    You aren't the only one but I want to say that whenever anyone on this site pencils Cozens in as a 3rd line center, you are living in fantasy land. 

    JJP - TNT- Tuch

    Skinner/Benson - Cozens - Quinn 

    Those lines are basically set and I don't believe until he proves me wrong, that Adams has it in him to move a top 6 guy out or demote Cozens to the 3rd line.

    I agree, and that is why the only chance of seeing this team make the playoffs next year is in my dreamland. Their forward lineup in this years playoffs would have been the worst out of all the teams.

    If KA can make a deal that pushes Greenway to the 4th line, that’s a step in the right direction. I like Greenway and am glad he is here.  I do think if we made a 4th line staring Greenway, a decent center and another smart effort player, we could have a very effective and disruptive “4th” line.  

    When I look at the returning forwards I see 4 top 6 players (Quinn, TNT, Tuch and JJP), 3 players who could be in the top 6 but shouldn’t be yet (or anymore) in Skinner, Benson and Cozens and a 3/4 liner in Greenway.  
     

    In Adam’s world the forwards probably look something like this

    JJP TNT Tuch

    Benson Cozens Quinn

    Skinner ????  Greenway

    ?????  Krebs ?????

    What he should be looking at

    JJP TNT Tuch

    Benson  ????  Quinn

    Skinner Cozens ????

    ????  ????  Greenway

    We need a top6/9 center, a top 9 RW, a 4th LW and Center.  

    JJP TNT Tuch

    Benson  ????  Quinn

    Skinner Cozens ????

    ????  ????  Greenway

    Yup, they absolutely have to get a 2nd line center in a trade, along with filling those three other ??? you have. Anything short of those changes and this team will not finish with more than 90ish points. The forwards are nowhere near good enough as is.

  3. I am starting to think that the Sabrs actually need to blow the entire team up for better talent after seeing the rosters on these playoff teams. The problem is…how are they going to get better talent when they have wasted so many high draft picks on mediocre Players? 

    The only solution is to trade their top level prospects for proven players and hope that somebody bites.

    Not over yet and I don’t want to jinx it, and I was wrong about Hellebuyck apparently (yeesh) but: 

     

     

    It’s really their D AND offence that has let them down. They seem ill-equipped for playoff puck 

    This is what is very strange to me. The Jets bitch slapped us up and down the ice The last time we played them. After that game, I wanted nothing more than to have a roster like theirs. Not quite sure what is going on over there in Winnipeg.

  5. This Boston Toronto series is exactly why we really needed to get into the playoffs. The team, as it is currently constructed would be absolutely ragdolled from start to finish. It would actually be embarrassing. The good part about that is that this idiot GM would finally realize how to build a team.

    Lindy is what? 64? He's not going to want to coach forever (I assume.) What if you brought back Lindy Ruff while promoting Seth Appert to an associate HC role and presumed heir to the job after Ruff retires?

    I don't HATE that idea but I just don't know if I want Ruff back her at at all, even though I loved his time here.

    Quotes like this are up there with the most embarrassing experiences of the drought imo. Just a complete joke of a season from day zero. 

    Yup, and and as a season ticket holder (ex now), it pisses me off even more. This team is currently rotten, I mean rotten to the core. I hope the next coach makes their lives MISERABLE from day one, they all deserve it.

  8. I talked to my St Louis contact and he said that people were actually pissed when he was fired but they felt like they needed a new voice. They did go on a 14-6 run right after he was fired. He was liked by players even though he was tough on them. I like the sound of that...

  9. There is that accountable piece...in case this was not posted yet.

    Alex Tuch super enthused when I brought up Lindy and Gerard Gallant (“Turky”) as Granato replacements. Joked he’s seen more #Sabres games coached by Ruff than he’s played in. Loved how Gallant held him accountable during his #VGK career.
