Weave

The kids would be a poor substitute for KO and Z. We need their type of game in the lineup. Two rooks aren’t providing that.

I hate that I have to hate Jake now.

I’m not too worried about keeping up with the teams that have added so far. But as soon as teams we are fighting with for a playoff spot start adding…..

The team with Ryan Reeves would.

NHL intelligence. AHL talent. He was never going to be a valuable NHL player.

Given the trade talk, I was concentrating on Jensen a bit yesterday. For the right price, hell yeah.

I don’t think it is anything more than Asplunds game doesn’t fit the type of hockey Granato wants the team to play. To be honest, I always considered Asplund a AAAA player and not important to the team going forward anyway.

When I first read that tweet I thought, thats fuggin ridiculous. But your point is well made. I don’t know squat about Cal Foote, but all the rest is 1 or 2 NHL players most likely. Is Jeannot really worth 2 NHLers and whatever Cal Foote’s value is? If Tampa gets to the finals again and Jeannot is a positive contributor to it, I wouldn’t bitch as a fan. You only get so many kicks at it. Might as well be all in while the window is open.

Not pissed, but disappointed. I really think it would be a missed opportunity to give this young core a good run at a playoff round.

Gatekeeper? Thats a new label for me. I’m just commenting on how weirdly negative this all sounds after a huge, entertaining win with 2 of our arguably top 3 players on the shelf.

Deadline selling is for suckers. Let’s take advantage of them.

I’m all in on a Chychun+ Crouse deal.

I came here to post what a pleasantly surprising win that was, and a fun one to boot. FFS you’d think the score was reversed.

We should Make GA form every other post as a haiku to counteract the other posts that are novelas.

Roll all 3 in a rotation.

He’s bot afraid of pulling the trigger. He hasn’t prioritized winning yet.

Agreed. I don’t see Asplund providing anything that needs replacing with Tuch’s absence. Hino at least can play at the pace this offense prefers, and doesn’t have rocks for hands.

I think what Tage will miss most with Tuch out of the lineup is the board work and puck hounding Tuch is so good at. Seems to me that KO is best equipped to replace it. Problem is, KO isn’t keeping up with that line so it won’t be first guy in that’s best at puck retrieval. Once they’ve established in the zone, KO should be fine though.

He’s an NHL level player. The others? Who knows? I say Vinnie is more likely to help than one if the kids. Its trying to win, but it isn’t a big try.

My questionable source for streamed sabres games had better be reliable tonight….

Sabres see Rienhart at C for the bad guys tonight? We got this.

Yonkers Reading Club?

We need to celebrate on the lake when the water softens a bit.

Times like these I wish we had a Gudas on our roster.

It would be awesome if they had more than two players on the team that know what playoff level hockey looks like.
