Be careful with hope. We have enough assets to not have to rely on hope. If we are to acquire a top 6 forward then it’s likely some players and prospects will go. Look at the play of Peterka, Benson, Cozens and Quinn. Who is the one you move on from? Look at the promise of prospects Kulich, Rosen, Helenius, Östlund, Wahlberg. - Kulich is breaking out. Helenius is probably untouchable right now. Wahlberg has the size and strength that makes him a compelling player.

What games have both Quinn and Cozens been on? I can’t think of even one game this season. In Tage’s absence Cozens has had some better games, he is starting to contribute more but I am not seeing any revitalization of the pair. If anything they hold Peterka back when he is paired with them. Quinn is -8 with a 3% shooting percentage. His one goal is an empty netter. The only reason he hasn’t been benched is Tage and Greenway are out.

And Philly

Quinn does not deserve 2nd line minutes, especially if we add a top 6 player and are healthy. Before his injury Greenway was outplaying (and out scoring) Cozens, Quinn, Benson, Krebs, and the entire 4th line put together. His defensive play and his PK work was stellar. If we bring in a top 6 forward some of the guys on your list are probably gone. Unless Quinn’s game takes a major step up, I just don’t see Lindy giving Quinn more minutes than Greenway. It appears that Quinn could fall behind Kulich too. Quinn is playing a little better right now, but Benson (who started the season injured) and Kulich have improved their games by even more IMO.

The Brits

Reimer with a .939 sv tonight. Tuch was clutch. Benson was not tired. The PK was excellent. Sabres are over DeLuca 500. Bring on the Wild.

I had a premonition it was going to be 4-2. Dahls EN

Play a real power play.

Benson draws one.

PK doing its job.

Groan, groan

Groan

Benson is going to be very, very hard to play against as he continues to develop.

Tuchie with a shorty.

Groan.

Nice Cozens. If ever a guy needed one.

Reimer is giving us a chance. We have a decent chance to get some points tonight.

They are competing in the wildcard band of teams right now. They have flaws but they are also progressing in some aspects. They are playing a back to back, 3 in 4 night string. Thompson and Greenway out. They can gets points here tonight

I think Thornton looks spiffy.

Ok boys, let get a PPG.

Reimer is insane.

Gilbert is fresh but didnt get a game.

He is doing fine. The Sabres need to give him better support.

He made 10 saves before that. Some were tough ones. He needs help around the net with rebounds though.
