He’s an upgrade, in as much as he brings things the other 6/7/8 Dmen don’t bring. Physical play. If you don’t value that then I suppose you could be right although I’ve seen little out of Clague and Bryson to make me think Stillman can’t do exactly what they did but actually hit people as well.

What I heard from Granato is that he brings attributes they don’t have a lot of on the back end. I don’t want to misquote meatballs but essentially he was alluding to Riley’s physical play. For my money, having an adult sized human on the back end that can play the body and hold his own is a major upgrade over teenie Bryson and his limited offensive game. Now we get to see if Stillman’s physical play outweighs deficiencies.

A fresh face may be a good thing. I don’t know what Bove’s confusion is about. These things happen. It’s not always going to fit whatever timeline suits him.

Maybe in last season’s playoffs. I thought Quinn looked significantly better in the regular season.

I know 4 people going (not including you), unfortunately they are all my babysitting options. 😀

It’s Casey Fitzgerald’s replacement

Eakin?

It’s NHL insiderrrrrrrrrrrr

I want my 6/7 D to hit and drop the gloves.

He fights…hmmm…

I’m going to write a guide for hockey GMs. 1st rule) Don’t make your first trade at the deadline be the most underwhelming trade

Yeah next time I’ll erase my typing before I hit submit reply and save everyone the misery

I 100000000000000% knew someone would take an issue with how I listed his age. I’m an old lazy stoner. I’m not going to take the time to bother looking up someone’s age which is almost inconsequential. But thanks for the clarification.

My head hurts

I have the same trade value as Hauser

His skating and shot are noticeable. The rest of his game I’m kinda oblivious to. He’s not like Quinn, Peterka or Krebs where you immediately knew these guys were good. But he’s still 18/19 so I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt.

But if they score 6+ goals a game and win 90% of their games, would you care?

As is Rosen and Biro. As for Rousek, Weissbach, Kisakov, and Kozak, I’d be surprised if any got a real shot with this team. Too many skilled forwards in the pipeline, at least for now. I’m still watching all their games but I haven’t been able to do GDT for one reason or another. The coaches talked up Biro, Kozak and Rousek a bunch in the off-season. Me thinks it was lord motivational than anything else. Kozak is barely ever noticeable and Rousek is still a ways away.

Beat me to it. Pun intended. You woke up this morning and chose violence!!! Don’t make me relive this hell. 😀

Once you’ve got BDE, you don’t lose it.

Way!

His paychecks are signed by the Pegulas.

They gave up a boatload to get him. I’d love for the Sabres to pick up a big body or two but not at that price.
