I think the plan is to sign a major free agent preferably Matt Duchenne. Resign Skinner and keep the draft picks. Then bribe Seattle into taking Okposo contract in the expansion draft next year.

Are you familiar with Phil Housley early years? He was so poor defensively that he was moved to forward. He’s in the HOF. Rasmus will be amazing. Do you know who was the last 18 year old defenseman to be great in his rookie year? Bobby Orr. That was 50 years ago.

Mittelstadt belongs in Rochester. I think he’s only here because we traded ROR. He clearly isn’t ready. We are very weak down the middle. I’m not sure how we are going to improve the center position in the near future. Asplund isn’t ready either. Samson can’t play center. Maybe Girgensons is the best answer for now.

I also never want to see Sobotka on the power play again.

Yikes those stats are an indictment of HCPH.

I can’t figure out why Elie is on the team. He showed me nothing. I’d rather see Nylander or Olofson.

While we are definitely improved I think other factors account for this such as goaltending, Bogo, Dahlin McCabe and Skinner

I’m really wondering if trading ROR was a huge mistake. Casey Mittelstadt is not a second line center and the return on the deal seems mediocre. Did Bots overreact to ROR getting emotional with the media?

Patience. He’s just a kid.

Phil needs a new hairstyle. I’m begging.

Risto always comes to play. He’s a stud. Analytics don’t do him justice

Reinhart is MIA without Jack. He’s no better than Okposo tonight.

Dahlin brings hope and offensive skills even if he is a defensive liability. He sells tickets. There is no way he was going to AHL unless we wanted to tank again.

I also don’t understand why Dahlin isn’t playing with Bogosian. He seemed comfortable on the left side with Bogo.

Pilut is much older than Dahlin. When Dahlin is 22 he will be a superstar. He needs to grow into his body and learn the NHL game.

Did Housley spend some of that time at center? I know at some point he was moved off the blue line, I’m just not sure when.

If we could only figure out a a way to get rid of Okposos contract our cap would be in great shape.

I’m thinking Skinner isn’t signing for less than 8 years 70 million

I would really like to jettison Tennyson from the lineup. He has been playing far too much.

I was unable to decipher how many of his 18ev points occurred without Eichel. Please enlighten me.

I agree that on his current contract he's fine. However he is useless at even strength without Jack. I'm concerned that with his inflated numbers from being with Jack and on the power play will result in an Okposo type deal which would be terrible. Pommers numbers get similarly inflated and you see what happens when he gets moved off of Jacks line.

Do we have anyone who can score even strength goals when they are not on Jacks wing? This includes Skinner and Samson.

And they’re doing it without PK

My prized Sabres memorabilia was a black and white 8 x 10 photo of Gilbert Perreault that he personally autographed for me. I had knocked on his house door on ranch trail about 1974. He was very friendly even with the doorbell ringing nonstop He was living with Gerry Desjardins at the time. They took turns answering the door and giving autographs to all the neighborhood kids. Unfortunately this irreplaceable item was stolen from me by our moderator N Freeman many years ago and I may have to visit NYC to take back my prized possession

Tage Thompson does not belong in the NHL at this time. Rodriguez is a much better player
