That's exactly how the math of probability works. It's heavily against it being an exactly even trade. I suppose that's why a mathematical equation that's true, has you fooled that it's irony.

Why would you break up Samuelsson Timmons when it has been good and is your main PK pair? You just play Kesselring with Power like you planned and see if it works. All Kesselring has to do to "work" is be as good as Timmons has been. If he's even better, well, then even better.

Ya, I’d bet on this. How else is Adams going to get Power’s trade value up so he can bring in those two 3rd liners.

Michael Kesselring....

IF No offense, @swamp, I want him to develop and fit but but don't see it happening. Love the offensive upside but he can't play D

Where can I place a bet now, that UPL will be the starting goal tender tomorrow night?

I agree with your observations that Power his steadily improving on his positioning. It's not a dramatic change but it is noticeable, at least to me.

I saw a couple of plays the last few games that give me pause on trading Power. I saw him use his body to get position and gain the puck a couple of times. Not sure if I've ever seen it before. Not this clearly, anyway. It gave me hope. Man, if he could actually learn to use his size,…

@Brawndo, fess up. Is that you with the red top and hairy arm pits? You should be proud of your thick thighs. 😁

There is something about Byram that makes me unsure. When one watches him play, it seems that the parts/skills just don't match the production. He can skate and shoot and is more of an offensive defensive. However, he just doesn't seem to mesh well with the other players. I'm not advocating to trade him because I want to see more. From a contract standpoint, it seems to me that KA got it right not signing him to a very long contract.

I like Power's current game just as much as Bryam, and his potential at this point a lot more than Byram. Byram only has worked when playing with Dahlin, and he as to be the '2nd' guy on that pair (in terms of responsibility)

In this case equating Bryam to a slightly better version of Cozens is the BEST comparison I can make. If you don't like that I pointed out Cozens flaws in the past, thats on you. There is no better player for me to make my comparison to. Personally I am pretty sure I make less negative comments about Cozens than many on this board do about Adams and/or Power, people with more influence over this team than Cozens had. The 'kicking your dog' comment is better spent directed other places.

Trading Power for Byfield makes absolutely no sense to me. Sure, I would love to add Byfield but not for Power. And it would take a lot more than Byram to get Byfield.

He's not my boy. I don't get why saying something "not negative" against a player suddenly makes someone their advocate? Honest question: Can you explain why you gave me a reaction to my post?

I agree with comments above: if, in fact, he's going to play, and he's going to be in one of the top 3 pairings (there are only 3 that play in the game, which we all know), shouldn't he be practicing with the top 3 pairings, and more specifically, with his defense partner for the upcoming game? Same would apply to any player who is returning from injury and set to appear in a game - practice on your pair/line with your partner/linemates.

I'll be suprised if it isn't Byram Dahlin Power Kesselring Samuelsson. Timmins

I’m hoping that when Kesserling works out the rust that he gets paired with Power. I like the way Sammy has been playing but I believe he is better suited on the third pair with Timmons. That leaves Bryam paired with Dahlin on the first pair. The player that I’m most pleased with in the unit is Samuelsson. He’s not noticeable because he’s efficiently doing his job and seems to be playing with confidence.

He's not my boy. I don't get why saying something "not negative" against a player suddenly makes someone their advocate?

Did Cozens kick your dog or something? We get it....you don't like him. No need to keep crusading against him. If Byram is a Camry, what is Power, a Jetta?

I see two reasons to discuss.

Kesselring may be ready for action with Metsa being sent down Dahlin Samuelsson Power Timmins Byram Kesselring Maybe 3 evenish pairs?

Eklund is just something hey. There is no way we go after Kempe with his UFA status and the current ask of contract. Byfield, now there is a possibility, LA was apprently quietly shopping him in the off season for defensive help, and with the struggles of the Vet defensmen they picked up in Doumalin and Ceci, maybe they are willing to discuss that again Byram for Byfield? Maybe we need to kick in a bit more but that could be something Byfield for Power.....boy I just don't know how to feel here, I probably would still say yes as long as it was one for one Either of those would be eerily similar to the Seth Jones for Ryan Johnason swap! Hello Jarmo We just would then be needing to add another defensman

The 2 goals he was responsible for at the time the post was made for 1 thing. What does Ruff and management have against them? They're the ones that sent your boy back to the A.
