Maybe Jokiharju gets moved as a pending UFA. Otherwise, GMKA will still think his guys (including UFA’s Greenway and Zucker) are worth more than other teams are willing to pay.

He’s one our our bigger fish in a small pond with his goals yes. But if he was having a really good season, then he’d still be with TNT and maybe Tuch on the 1st line. As somebody else noted, he may benefit from better linemates, but for some reason Ruff doesn’t do that. That tells me there are things about JJP’s game that Ruff doesn’t like. You clearly like him. I don’t hate him, but IMHO he may need to be part of a shakeup that makes our top 6 better next season…not 2 or 3 years from now.

If it means we get a bonafide top 6 forward who can help us immediately (presumably next season) who brings something we don’t have, then yes. We’re not going to get much for Cozens, Quinn, etc, so you may have to give up quality to get quality. I’m not saying he’s our worst top 6 player….that might be Cozens or Quinn, but I am saying we cannot come back next season with the same top 6 and expect to be much better.

Simple…our top 6 is too young and inexperienced. He’s part of that and might be one of our more tradable assets. If he was the only one, then I would be more apt to keep him, but I’d swap him out for a more experienced and physical top 6 player. Cozen’s contract works against a good trade and Quinn is severely underperforming. JJP’s play has been Meh to me and he disappears for long stretches of time.

He hasn’t performed to my expectations, just like Cozens, Quinn and a host of others. He’s still a boy and this team needs more men to be competitive next season.

Unlikely for sure….they should sell, not buy (at the deadline)

Power out to lunch on that goal

There’s been absolutely nothing that looked good on that PP….except maybe that we didn’t give up a shortie.

JJP’s act has been wearing thin with me. I’m starting to think he’s not a keeper if something decent can be had in return.

Nice save there by Reimer on that one-timer

I miss RJ so much!

The way this period is going….maybe a shortie by Hartford tonight?

MSG doesn’t want to show SOG’s…..it’s something like 15-2 right now. Correction 18-2

Welp, that’s should be it…Sabres won’t score 4 tonight Rayzor can go to the concession stand and get himself some grub for the rest of the night.

Can’t remember…is the Raleigh rink so old that there’s no room for the backup goalie on the bench or did UPL go to the locker room because he’s hurt?

No puck luck tonight….2-0.

Dahlin being physical on that PK….I like it!

Takes me back to the ol’ Ron Francis days

I thought it was the chicken and waffle that finished him?!?!

Henri “Bossy” Jokiharju there….I can’’t remember a Sabre defenseman with that precise of a snipe

UPL is simply not sharp tonight….I know it was another PP goal, but he could/should have stopped both of those.

IMHO - Half the goalies in the NHL make that save….it wasn’t that exceptional of a pass and shot.

UPL looked a little sleepy slow moving to his left….too slow to stop the one-timer

Sure, it would be nice to have one or both back, but IMHO it’s not going to happen. So a responsible GM would be business like and get something (instead of nothing) for them. I disagree with you that the return would be minuscule….it may not be players, but you still take the future picks vs. getting nothing at all for them.

So you want him to let Zucker, Greenway and Joki to walk away with nothing in return? I don’t think any of them will be back despite any recent comments from any of them.
