Expand I think he can be a 50p player in NHL. I am pretty sure about it even. But playing as a 3C next year, no, then we can kiss playoff goodbye. Lundell took the 3C spot in Florida his first season, they made the playoffs (think for the first time in a while), and you know the rest. The difference is Lundell was a year older and came to a team with Barkov and Bennett as centers on first and second line. But Lundell and Helenius both has the responsible two way game and smartness, why I made the compere 2 Quote

Trettioåtta Posted June 30, 2024 Report Posted June 30, 2024 Alexander Wennberg would be my choice for 3C. I would love Pesce to round out our top 4, but he would be expensive and the Devils are strongly linked to him. Peterka - Thompson - Tuch XXX - Cozens - XXX Benson - Wennberg - Quinn Greenway - Krebs - Malenstyn Savoie / Rousek / Kulich as the thirteenth forward I think overpaying a youngish player for 2-3 years is the best option - they can double dip free agency when the cap has gone up and still make a decent amount of a short contract with the Sabres Quote

Not being privy to what was said in conversations, if any took place at all, leads at least myself to guess on what actually may have occurred. Of course, we are still a day from fa, so maybe there is a plan in play that needs to play out in early July before we see what Adams is doing, but yea, it is frustrating given the last 13 yrs.

LGR4GM Posted June 30, 2024 Report Posted June 30, 2024 Yaakov Trenin is a 4th line Center that mildly interests me. 6'2" with okay defensive numbers and 27yrs old. 1 Quote
LGR4GM Posted June 30, 2024 Report Posted June 30, 2024 Jordan Martinook is another 4th line guy who also is good defensively. 6' and only 31, played on Carolina for the past few seasons so knows good possession hockey. 1 Quote
