Wow. Great passing

Garbage penalty and a garbage goal.

Wait a second, I always loved Dahlin and thought Krueger the Failed was the cause

Just win.

Cody Ekin called, he wants his chart back.

for the game? OVER for the Sabres... ummm no idea

I don't mind Dan. He's fine and occasionally good. He needs to improve his ability to say who has the puck and who scores. It's a major flaw.

I can't see it. Tage and Dahlin still play for Buffalo so those are your likely picks. I don't see a 3rd Sabre going.

You have to pay Cozens next year. You'd have to pay Horvat next year and he's a ufa meaning cha-ching. We have 31 million in space. Let's say we get lucky and do 6 for Cozens and 9 for Horvat. Half your cap is gone and you need 3 more forwards and another 2 defense plus a goalie. You can do that 15 million fairly efficiently... but What cap space? I just got rid of most of it and I still have to pay Dahlin, Power, Joker, the year after. Then I have to pay Quinn and JJP. I'm not saying you can't, just that it will get really tight cap wise in a hurry.

Hate it when that happens. I think him cracking 100 would be amazing. I agree maintaining this torrid pace is unlikely.

Now that would interest me. Depends on price of course but he's signed for 3 more years after this one which means you get him and Comrie as your tandem. You can probably get Vancouver to retain a mil. Cost my not be prohibitive and last year Demko was great. Interesting option maybe.

Let's look at Adams goalie adds. Trade Reinhart for Levi Added Subban Added Comrie Added Anderson Drafted the 2nd rounder last year who's name I refuse to learn for now Tried to add Gibson and Murray and was denied because of NTC That's since what? Summer 2020 if we include Levi and most of that really came in 2021 to now. Not saying it worked but again, stop saying he hasn't done anything or tried or is sitting on his hands. He has tried and he hasn't succeeded.

To be honest I think it was his highest priority this past offseason. He had 2 trades fall through via NTC in Murray and Gibson. Trying for 3 different guys in one offseason and getting 1 shows me it was a major priority. Adams didn't just give up when one failed he moved on to the next and then the next.

I cannot tell you how much I don't care about his ability to win 5.5 draws out of 10 compared to some other dudes 4.8 draws out of 10. It is just not relevant to how I evaluate him at all.

Has he not tried though? And has he been able to add a goalie of substance in October, Nov, or Dec? Nope because teams don't trade then. If ppl want to say Adams move to fix goalie havent worked, fine that is true. But for the love of hockey stop with the slowness to act hasn't done anything, has had years to fix it and hasn't done it stuff. He's tried and failed but stop acting like he has ignored the position like some moron who doesn't get it.

FTR I would move Olofsson before I move Mitts if there were options. I think Mitts could be an okayish winger on the 3rd or 4th line.

I don't because I don't think he will ever have the game processing ability to do that. He reminds me of risto where there are flashes of the raw underlying skill but the processing ability to put that all together does not exist. He is the opposite of Quinn who manipulates space and finds open space to be a good option for his teammates. That said your central premise seems to be something along the lines of Tage did it so maybe Mitts can too and my answer is no. Tage like Josh Allen is an exception. A strange Unicorn who bucked trends and found ways to improve and become very good. Mitts is going to be the rule, he is going to be the former 1st round pick who couldn't adapt his skills to the NHL and will be a bottom 6 guy that bounces around a bit before either finding a home or washing out. I wanted Mitts to work but I don't see him mentally understanding the game at a level needed to make his skillset truly shine and I am not prepared to insulate him with better players so he can be useful here. Trade him for defense help and then let Östlund, Savoie, Kulich or someone else slide into that role over the next couple years. We can find a 3c in UFA to plug that gap until then.

If only Adams had tried to get the Leafs goalie we... whats that? .... he tried to trade for the leafs goalie?... what happened?... the guy nixed the trade... welll crap.

I think on the broadcast they said that Cozens is the only player of any age to have 3 consecutive 3pt games this season or in Sabres history or something like that. Sorry I don't remember it exactly.
