Good pull. 👍

About 40% girgensons vs Matthews

Seeing these kids play in Rochester during the playoffs, plus Savoie, I don't see how we bring back all 4 of VO, Jost, Girgs or KO next season.

- The_Inkwell


Tough for the kids to bring defensive awareness or true nhl leadership, so I think you can include 1 or 2.

Vo and jost are long gone IMO

Agreed all around. Really love what Jost provided, but I don't see him getting a QO given the circumstances.

VO gone.

KO back on a 1 year deal.

Girgs back on a 1-2 year deal or gone.

girgens, okposo, jost

pick one as that is all you need


they will probably keep either girgens or okposo for leadership continuity

Absolutely agree.

I could see VO being traded , while on the clock at the draft. Somewhere in the 30's / early 40's as a return.

KA waiting for a player his guys really like.

Maybe eat some salary for better positioning?

We're all part of a group or team here. I've resolved other issues with a pm or even a pm/ apology.
That's what adults do....

A "pm" is kinda man to man via the internet.
He's welcome to respond. Be a bigger man if that's possible.

I'm certainly not gonna sit back anymore and get attacked. This place is supposed to be fun. I'm certainly not gonna be run out of here either. I'm just gonna post more 😀

I think we've always been cordial, I appreciate your help with the pm in regards to the Florida game.

If you dont like what I have to say, skip my poop.

It’s all good, I only responded because the way your message was written made me laugh. I really wasn’t looking for an answer or an explanation of any kind.

“Don’t reply to me!” , closely followed by
“I sent you a message”

Idk, that made me laugh
