If I were to think on it seriously, the op was tongue and cheek, I would say as few as 3 maybe 4 teams will regret it. Chicago with Bedard is happy. Columbus with Fantilli is happy. Anaheim with Carlsson is happy. But after that, right now with expectations and recency bias, I think a bunch of teams might look back and be like "$#!+"

Out of the 3 players listed, I think Benson has the best 200ft game. As I've said elsewhere, I'm good with him going to the whl again. Truthfully I'm good either way.

Benson fell to 13th overall

Seriously, what do they want for Jiricek?

That's pretty close to Columbus starting defense. That's about half their starting forwards. They are playing against buffalo's top line and 1 nhl defender. I think everyone needs to back away from the panic button.

Why? It's preseason

They must be winning the game then...

Werenski - Jiricek would terrify me. That's a ton of talent an mean on one pair. Maybe we can convince cbj to leave Jiricek when they go home?

I'd have to think that if Ryan Reynolds and his group were interested in Ottawa, than if Buffalo went up for sale they would be interested. There's value in established brands and in the next decade, city you play in will matter less than brand. Just my opinion.

You were pretty close. Just a couple wingers flipped

What's I'd like to add though if I have a choice between Bryson and Metsa, both 5'9", I'm more inclined to keep Metsa who weighs 20lbs more and actually can defend.

They could but it's almost inconsequential if Biro leaves. That said, Arizona isn't adding him. What I'm saying is we're overvaluing tweener players.

The year after (2025) Benson 100% is ahl eligible. The question is potentially 2024 since Benson played the entirety of a shortened whl season and would have 4 seasons. But yes, next year I don't have any doubts Benson is a Sabre

I think most of our guys clear waivers. Most teams don't add bottom line guys because they have their own. Bryson and Biro would probably slide right on through.

Levi is thiccc, 6' 192

Yup, trying to see who rises to the top and who sinks. Personally that order is Johnson, Stillman, Metsa (ik), clague, 300 level stale beer, LA nova arena pizza, Bryson

No. Players who are not 20 on or by Dec 31st and from the CHL are not eligible to be sent to AHL while their CHL season is ongoing. The only exception is if you have 4 accrued CHL seasons, then you can. Benson does not qualify. I don't think they are, they are just figuring out the depth chart with them.

I'd hope not.

I'm not sure Savoie's contract can slide another year after this one.

If this doesn't look like the game to finish the D depth chart, idk what is.

The Sens are waiving Lassi Thomson, Buffalo should at least internally look at him because he's a rhd and anyone is better than Bryson. I'm sorry Bryson, you're too small and lack other high end traits to make up for it.

Cbj have a ton of talent. I think they are a year or two behind Buffalo but Jiricek and Fantilli are going to be tough to deal with in the near future. Curious to see lineups and how UPL does, at some point he's either sink or swim.

It hasn't aged well because I'm 1 player off? I mean, I guess but Savoie got injured. I said at the draft Benson is the best prospect in the system, him proving it isn't necessarily a surprise. What will be a surprise and why I'll be wrong is that Buffalo might take the "develop in the NHL" path with him. I do fully agree though that Benson is making the roster by 2024.

Idk if we are talking songs or scores but this is one of the most perfectly scored movies ever made... If we are talking songs, this: NSFW

Considering Adams and the team spent 3 years literally refusing to say their goal was to make the playoffs it does mean something that they are now openly and aggressively referring to them IMO.
