Haven’t looked, I’m watching Peterka and Germany vs USA.

Muel can be our Mark Stone.

It really bounces around after Celebrini, I am curious to see how it all plays out.

UFAs. Gritty 4th line wingers that won’t break the bank: Martinook, Clutterbuck, Carrier, Blais and of course the other Cousins. On RHD there is Tanev, Pesce, Roy, DeMelo, Hakanpaa and MacDermid( mainly for muscle). Zadorov is also a physical presence, although LHD. Vladar could be traded for cheaply as a backup goalie who could be pushed down by Levi. Calgary probably wants Wolf full time, nothing more he can do in the AHL.

I think there is cap space this year for a few UFAs like Stephenson, Joshua and a gritty F and D. When Peterka, Quinn and Byram are due a raise, decisions need to be made who stays or goes.

Those Latvian goons are something else. I stretched the parameters quite a bit. We don’t need Reaves, just some 2-3 gritty guys that can play hockey. Besides, the Leafs would probably take Kisakov for Reaves.

That was a good team. Perreault and Martin still in their prime. Gare, Derek Smith, Van Boxmeer and Schoenfeld entering theirs. Gritty, grizzled vets Luce, Ramsay, Dudley, Korab and Hajt. Young guys Seiling, McKegney having an impact. Playfair and Ruff bringing some western toughness. Edwards and Sauve were young but an excellent tandem. The infusion of Olympians Ramsey and McClanahan. And of course the coaching genius of Scotty Bowman.

I would like to see him outperform Krebs in camp but get sent down for seasoning and to improve his 200’ game. I’m talking about the 4C role here not the 3C that KA wants to hand to Krebs. Another year and then one of Savoie, Kulich, Östlund or Wahlberg forces their way into the lineup. Savoie, Rosen and Kulich could all get looks during the season as the injuries hit.

Going deep into the playoffs, without having any pressure to contribute, provide leadership and deal with the media. On the road without your wife and kids. Could be worse.

Stephenson would be an excellent pick up but I leave Cozens at C and have them compete for 2C. Clutterbuck has some of what they need. Sorry but Jost is 13F on a weak team. Maroon has grit but is slower than Okposo. OEL has none of the Panther grit and is a LHD. Samsonov has the Leafs scent on him. Joshua as a UFA would bump Greenway down to the 4th line. Benson, Cozens and Joshua. He can also play C to help Cozens on draws. Tanev is a veteran RHD that is a UFA. He would provide the toughness in a pairing with Clark Kent.

Agree. He’s become decent but he’s not the bottom six type the Sabres need. He’s definitely the opposite of the Panthers identity. Reinhart is not gritty but he doesn’t back down and has way more skill. Okposo looks slow and struggles to bring any playoff intensity to that lineup.

You’re raising red flags with me on this guy. A top 5 draft pick should be able to score in the MHL. I know he was a year younger but that league is full of 16-20 year olds and he should have put up better numbers. The KHL numbers are understandable as those coaches barely play U20 guys.

2C in Buffalo. I kid.

Add Savoie and Komarov to the Amerks. Doesn’t raise their grit level but they bring skill. Nice move and dish.

Yeah, he didn’t need to crush the guy, just bump him off of the puck. In his defense, it was the other guy’s man, but Power had no one else to cover and could have easily killed the play. He needs to watch some playoff hockey to see how physical play ramps up even more than the 80% regular season.

There was a guy from your Clan team on GB

Power with a weak stick swat when he could have bumped the guy. Britain scores.

Power on the other PP unit with Bedard.

Dubois is overrated. Byram and Cozens on PP.

Hagel, who they didn’t even offer a contract to has done OK.

He wants to trade Kulich, Rosen and Östlund for Ryan Reaves.

Very similar numbers to Eichel at the NCAA level, so, generational. lol

That was a nice little shot, well placed.

If he play too well he becomes untradeable.

Cozens playing with Guenther and Mangiapane.
