The effort is there, the chances are there. Unfortunately Jokiharu plays for the Sabres and not the Devils. KA has to know he needs to acquire at least 1, maybe 2 dman in the offseason. Dahlin/Power/Sammy are more than fine (when Sammy is healthy). Any of Bryson, Joker, Boosh, Clague and Stillman playing 3/4 minutes is a disaster.

Have you not noticed Joker this game?

Joker gets his shot blocked then let's hughes get behind him for a breakaway - what a choke job by Joker - is this a fkn broken record?

I hate Bryson but that goal was on Boosh not Bryson.

At least he's not Joker - he should be benched

nothing to do for Levi, screened and deflected by his own players

Not sure if Tage or Joker deflected it? Two own goals by directly brought to you by Joker

what a game for Joker - gives the puck away in the NJD zone leading to a fast break then screens Levi - what a fkn as*clown

Yep - not sure how many games NJD have left but he's close to 100 points

Whch hughes - Jack? Then definitely. as for Luke he played 3:12 of the 1st and I didn't notice him once

More goals have been scored on Levi by his teammates than his opponents. Total lack of positional awareness. I don't mind Joker as a 5/6 dman, as a 3/4 it doesn't work. He brings nothing offensively and is replacement level defensively at best.

As long as the sabre games are regulation wins not OT wins.

That offer may not be on the table with the Sabres. KA might not think he's worth it....who knows?

The Sabres may want him to sign a Rochester tryout contract so he can play in the AHL playoffs (I'm not sure trhis is even possible at this point??) while Johnson may want to sign an NHL contract so he burns a year of his entry contract.

Harington saying the Sabres might not be that high on him and rather have the 2024 2nd rounder than signing him??

I see a 3/4 D as much more important than bringing in another G. Dahlin Sammy Power Legit 3/4 UFA or trade Boosh/Joker/61 Looks much improvement to me

And he should be better next year when 100% healthy. If you look at his stats before this year and this year's = 2 different players. If okposo retires, he'll be a fine replacement

We have 5 games left but NYI, PIT and FLA only have 3 games left each. 5-0 gets us to 93 points (heavy ask but just for fun) 2-1 gets PIT to 92 points 1-1-1 gets NYI and FL to 92 points So we need to win all 5 while we need PIT to lose 1 in regulation and we need either NYI or FL to not win 2 out of 3

Bad puck luck but sometimes you make your own puck luck. We were plain putrid in our zone, the play by boosh was one of the worst decisions I've ever seen (especially up2 mid way through the 3rd). btw, power is out best overall dman and no offense to Dahlin, but he's not all that close right now.

I don't think so. The quebec league (or whatever he plays in) has an agreement with the AHL where he can't go play there as a 19 year old. The have no such agreement with Europe.

And two of the guys pulling up the Sabres age won't be hear next year: Anderson (41) and Okposos, however old he is. They're being replaced by a 21 year old goalie, and two 19 year old forwards (Kulich and Savoie)

Correct - he signed an NHL contract so is ineligible for rh AHL playoffs. He could play in the NHL playoffs, but, that chance is likely gone.

Agreed, only 2 options for Savoie: 1. Sabres 2. Loan him to Europe I think neither him nor Levi will ever see Rochester (Savoie obviously can;t next yera anyway)

Don't overthink things - it's Levi and it's been Levi since last Friday.

Thinking Tage will be back Tuesday too .... yep: 6 behind NYI with 3 in hand and hold tiebreaker 4 Behind FLA with 2 in hand and we hold tiebreaker and play them next 3 behind PIT but with only 1 in hand + they have a much easier closing schedule, so they may be tough to catch
