Dawson Knox's hands are as consistent as your average cornerback.

I'm still sitting here stunned.

Yea Ford just can't play tackle. Doesn't have the feet.

Meh. That's just the way it's going to be without the ability to circumvent the cap with backdiving contracts and phony years.

Not a great start for the offensive line.

Jack passes enough to feed two wingers.

I'd add a 1st to that, probably more, and not even think twice.

Precisely. I'm not worried about them not playing together in the preseason because we know it works. But if we open the season without them paired up, I'll be pretty cranky.

I have a spreadsheet that could have told you that months ago ?

I've seen enough, barring further trades/injuries: Skinner-Eichel-Olofsson Rodrigues-Johansson-Reinhart Vesey-Cozens-Sheary/Thompson Girgensons-Larsson-Lazar Dahlin-Miller McCabe-Ristolainen Scandella/Nelson-Jokiharju ?Goalies ?

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Wet blanket alert: Paul Gaustad would be an upgrade to our current middle-6 centers. He's better than Mittelstadt.

I don't think there's any way they get 3 years unless there's significant improvement over Botterill's first two seasons.

I won't shoot the messenger, but if that is Botterill's thinking, he probably won't be employed long enough to reap the benefits even if he's right.

Scorching hot take alert: Cozens is going to be a good NHL center before Mittelstadt.

No, not really. Humans are really bad at remembering.

Human memory is terrible.

I eagerly await your ranking of Buffalo suburbs. Unless you mean all of them.

I agree with this take. That said, there is certainly some risk that he sort of flatlines a la Ekblad.

Yes.

Well, if Terrell Owens can get a key to the city just for signing a 1-year deal...

Right. There's no reason to turn down the trade you want just because Montour will miss a couple weeks. It's not like Montour's career just ended.

No, you simply added a Trubisky fathead on empty wall space.

Do you really think Alex Nylander and the picks we moved for Miller would have been gone and irreplaceable if we had gotten a center? I think it's a stretch to assume acquiring a center would have prevented adding Miller and Jokiharju.
