Because if you don’t score and you’re not on the top line, dude don’t want them on the team

The centers are automatically last on the order of who they would send down… except Dunne. Östlund and Kozak are safe for a bit.

I don't get the Malenstyn disrespect. He's a monster on the forecheck. He often beats players to the puck on dump-ins.

Yes, if you waive Kozak at this point, he won't make it to Rochester. Heck, he wouldn't make it past Edmonton. They could use a player like him in their bottom six.

Glad to see Malenstyn get a well deserved seat upstairs. He'll hit and block the odd shot, but is an offensive black hole. Kozak and Dunne can play the same role... Only better. Krebs... Your next. Greenway... You too. I thought about including Quinn on this list but part of me feels he's on the brink of figuring out his game. There's definite glimpses. Kind of like when Thompson was younger, but hadn't quite put it all together yet.

It'll likely never get to Kozak going down, or possibly even Östlund or Rosen because of the next injuries which have yet to occur.

It’s going on 15 years. If people haven’t stopped going, then I doubt the will now. He knows season ticket sales are way down. That’s probably why he wants 200+ events at the arena to help bring in some cash

People been going to games for years of this BS team.

Blind ?

Honestly, with how well Doan has played, it should function as a capable top line. Just need to Tuch to give a damn.

I doubt that...

He actually cleared, eh?! 😅

Indifference works both ways. Pegula will eventually see the empty seats.

You think Benson slid because what he does doesn't show up in videos or on stats?

And in that order too.

I think part of this comes from less reliance on the old time actual scouts. Guys who went around to the rinks. They talked to the coaches, the parents, people watching. The kids themselves. They got to know the families and their stories. How they worked. Their character. They got to know and see things that don't always show up on video. They still do some of that but not as much. Benson is clearly a character guy with a work ethic. If I'm tearing this down to the studs (again) he'd be one of the few I'd actually keep. Maybe the only one. Well that's true but I really see no correlation with Savoie other than the fact both were smaller and so both fell below their ranking. otherwise they have nothing in common.

yes

Was the owner the person who required that Jarmo be hired? Or did the owner tell the GM that he needed veteran help around him resulting in KA bringing in Jarmo? Or did KA go to the owner and tell him that he would like to add Jarmo to his staff? Just curious.

Huge night for UPL. If the narrative that he need pressure to be great is true, tonight is the kind of night for him to shine. It’s a big night for him because if he’s bad, it’s OVER for him as a starter in Buffalo. I cannot explain it, but for some reason I’m expecting him to be good tonight. Tage and Tuch can have a big night. I wouldn’t bet against it after the stinker on Wednesday. It’s their MO to be good after a letdown.

Boy! I bet that "first line" of ours really puts the fear into our opponents! One frickin far cry from the "French Connection". Oh how far the benchmark of a scoring line has fallen for this franchise!!!😫

Josh Norris is close to full gears. The top six is close to full form. Time to make a run.

Zucker’s impact back into the lineup is a huge boost to the top six. Pushing the kids to the third line and giving Quinn NHL forwards to play with is a huge help. A big game for Quinn is needed or he’s headed to the press box. Still need Benson back, but at least the top six is filled with NHL regulars.

Keeping Power would be definitely worst- case scenario!!!

He hasn’t tried. The MO of every hire has been “patience”
