Maturity? 

Low hockey sense ... which has always been his issue even going back to juniors. The fact that the Sens traded a center to get him shows they'll use him there. Huge mistake.

It's weird to me that we went so quickly from:

• 3 emerging top 6 centres (Thompson, Cozens, Mitts)
• and maybe 4 more guys coming (Savoie, Östlund, Kulich, Krebs)

To:

• 1 oft-injured top 6 centre (Norris)
• and maybe 2 guys coming (Kulich, Östlund)

I hate Tage as a winger and I hate how they've moved away from him with Tuch on Line One and as the focus of the PP.

Maybe Norris can run a 2nd line, and allow us to bring back the Tuch/Thompson combo on line 2?

Thompson Tuch on line 1 you mean? Ya possibly 

wouldn’t really like look of all left shot Norris line though.

Peterka - Thompson  - Kulich

Greenway - Norris - Tuch 

..good? Is there a stylistic fit here? 
 

it’s lacking playmaking. Peterka and Tuch I suppose 

I’d be much more comfortable with Greenway in a Bottom 6 role. I think you have 3 of your Top 6 on the team next year here currently: Thompson, Tuch and one of Peterka/Quinn. Possibly Kulich if he takes the next step.

I have no issues with a botttom 6 of Greenway/Zucker/McLeod/Kozak to start with. Norris down here or Kulich is a plus too.

Who are the other 3 that make up the top 6 then? Already granted Kulich..

the top 6 doesn’t promote confidence at this time

The addition ... is the subtraction. It is Buffalo's destiny to bring balance to the Concept of the Cup.

There's still a chance that 2026 2nd is pick 64 in the draft!

Adams playing checkers again. Fleeced

[inkman]

I know Gilbert doesn’t really move the needle but why is this org constantly removing any toughness that exists on the roster.  It’s maddening. 

[LGR4GM]

This trade is mediocre. 

[Weave]

Don’t like losing the only glove dropper on the team.  Oh well.

 

and if Cozens ever figures it out he is gonna be a nightmare with Tay-chuck.

[Warriorspikes51]

I preferred when the mystic intangibles remained exactly that. Rather than given a name and counted on specifically

Our addition by subtraction is off the chart. Not even master Yoda has a count that high

I think the second is for Bernard Docker???

[Sidc3000]

wow that turned into a shitshow quick

[Mr. Allen]

Can’t believe Adams gave up that 2nd.  How embarrassing for him.
