Holy Schnikes I’m nearly at 40k just need a few more placeholders like this post

It’s so glaring it’s almost easily ignored due to sheer obviousness: but Norris sitting firmly at 1C is probably where things live or die. You simply need to say “Norris is 1C” for that to be driven home Dalton Smith? Or Timothy Dalton

At least it’s interesting. It’s got Dalton Smith vibes but I’m looking forward to the discourse he’s going to create among the fanbase.

Both Tuch and Greenway push the slots down Happy with the approach keeping that in mind. Bensen is useless if not top6, he just needed some strength. Thompson played better on wing, the defense duties took him out of the offense too much. I’m guessing they will swap with Norris for faceoffs here or there. Kulich will have a lot to prove as a 2/3C though. Bryson is at least not magically in the line up. Samuelsson might have a chance if he’s the least minutes

When you get to a certain age, it’s all you have to look forward to, amiright @PASabreFan?

I like Ziemer but idk if that's a 70pt winger, 50 is a stretch. Poltapov isn't real until he shows up.

Here we go now here we go now here we go now here we go ah ah ah ah

Tuch has been one of the best value players not on their ELC, we've had. I wonder if he's looking to make up for some of that, beyond his current value.

Helenius in 2026, and Ziemer and Poltapov in 2027. Here we go!

I guess time has softened my perception of all things that didn’t bite me in the ass repeatedly

Thankfully we have a plan to make it up by simply committing to playing defence - that was always on Adams’ ledger for “Year 6”

Shows how little depth this team has and there's almost nothing coming to supplement it.

At the very least it drives home the magnitude of needing to get Tuch signed (though again I really, really don’t see it being an issue)

This feels like Matt Ellis 2.0. Lindy loved him some Matt Ellis.

I think every rw after Tage is up 1 line compared to when Tuch is there. Except it didn't work and was the 2nd line.

I can’t even remember who the third guy was at this point but as Vanek / Roy alone had more points in 2006 than those 3 combined this is one I won’t concede

All work and no play make thorny a dull boy

Campbell was a good but flawed puck-moving defenceman who didn't play in tough defensive situations an absolutely benefitted from being on good teams.

Yes? Sorry is your opinion that Byram didn’t severely benefit from Dahlin, and that Brian wasn’t the best player on his pair? Why don’t you just focus on my post pumping Power’s tires I’m tired of my takes literally never being positive enough for you lol. Byram is the goat and I am sorry and apologize and will not take issue with any comparison made to franchise keystones of the past - I officially concede (regardless of the demonstrably poor relative metrics)

Cozens Peterka Quinn in 2023?

Day-to-day with the "not doing training camp practices until the extension is in place" injury designation, but will be healthy for opening day. Nothing to see here. I take his day-to-day designation as excellent news for re-signing shortly. (Unless Adams pulls a Jones/Parsons with him.) (and again, if I were Tuch I still wouldn't sign until next summer.)

You're supposed to come into camp already in game shape. Sabrespace needs your razor-sharp wit and gentle insight if we have any chance of making it through this year intact.

Interestingly we still refer to it as the “Vanek and Roy” line because in the 19 years since no other prophesized versions have capably supplanted the memory
