Why have Krebs on wing on the 1st line? 😉

Why not have Thompson centering the first line?

My guess it has to do with Power/Byram and Tuch now based on the return Vancouver got, I’d imagine they’ll be still looking at Byram/Power more I’d disagree, Hughes is a better offensive threat but lacks any physicality whatsoever

Looks Kevyn showed interest, they just weren’t interested in Power

So you can make big trades in season. Who knew🤷🏻‍♂️?

He needs to score 2 and get 3 apples against the Kraksniffers

Well...

And I thought today would be boring 😴

I’m still not convinced that Tage and Dahlin aren’t part of the problem

Right. Which makes every hour that passes more and more cringe worthy. What exactly was the point of everyone creaming in their jeans to get this story out there when: A) no one actually knows if this is going to happen B) no one actually knows when it’s going to happen. So again, what was the rush to get this story out again? Just another symptom of where we are as a society. Bettermake sure I’m first to report a story, even though I have no details or timeline of when anything is going to happen. We are living in the Idiocracy.

I disagree. I think what has gone for years is firmly embedded and the only way to change it, the only way to make it a destination again, is to publicly announce and then act on a radical change. If they did this the first thing you would see in the media and the 32 thoughts and all that is "radical change in Buffalo" "is this the beginning of a new era?" etc. Would it work? idk, maybe not, but right now Philly, who were behind us in rebuild terms are a playoff bubble team with a prospect cupboard pretty good looking especially Martone. Things might change, but they do seem to have not only survived the Torts surgery but are also better for it. I can't even begin to compare the Bruins plan to what the Sabres do as it's mindboggling that it is already working but the Yzerplan is also ahead and everybody was laughing at that too. The only other failed rebuild right now is Nashville. Calgary and Vancouver are in tear down mode. So I guess those will be the next three we compare to and see pass us unless they do something new here.

He certainly sounds like he’s gaining experience. I’m not sure a jump right to the NHL would be appropriate. Maybe as a replacement for Leone when we give him a spot behind the Sabres bench.

The flight captain will announce it over the PA on the way back.

Amerks are 1-1 in the second. Helinus not in lineup. Not sure why.

Probably not, but they have a better shot now. They have 2 elite forwards in Kaprizov and Boldy. A solid D-corps led by Faber and now Quinn. Elite goaltending. They're weak down the middle, but a strong blue line and elite goaltending can make up for a lot.

https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/canucks-place-forward-lukas-reichel-on-waivers/ What is the deal with this guy? He was a heralded prospect and then suddenly Chicago couldn’t wait to dump him. He goes to Vancouver and rumors start to pop up that he is available again and now they just waive him.

Want no part of that player or contract. Immensely skilled, but fragile mentally, and prone to sulking. That's the LAST thing this outfit needs. Good for Minnesota. Great hockey market, glad to see them do well. They seem to be coming out the other side of the Parisi/Suter buyouts just fine and didn't have to tank to do it. Shows what can be done with a competent GM.

I would have fired Adams by year 2, and immediately after the palm trees bs. Maybe Terry finally had enough, but I'm doubtful. Wishing this to be true.

If it's gonna happen, it will be Monday

Late to the thread and a little past halfway thru. Just wanted to add that if KA is bumped up to POHO then the entire concept of EEE was utter bullsh!t. I can’t think of anything more inefficient and costly.

They're both very good, and I'm a big Dahlin fan, but Hughes is a bit better. He's won the Norris in 2024.
