I could actually see Benson doing all of it, even the helmet thing (or something similar). Benson is a brat and I love it. True about Eichel. There was a standing around nobody doing anything incident with Eichel getting flattened way back before last year's Tage incident. I think it was in Colorado but I kind of throw old seasons out of the memory with all the previous garbage seasons. I just go from GM to GM though as a new era so under Adams, he should have addressed this right away and if he had we wouldn't be discussing it now.

No. For one, D always take longer. Power is on schedule and I have never advocated trading him. What I have said about him is Sabres wanted too much too soon from him. He needed a vet partner and less top minutes early on. Still does. I don't like the way they develop players as an organization. Quinn lacks compete to my eyes. He's soft and he floats. I don't like his style of play and don't think it's a good fit for what you want to build. I just don't see that changing in him and would look at selling to someone like you who thinks he still has a high ceiling not seen yet. Do it before everyone realizes that ceiling isn't there.

AHL Bruins brought in two of the top AHL scorers from last year in Steeves and Blumel. Neither could crack a mediocre to bad NHL roster. You need to stop the nonsense of thinking AHL success is automatic NHL success to come.

Motivated rosen has started off hot. 6 pts in 2 games. Where was this during preseason

I can see Benson following in his footsteps. Sans the helmet trick of course. Eichel asked for more toughness on more than one occasion. He was spot on.

See, this what we should have done when we first started to rebuild. Traded Eichel etc. When you rebuild with youth you want some solid toughness on the roster. Bodyguards if you will. When you do that those kids learn it's okay to initiate cause somebody will have my back. The team grows and plays bigger and then eventually you don't need that guy as much cause you have an army. In time, he won't be needed most nights, but for now he's vital.

Many people had the same criticisms of Power. Be more patient or you will see another traded Sabre thriving with another team.

For how long? Quinn has been here long enough to show or not show imo. I see guys stepping into the fight now and I still see him as a passive floater. Not the type of player you want for what you want to build. You can have all the skill in the world you want, but if you don't have the compete, you are of little value.

22yr old isak Rosen is 1st in the AHL in scoring. Maybe slow this nonsense down.

Why has it taken 20 years for someone to punk Marchand?

and there’s always this guy.

Hopefully that’s the case because on top of that, they still have reinforcements incoming.

Was this Power's best all around game as a Sabre? He seems to finally be using his body size as an advantage.

I’ve heard good things about your milkshake. brings all the boys to the yard, IIRC

That was the general impression I got... so it's verified I guess. It's almost as if they were holding them back so they'd be fresh when killing penalties.

Sucking fat through a tube is my dinner plans.

Kodak Kozak, Hey that's pretty good. Both he and Malenstyn played more time short handed than they did 5 on 5. Amazing job on the PK.

Anyone know of a free site to watch a replay? Mine shuts down once the games over. Thanks

A marked improvement on the last 6 years of sabres hockey

I think he's a bottom sixer who will be part of the team going forward. He may get bounced back to the AHL, but I think late last year he shifted from an AHLer to a tweener in my mind, and I think he is moving from tweener to NHLer as we speak.

Didn’t see any of it as we were on the road, but sounds like a quality effort and good result. Let’s get to .500.

Yet no penalty. Hmm. I wonder where Colin Campbell's son works. Maybe he even has a sliver of ownership.

Better shut him down for the season, just to be safe.

I guess every game is 'winnable', but I don't think they have things easy coming up at all... Montreal and Detroit the next 2....both are 4-1 and actually look really good....then a home-and-home vs Toronto? Its not exactly the Isles, Flyers, and C-bus. Their next 10 games have opponents with combined record of 31-16.
