Some of the young players need to go for established NHL talent. Dont care which players it is as long as the return helps the team win

This has nothing to do with my point.

I was making my own point😁

My point was whether people think a player is rushed (Benson) or not rushed (Rosen) there are too many of them right now to fit in a competitive lineup. With guys like Quinn and JJ up for deals they have to make some decisions on who to keep, who to move up and who to move on from. They need to turn a couple of these guys into good vet players that can help this team win now.

Rosen is looking like a guy who will need a look soon but whether that is in Buffalo or somewhere else is the question.

The years of littering the lineup with kids and hoping they figure it out has to be over if this team wants to compete.

Absolutely and too many similar players too. The mantra as we accumulated all those picks was if we have too many good players we can just trade them for needs but so far they've done very little of that (just Savoie) and they should have done it for this year.

But, they blew this season (again) and now we will hope they do these things for next year. Futile hope maybe, but it's all we got.
