I think Tage/Casey both have chances to be NHL regulars, but I don't want to bank on it.

We need playoffs next year or #9 is a goner

- sbroads24

that's why I like value guys like fast and soderberg for additions

you can move soderberg down a line or to the wing if casey and cozens are ready, drop fast a line if tage is ready


I expect the worst though at this point

He made $4.25M last season, averaged 38 points over the last six seasons and will be 31 yrs. old in September.

Although I agree that I low-balled him, if he gets more than $4.25m per I'd be surprised. And I don't know who is doing those numbers, but I've noticed that they consistently go longer term with a bigger dollar figure. Usually if one goes up, the other goes down

Evolving Hockey does it and they have generally been either right on or close, but the flat cap may change that.

Putting all your eggs in one basket, though?

What if he isn't ready? Mojo at 2C again? Might as well get out the golf clubs.

Yep let's have another casey season round 3 ?

Not calling him casey just going in with no real center again

Cozens should be on the 3rd line

Your missing the point we can't trust another rookie for the 2md line center it blew up in our face 2 times ..

Cozens should play 3rd and hopefully we trade for a 2nd line center

Cozens will be 20 by the time the Sabres dress again.

#1 ranked non nhl player?

2c behind jack playing big minutes.

No question cozens should get a shot at 2c

Casey and Giraffe tage should both be in the best shape there's no excuse

Especially casey he should be super fit right now with all the time off ..

But my worries is he gained weight because of the quarantine and he's just chilling

I have no problem with him starting on the 3rd line, but I really don't worry about him starting on the 2nd either, everything I have seen and watched on Cozens just says he's got it, could be wrong, but seems to have that drive you want in players were he just won't let himself fail. Never have I seen that in Mitts, atleast not yet. Upgrades to the wings could be just as beneficial. If a Soderberg or Haula are brought in as backup that is fine because they can help with the PK to.

I doubt they let jack leave.

If we play meaningful games to the last weekend, why would he leave. Turning it around hopefully before he requests a trade

ten times better then what we have had for the last 9 years


trades for Goligoski's rights and locks him up to help his D

moves scrubs for picks or prospects while he can still get 70 cents on the dollar

drafted keller and chychrun right away

locks those two up with Schmaltz and Dvorak

when he screws up and trades for galy, flips him for kessel

not afraid to get a hall when the chance comes to get him

has a decent prospect pool after promoting a bunch of guys

moves his rentals and gets something for them

in touch with modern game

etc

One of the more realistic lineups I've seen proposed on this Godforsaken site - well done ! Except I'd take out Fast (I'm convinced we'll never make another good trade or signing ever again). Who else from our system could we plug in there for Fast ?
