If you moved Asplund to Eakin's spot right this second, next years team would be infinitely better even is Asplund had a 40% faceoff.

So you would get rid of Asplund but you are in here complaining about losing Eakin because of his faceoff skills? holy *****.

they are giving away Rj shirts to the 1st 10k fans

This is a battle of some of the ugliest jerseys in the league

I was one beer away from buying a discount Reinhart jersey at the Sabres store.

My baby boy is all grown up

Dustin Wolf, 6'

6'1" Jimmy Howard

6'1" Henrik Lundqvist 5'11" Jusse Saros 6'1" Jonathan Quick

McCabe had a physical side I've never seen in Jokiharju. Samuelsson looks like bigger McCabe

He's railing against his perceived misuse of tech.

That's where I'm at. If we didn't have the 1st, other than mild amusement at Eichel, this game wouldn't matter to me.

Because he isn't a very good 4/5. Maybe he'll grow into a good 3rd pairing guy but ik he's not a 1st pairing guy. His 2nd pairing time hasn't been good, it's been largely meh. Not sure what Adams has to do with it.

I would agree except we saw the same thing with Dahlin. Joker doesn't elevate who he plays with, he is just there and kinda ok. We should get Power a better partner to help cover his mistakes and who he can learn some stuff from. It makes the team stronger as a unit when Power has someone else and Joker in on his own line with Bryson or Johnson or whoever makes it out of camp with him. Also it is inevitable that ppl get injured, if joker gets injured do we really want Fitzgerald with Power? I don't. And he is not a "good" B defender on the second pair. He's a 5/6 defender who can play on up at 3/4 due to injury but you don't want him permanently there.

Only thing is that with Lehner officially out with the shoulder surgery, their backup is pretty decent.

I really don't understand why we wouldn't upgrade Power's partner. It would be easy to do and we have the money to do it. To the bold, yea, because that is the only RHD we have to play with Power.

come on draft pick

im confused why we would move any of the young players, doesnt make sense

Power w/ Joker = 97:04toi, 48.28cf%, 48.96xgf% Power w/ Bryson = 7:01toi, 61.54cf%, 86.54 xgf% Power w/ Fitzgerald = 3:46toi, 60cf%, 71.24 xgf% Power w/ Dahlin = 11:25toi, 62.96cf%, 46.22xgf% Power w/ Samuelsson = 13:13toi, 26.67cf%, 5.43xgf% That is at all strengths so the Samuelsson numbers are a reflection of the time they spend on the PK probably (just over 4 of those minutes together or almost 1/3 of the toi.)

Happy birthday
