  1. Ok boys!!!! Now we're gettin somewhere!!!! Tuch yeah, Skin it!!!!
  2. Joki is quietly becoming a much more aggressive d man. Wackin and hackin guys when needed.
  3. Yeah that was a magnificent fake by Tage Fresh. Wants to play more.
  4. Yes 😁 I wanted to like the guy but I don't
  5. I do wonder to what level the analytics team is working on the goaltending issue? They would have any and all information they need to make some informed acquisitions. Most of the top SHL and KHL guys are in their mid 20s and have either played there the whole time or returned after college or failed N. American careers. Jonas Enroth led the league in save % and Linus Omark was 3rd in points so.... Dryden McKay won the Hobey Baker with 37 wins and was the runner up for the national title but I have a feeling he might flame out of the NHL. Would Minnesota trade Wallstedt for one of the Sabres prospects or some combo of players and picks?
  6. They seem headed for that imo. Maybe they'll trade Helle for the rights to Portillo a late 1st and 3rd? Do they have another guy? Sigh, a man can dream
  7. I see plenty of reasonable options there. Goaltenders can get their ***** together sometimes and have careers turn around. Most of these guys have had a modicum of success atleast and could yet go on a good run. The new analytics crew is hopefully hard at work determining who, if any, deserve another shot at being the man for a couple/few years. They need to be thinking outside the box too. Bring in multiple guys to fill out the echl and ahl teams as well. *****, sign Subban if you have to, for Rochester.
  8. I'd like to see the Bills turn all their picks into two picks in the top 40 and keep a 4th for Araiza. @Aud is right, there's not many jobs to go around and good players will be left off the roster.
  9. F Ottawa. Maybe they want to get rid of Gustavsson? I think he can be resurrected. He's had a tough year and Forsberg got the extension. Coach him up in Rochester
  10. My bad. School is important to him and his family and he's enrolled at the business school at Michigan. Either way, Power says in this video that that played a big role in his decision. https://www.nhl.com/sabres/video
  11. I respect your point of view and you always make your points abundantly clear but.... He chose to leave. He is not coming back to lead this young Sabres team for the next few years so whether he had the numbers or could of if he was here is irrelevant. What goalie do you like now? Who out there strikes your fancy? I'll throw my hat back into the Strauss Mann ring again. A bit undersized but respectable numbers in college at Michigan and the SHL this season. In 22 games he has a 2.19 gaa and .914 save %. Good for a 13-9 record. He also played 2 games for USA in the Olympics posting a 1.85gaa .945sa% Sign him! Rochester awaits.
  12. I think Asplund is good and can be better. I expect him to be a 4th line, penalty kill, defensive shutdown guy on a playoff team. Whether that's at C or W I donno yet. JJ flippin pucks into VOs wheelhouse a few times a game? Yes please!
  13. Is he old enough? I like this idea
  14. Power mentioned in one of his many interviews that Portillo made his decision a while ago because he wants his business degree. I'll back off him I guess. Maybe he signs next year after all. Maybe not.
  15. Eichel isn't better than Matthews either. Or maybe even Marner like someone said here a while back.
  16. Too late man. He'll never win a chip as the guy imo
