Keep neither. They're both weak in the defensive zone, especially for defenders. They'd make a great trade package with UPL and one of either Östlund or Rosen.

For myself, I have not come to a conclusion on Quinn. No hate, but no Benson-esque adoration. I saw him finish a check nicely tonight. He plays well with the skilled kids. Unlike Tommy Dangles, he shoots when he should shoot, passes when he should pass. He's not an overrated disaster like Power. I'm still willing to give him a chance to put it all together.

I didn't really see a play tonight where knowing the book on a goalie would have helped. I was working out with the game on during the second, so may have missed something. Still, from what I saw, the way they were playing D tonight made it difficult for the Oilers to execute a plan on the goalie.

This save...

GMKA in the old days would have a 5x$5.5m contract ready for Ellis after this game.

Any questions on Ellis after this 6v5 so far?

In this game he looks just good. Clearly more comfortable and thus more smooth.

This team needs to gel. They might have 90% of the pieces. Get rid of Power and UPL for a good, defensively responsible top 6 forward, or for a mean mother with some skill who can play mid 6, and stay more healthy than they have, and this could be a good team.

I thought something fell here in my house.

Timmins couldn't play better without his stick there.

Ellis =

At the very least this period has given the Sabres time to develop some depth.

Dang, Östlund.

Power sucks.

Ellis is the hot hand. Seems right Lindy would start him.

Aren't there people he can hire to step in and play the same role, keeping him on the straight and narrow?

Forgive me for my error. I have sinned.

I thought that shot hit him on the side of his knee.

Anyone notice this lady after the Sabres win?

Finally earning his contract. Can't believe he came back onto the ice after the puck hit him.

Yay, we don't suck for a night.

WTH was that move? Put Krebs in net.

Yay. That's all Tommy Dangles has, though.

The Sabres can not pass worth a 💩.
