Jack went full Putin. He’s not coming back from that comment. His next trip back will be full Ben Simmons in philly tonight.😁

Suck It Jack!😜 Great for Anderson Good for Tuch and Krebs. Jack played hard but that classic Eichel body language reared it’s ugly head again.

Rochester are teetering on not being in a playoff spot. If the Amerks miss the playoffs then that is a disaster for this franchise and the "development plan". This offseason has to be committed to pushing this entire organization forward to being competitive for both the players and fans sakes.

Interesting name. What are his defensive metrics like? I feel Power will need a partner who is strong in his own end. Klingberg will demand a ton in FA so I only see it as worthwhile if he is good defensively.

Friedman says that Adams is actively working the phones looking for the proper d partner to mentor Power when he arrives. Realistically who do you think that should be? A free agent like Manson or a home Run free agent like Letang, a very good dman from a team in cap trouble, maybe Minny has to move Dumba, a cap dump like Myers. Maybe a guy like Larsson from Seattle that would partner with Dahlin and move Joker with Power. Power will be a top 4 right away so you need a dman that can play top 4. I have no idea who they will target but it will be interesting to see. They have the cap and assets to really be in play for anyone.

First of all pick a position for Krebs and leave him there. That position needs to be centre. Give him the same line mates to create chemistry with. When everyone is back and healthy then the option is there to send him to Rochester for a playoff run.

A guy on another board proposed trading all 3 1sts for Patrick Kane and has gone all in on defending the move against all the negative feedback.🤪😂

There was one shift where Eakin gave the puck away twice then got it and missed a 3 foot pass to Hinostroza for a 3rd give away. I wonder if Eakin is playing because teams are looking at him for the playoffs.

Kings play that awful 90s NJ Devils hockey. Trap the crap out of you. What a low event game.

I would think they retain on Miller and then have 2 spaces to use for 3rd party deals. Guess it all depends on which team is interested in which player and what return they will offer.

62 points in 54 games and captain of his team. Not a bad 7th round pick.

I think there is a limit on the amount of players you can retain salary on, 2 or 3.

Mule is a big piece to that back end. Big, physical, plays a good defensive game and can jump up ice when needed. A good blue line is one that is varied. Dahlin and Power will be the offensive forces back there. Mule a physical, defensive presence. Hopefully Johnson is an all around dman. I would like to see another physical RHD to add to the group. A big problem with the Leafs d core is that they are all the same. Soft, skating puck movers that don’t play d.

Interesting. Will take a guy with a couple years left if the return is good enough. Looks like they are going to add some extra picks or prospects that they have identified.

How many players can a team retain salary on in deals in a season, 2 or 3?

Boeser’s qualifying offer is $7.5 which is why Vancouver wants to deal him. Garland would be a good target but what are you willing to move for him?

I’m not interested in Boeser. His cap hit will be too high for what he brings. JT Miller though😀 Sabres need a top 4 RHD, someone that can partner with Power long term. A top 6 forward that can add some grit and scoring. And we all know about the net. A goalie like a Francouz that can bring stability while the kids develop. With a couple savvy moves this offseason and with some health luck this team should be in a position to be consistently competitive next season.

Is MacInnis back or is he still out too?

I like the sound of this.

Not Anderson’s best game but one away from 300 wins now. Mitts and VO starting to get back to normal has given them 3 lines that can contribute some offence. I wouldn’t let Mitts family leave Buffalo now.😁 So nice to have a top line again that is dangerous each game.

He plays the right side regularly for Minnesota and is a better dman than either Bryson or Fitz.

Wait til Ryan Johnson plays.

Word spread that the Hawks have a guy playing who is from the Buffalo area. Adams wants the scouts to see if the kid is any good.😛

Offer him 2 year term at like $9-10 million. Sabres need to spend just to get to the floor. Get a guy who is still elite who could mentor our young studs. Overpay on the short term. Sabres have overpaid non elite players on long term deals. That is where the issue arises.
