The Amerks site and different sites have Östlund listed as a left-wing. Does anyone know if he's playing left-wing down there or is he playing center? is he a center or a lw longterm?

how about Morgan Frost and Joel Farabee for Jokiharju, Krebs and Ostland (or Savoy)

Get him some boxing lessons over the summer and let him be the 4C.

1. Berube, then 2. Brindamour, then 3. Dean Evason, then 4. Jay Woodruff, then 5. Peca. Maybe switch 1 and 2. My guess is that Brindamour wont leave Carolina.

who is the better payer of the two?

OK, what did I miss.........

Regarding the power play, last year, towards the last third of the season, opposing teams caught on that you need to stop leaving Thompson open on the half wall for his wicked one timer. Once other teams adjusted, by having someone pop out immediately once Dahlin gets the puck at the point, Thompson stopped scoring on the power play. Carry over to this year, I remember one time when Thompson scored from the half wall on the power play from releasing his wicked one time on a feed from Dahlin. The Sabres need to adjust, maybe by putting him on the other half wall. They haven't. That is coaching. Maybe the power play coach ought to be looked at. I am not sure what the answer is, Ovechkin has made a career of doing it, but to me that needs to be looked at.

Physical? Can he take any of the pugilistic duties on?

Going back the past month or so, this is the move I thought would be a good idea. Nice move

As I have said before, Sabres should do everything in their power to get this guy back into the organization in some capacity, before someone else does, like for example Drury and Briere. I am aware that the issue is that he sees himself as a west coast guy now. Retiring his Jersey is a good first step.

I did not give up on hope that he would be a productive player, although I will admit I was getting a tiny bit nervous. In my mind, given his length, it did think it would take him longer to turn into a solid nhler. Having the precise muscle control to coordinate all those gangly parts into what we now see was always going to take more time. It usually does for tall players. I hope Power doesn't take until he is 24-25 Y/O to do the same.

Skinner Thompson Tuch Krebs Cozens Peterka Quinn Mittelstadt Oloffson Okposo Asplund Girgensons Hinostroza Hayden Power Jokiharju Dahlin Samuelsson Bryson Fitzgerald Pysyk This is how I see our team looking next year. The Flyers and the Bruins have always been synonymous with big, bad, rough and tough teams. Win or lose, same identity. To me, the Sabres hallmark has been speed. Remembering back to the 03-07 teams coming out of the lockout, our team was built on wicked speed and quickness. It seems that that is the team we are trying to build now. Is that too many of the same type of player? Small, skilled, quick and fast players. Someone recently said that you need different type of players in order to build a successful organization. Back in the day, I remember one of the players say that management told him to take boxing lessons over the summer, could have been Barnaby. I think someone should tell Cozens to take a boxing lesson this summer. Not necessarily to fight, but to be ready when it may become necessary and so that he doesn't get it handed to him. I hope Power, Samuelsson and maybe Dahlin develop a snarl to go along with their extraordinary ability. Maybe we should bring in a big rough tough RHD, this summer.

Sorry. What is Chad DeDominicus podcast. Can't find it.

I totally agree with this. Just look at Tage Thompson. Took him till now to grow into his body.

I have thought all season that Hinostroza is more than JAG. Resign him. He is a speed guy, a veteran who can play on the bottom six.
