Pleasa let it be Misa!!

UPL looked shaky tonight.

Maybe they see him as Ekblad’s replacement who is a UFA this summer. IDK Also, Ekblad would be perfect beside Power😁

I think they have something with Östlund. He was always a long term project pick because of his size-weight but he is really rounding into form. He looks noticeably bigger which is probably helping with the jump in play. He plays in the Aho mould. A very good player all over the ice that you want out in all situations. A nice playoff run followed by one more year in Rochester and I think you have a very good young 2nd line centre on your hands.

Love to see Östlund keep rolling and Helenuis picking it back up. The kids are helping to drive the bus for the Amerks

Cozens for Rossi🤪 Guerin wants the size down the middle, Adams wants someone who is a good centre. Reunites him with junior teammate Quinn. Ruff pairs Rossi with Benson so people on this board’s heads explode😁🤣

Amerks win again, 5-2 Ostlind and Rosen keep rolling, 1g 1a each. Helenuis with another poin Rochester Joker (Ryan Johnson) scores for the 2ns straight game😁 Another win for Levi.

Vancouver are in an interesting place because his no trade kicks in this summer and then they are in real trouble trying to move him if this play continues. If he has another bad year then moving $11.6 when he can axe any deal will make it impossible to move him. Do they try to move him now and just take whatever return they can to move on from him or keep him and pray he returns to form after the no trade kicks in.

It’s almost like missing the playoffs for 14 straight years under one ownership forms a strong opinion from professional people in the league.😁

Not only did Cozens look like his old self but I thought Quinn looked like the best version of himself.

So 8 years $80 million for Joker?😝 Nice win, nice run they are on right now. Greenway makes a big difference for them. That was the best Cozens has skated and engaged in a while.

I agree and he is the much better option down the middle than Cozens. Go with Tage, Kulich, McLeod, Krebs as a centre spine and see how it goes.

I don’t think it will hold him back too much. You don’t put up a combined +43 in your age 20 and 21 years in the AHL if you are struggling with foot speed. It will be an initial adjustment but I think he makes it and plays quite well when he gets to the NHL.

Wow those are some eye popping numbers. The biggest problem is that he can’t play centre. He can’t drive the bus with the puck on his stick. Move him to wing immediately and see if it helps. If Tage is healthy I would put him back in the middle and move Cozens to the wing.

Point to me one great NHL coach that didn’t have good goaltending.

Gretzky never had the tools Lemieux did: size, reach, shot but he had the drive to be the best Mario didn’t. Lemieux coasted on his talent. He said it was Canada Cup 87 playing with Gretzky that really turned his career around to be dominant. If Mario didn’t have the chronic back issues and cancer I think he would have broken some of Gretzky’s records.

With the way Mitts has played I think I would take McLeod.

The problem is the Ducks have played Zegras as a LW and he is on his second down year. If the Sabres want to trade for him and move him to centre then they can but I wouldn’t be giving up top assets to try that experiment. If Marner hits UFA you can always throw a truckload of money at him. But how much is he worth? $13-14 million is too rich for my blood. Tkachuk is a pipe dream to me. I do like the player but IF Ottawa were to move him it wouldn’t be to a division rival.

The difference between early to mid 80s Gretzky and the rest of the league was one of the biggest in all sports. One year he would have won the scoring title on assists alone.

First of all I don’t want Pettersson. So in your opinion one guy changes getting knocked around or not. I guess I’ve missed the Sens being the toughest team in hockey for the past 5 years and all the success Brady has led them to. I wasn’t meaning to dump on you. I’m just tired of this idea on the board that Brady Tkachuk is the answer to all the problems of this franchise.

The “idea” of what Brady Tkachuk is to this board far exceeds what he actually is. If the Sabres ever got him this board would soon turn to “he doesn’t play big enough of the time” “he only picks his spots to act tough which is few and far between” He’s a very good player but he is reaching Superman levels to some.
