Ducky Posted July 13, 2019 Report Posted July 13, 2019 The Sabres should send one of their not too bad D men somewhere along with Okposo for a 4th or 5th or something. 2 Quote

I'm fine with Zemgus-Larsson-KO as the 4th line, but I was kinda hoping for some new blood. We know what those 3 guys' ceilings are, and they ain't high. I don't think you can make this assumption. new coach, new ideas, new combos. Anyone could be anywhere. Quote

But Rasmus-3 will get his callup this season. I want to give him half a season in Rochester to ensure he's putting it all together. Make it impossible to keep him down. Two thoughts on it: Larsson and Girgs are now easy, cheap grinders to move at the deadline for picks (if they're having healthy seasons and we're out of the playoffs) -- and that'll get Asplund up. If some hybrid 2nd line of Mitts/Reino/Johansson is effective at center (or we still acquire that magic 2C) then there's no need to rush Asplund, even if he's ready. Detroit Red Wing style... he'll appear and the team will get even better at the midway point. 2 Quote

The Sabres aren't giving up a 1st to get out of Okposo's contract. (Which is the absolute minimum they would require to take him off Botterill's hands.). Especially when they're going to walk away from it after the lockout via a compliance buyout. 1 Quote

Will he waive his MNTC of 15 teams he doesn’t want to go to is also a question. He might screw us and say no to Seattle and we’ll have to protect him. Quote

Torpedo Forecheck Posted July 14, 2019 Report Posted July 14, 2019 I can't believe some love this move- he sucks. Watch the fourth lines of the playoff teams. When Erod is a fourth line center the Sabres will have something. Quote

Sundquist had 31 points with OZ Starts of 35% Kuraly had 21 points with OZ Starts of 32% Zemgus had 18 points with OZ starts of 15.6% Larsson had 14 points with OZ starts of 15% The latter two appeared to do a better job of controlling the puck in the defensive zone, it’s almost like they could play on a playoff team. 1 Quote
