Carolina is approximately as physical of a team as we can truly handle. Gritty with toughness but no particular heavy hitters.

I partially disagree seeing as Adams has made it apparent he’s been trying to get bigger stronger players since mid way through last season. He went after Chychrun and acquired Greenway and Stillman. Draft wise, my guess it’s more of a best player available approach more than specifically targeting small guys.

Just keep getting points; I highly doubt they’ll make the playoffs but entertaining us is always a positive.

I think you can, and more or less must, keep him under 4mil. Between Mitts making about 7 and UPL pulling in 4 we’d not have much room to make any improvements. Anything more and we are effectively trapped hoping the present team just improves via experience

Worst part about this entire season is that Granato needs to be fired more than likely but unlike Krueger, I still really like the man.

He's no sure thing but he's kind of the only goalie prospect we have even within 3 years of being NHL capable. Good ones, rarely. It's more akin to a crapshoot. Usually you either overpay and get screwed or underpay and get screwed.

On progressively inane calls

Even so, it means if UPL falls off we are literally without a goalie for the present and future.

We got Tuch, Krebs and a protected 1st + 2nd and sent them back a 3rd. No where near as much as Cozens + Benson + more I wouldn’t offer Levi regardless

At that cost it isn't worth it in the slightest. You'd end up in Lindros trade territory of 4 1sts + for 1 guy and that never works out for the team getting the 1 player.

I'd say no since Levi is still our high end prospect goalie and until UPL does this a couple years I'm not interested in playing that game. Quinn and Peterka are a dynamic duo and I'd be extremely hesitant to trade either of them much less both.

Great player but his maturity issues being bantered about would give me great hesitation over any such acquisition. You'd be nuts to trade Dahlin for him. I'd decline that rather easily to be perfectly honest. You don't trade an entire line's worth of talent and your top prospect goalie for a singular player with perceived maturity issues.

Benson can't play in Rochester; he is stuck either in Juniors or the NHL

The statistic here just tells me Cozens and Benson have done the work but haven’t been rewarded whereas Peterka is having some puck luck. Anything within 2 to -2 really isn’t a story as it’s merely a margin of error.

1st goal is still credited to Girgs by some miracle lol

Guy is gripping his stick like it’s his child being sucked into a tornado.

I was meaning what I'd want for the team not what they have.

Greenway going goalie on the line to kill the play with 2.5 seconds left. Tage was held with no call then slashed in rage which the ref looked at then after a delay made the call. Cozens drew a pretty chincy call and then Tuch and Greenway worked the final 25 seconds

Bad penalty but that delay by the ref is absurd

Thompson’s shot isn’t as hard this year so he’s probably trying to compensate with more tight window shots but has been missing

Well then I doubt we are scouting them regarding trading Mitts. Trading him for futures would likely cause chants for heads not just firings. Still don’t really have any interest in trading Mitts but in Colorado’s case I’d value Girard >>>> Byram

I have literally negative interest in Byram. Girard is at least somewhat interesting. Would rather try to get Manson cheaply in the off-season however

Not quite 2 scoring lines 1 multi-purpose line (defensively sound and still competent offensively) 1 Character Line (Vets, energy, checking, etc)

Sabres win 6-2, Skinner with a hattrick and 4 pts because he likes abusing MTL and us fans
