Top 4 D - Montour. Jost over Krebs? Where is Cozens? Montour coming back here?? Samsonov over Levi when Levi had better numbers on a worse team? This is quite the plan and I don’t understand any of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montour naw, lol, we screwed that up when we traded him. Levi needs more time to cook in the AHL before we throw 40 shots a game at the NHL level at him.

seer775 Posted Saturday at 10:24 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 10:24 PM Top 4 D candidates are likely a trade with a cap sunk team. VGK - McNabb, Whitecloud, Hague, Theodore. Rangers - Gustafsson. Jets - Schmidt. Panthers - OEL. First order of business would be to trade Samuelsson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure he "tried", he better have "tried" but succeeding is what makes a good GM. Utah and L.A. are better teams than they were after the draft day deals. At the moment, we are not a better team than we were. We just have more prospects. Or my favorite: ”Who are they supposed to trade for? Nobody is available.” Nobody ever seems to be available for Kevyn Adams. Might as well hold all prospects one more year! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can over-pay Stephenson (for example) think we have to get comfortable with the fact that one of Benson or Savoie will be a top 6 player this season and the other 3rd line winger.

Do you see an O’Reilly type player in him? I really like what little I’ve seen and read and believe he’s got a skill set we need albeit down the road a ways.

Also now have Greenway for 3rd or 4th line and Rousek as possible 4th line Center. Krebs is Done I think 3rd Line Malenstyn Laughton C Benson 4th Line Greenway Rousek C Savoie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like what little I’ve seen and read and believe he’s got a skill set we need albeit down the road a ways. (Thinking not as far as his age might suggest). 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trettioåtta Posted Sunday at 09:11 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 09:11 AM 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
