Expand Cozens is the 2C. Trouble is it wont' be until next year at the earliest, but he is the real deal. In the immediate I see no realistic fix. I can't see many teams being overly interested in our marginal available players for anything of value in return. A marginal D man (like Bogo) for a marginal winger maybe, more likely we can only unload a few bodies at or near deadline for a few mid to lower picks and/or prospects. Maybe Boston takes a shot at Vesey for a depth forward as they are always trying for a winger to play with Krejci and have little cap room so they might take a chance with a 3rd rounder or something. Nothing big and nothing that'd help us now. Risto and Reinhart are the only bodies that might generate any sort of immediate interesting return, but even that is unlikely to get us the value that'd help us. It'd just be shuffling and might even make us worse.Unfortunately I do think we are looking for a wait until next year scenario. 2 Quote
Huckleberry Posted December 28, 2019 Report Posted December 28, 2019 I think I would push Reinhart down to the 2nd line. See if he can help Skinner and Mojo out. Also he can prove himself in a contract year and it will show us a bit better who he really is. Putting up points on Eichel line doesn't warrant a big future contract for me. Quote

PalmTreeMafia Posted December 29, 2019 Report Posted December 29, 2019 The roster actually needs TWO second-line forwards in order to be playoff-competitive. Everything else seems okay to me on paper: Olofsson - Eichel - Reinhart Skinner - ??? - ??? Girgensons - Larsson - Okposo Johansson - Asplund - Thompson Ullmark Hutton Jokiharju - Dahlin Ristolainen - Scandella Montour - Miller The best we can hope for are probably 2C and 2W rentals while praying Cozens and Mittlestadt are ready next year. I would trade away McCabe, Bogosian, Sobotka, Rodrigues, Sheary, and Vesey for 3D/4F players with that ever-elusive "grit" which has been missing from this roster at least since the Twin Tank Years began.

Sabres Fan in NS Posted December 29, 2019 Report Posted December 29, 2019 This was never going to be 'the' season. The team is set up to be in line for a huge make over this coming offseason with all the contracts coming off the books. This was the RaKru coming out party and he has shown that he can take a rag-tag outfit and have them play reasonable well at times. The Sabres will contend for the playoffs next season and the real push is the season following that. 1 Quote
