I would take him for Bogosian or Moulson! :P

The transition defense is terrible. They're putting so much into joining the rush that the lack of settling down the opposition is frustrating. I was at the game and I wore my Mogilny jersey. I got such crap :P Anywho. The word "gliding or coasting" once up 4 was frustrating. This team needs a more "cut the jugular" mindset.

Tennyson and Griffith in the line up still. FFS, let Baptiste use his speed on the third line.

Exactly, because Myers, and Armia have done nothing. While there is still time for Lemieux to possibly pan out. The O'Reilly trade is still a slam dunk.

The real question that I have here with Tkachuk is if he skates better than his older brother. Or is it the same power stride sluggish skating, which is average at best.

I have decent seats, well priced. Raanta is back, anything is possible. LMAO. With all seriousness, can we stop playing scrubs in premier scoring chances. See any prime scoring chance with: Moulson, Griffith or Tennyson.

Moulson and an asset to Vegas for Garrison. It sheds the term and you can move on with just one year of salary. The ideal trade with Vegas would be to move Bogosian when healthy to them for Garrison. It removes the extra term, and while you lose an asset you trim the fat.

+1 - This is definitely a need to happen. Stop fixing things on the fly. Which isn't something Botterill seems likely to do. I believe he's probably talking to anyone/everyone with the attempt to upgrade the roster / make changes need sooner than later. He has prefaced the need for renewed patience, which is annoying, but the team speed is still far away from what it needs to be.

Bogosian and Borgen to Vegas for Garrison. (Cap related). I'm just tired of seeing him on the IR and this team needs to just move on. If we could buy a one year meh contract in Garrison to move out from Bogosian at the cost of William Borgen, or someone like Fasching/Baptiste. I'm ready to dump and run.

I have faith in the moves that were made in the sense that Pominville has been undeniably rejuvenated by playing on Jack's right side. In terms of Scandella, who is coming off of major hip surgery; I would give him his due time to come into form. The defense is definitely an issue. The bottom six is a mess, and Lehner/Johnson have been terrible so far. One saving grace is that Botterill did not go out and spend up superfluous amounts on mid tier talent. They tried to create depth with low cost one year deals. Most of these can ultimately be traded off or waived. So the bad (contracts): Moulson, Bogosian; we are likely stuck with unless a miracle happens. Okposo has some form of NMC/NTC, and at his salary should start picking it up. He could be desirable to another team. All in all it's a transition (again) that no one wants to see. I personally am tired of losing to teams like (Vancouver, Las Vegas) and others in that similar boat.

With what going back. I don't really see them having much to offer, unless it's a package of Chytil, Vesey, and Day?

A Housley "Hot Seat" thread. HAH. It has more to do with players needing to get their heads out of their . Okposo, O'Reilly, time to ship up boys.

Start Johnson, bring up Ullmark, find a taker for Lehner.

Start Johnson. It was a pleasant surprise to see Bailey on the scoring sheet last game. Press the temp and O'Reilly wake up!

I can take it over if you want is this fantasy hockey?

He definitely isn't, it's disappointing with this start, but there are several reasons not just Jack Eichel that we're struggling.

Can we put Lehner on waivers claim Pickard and move on with our lives? FFS! That wrap around shorty was ridiculous and once again he cannot stop a shoot out goal. Like his personality, but he's so frustrating.

It was Pommer, which is fitting on so many levels!

I think he said it best. I've proven nothing. If you look at it, I've put up two mediocre seasons on a losing hockey club. I want to stay in Buffalo and help them win. He's Buffalo hockey. He has the Boston street mentality that he'll put in the work to bring it back.

Which makes sense, he found a number that he could agree too and moved on. No more need for drama and questions during the season. He's growing up.

He's a fine enough player, I just think he's a terrible fit on RW. That's just my two sense on it is all. Maybe I'm wrong.

Antipin nice push at the end of the period, he could easily be our second best season if he picks up systems and is comfortable with English this season.

Yes, that's always been evident with NJ, he just could never stay healthy. Classic needed a new team fit.

Also, I HATE Larsson on the wing. I just think he looks lost. I'd much rather not see him there. As for DLo, it's time for him to be an ex Sabre.

Oh well goals, yes, I think he has the best shot from the point outside of Ristolainen. Sorry, I thought you meant total points. Kane is what he is a goal scorer. If you're asking him to be a facilitator/creator of offense....whelp....you're in trouble.
