I know that. Terry better scrap the EEE plan then.

We hope you are right on Power. The talent, vision and skill is there. The size is there. What is missing is physical strength, toughness, and willingness to use his body - all things a "stud anchor" on defense has to posses. Brady is 6'4 and 225 and can score 30+ goals. He is a force right now and getting a power forward that scores goals is just as hard to get as stud defenseman, maybe harder. Brady is also a lunkhead. He has been a minus player every season and he takes a lot of penalties. He is building a reputation as a disturbance, at least in Ottawa. I am not sure he fits into Buffalo but him for Power might be an pretty even trade.

Big dilemma for sure. They cannot lose another NHL level goalie, they are too hard to get and too hard to develop. I would bridge him into his UFA years (3 or 4 years) if there is room. There will be more contracts coming up to pay as well. The Skinner deal is becoming an albatross and Power could have been bridged. We just burned an ELC year on an 18 year old. Mitts is on deck. There will be challenges like all teams face.

He is the father of 6K.

That is the rumor in St Louis and it was there before he signed the big contract. Why is it hard to believe?

Worked just fine???? Don’t confuse a fortunate outcome with great execution. Goaltending cost us the playoffs last year and it was terrible for most of this season, until UPL emerged. How much knowledge does it take to know that Comrie is an injury prone boarderline #2? How many 21 year old NCAA goalies make the jump to the NHL after 7 games? Any normally run team would bring in a vet for insurance and finish your goaltending competition before the season starts. The Sabres had a lackluster off season, a poorly managed training camp and preseason, and they clearly were not ready to take the next step that was promised. UPLs development is a happy and fortunate side effect of Adams stubborn and slow approach.

Send them an ROR type offer. Two vets on their downside, two picks and a prospect - VO (Berglund), Okposo (Sobotka), Savoie or Rosen (Thompson), our #1 (protected), and next years #2, and we can throw in Comrie too. Or an Eichel offer. Tuch, Krebs, a #1 and a #2. Only replace Tuch with Savoie or Rose.

He wants to go home to St Louis.

Yes

Best game of the season. Finally hit 3 in a row.

Wow. Luke pitches a shutout in the shoot out.

I thought Tage had that. Tuch and Mitts totally gassed.

Well deserved point. Now go get two.

Great effort. Keep going.

The have to stay smart. Go get this game.

Power snuck in and Krebs found him

Dahlin’s skates show he was trying to stop. Bunting pushed him into the goalie.

Or. The vet could have got interference

Tage had Skinner open and tried to wrap around. Ugh

Great PK. Guys blocking shots and sacrificing.

Wow. That is a bad call.

Mitts almost.

So claim any player they waive !?

Noted Bryson playing, no Ryan Johnson.

Not sure that was a hand pass but the whistle blew anyway.
