The Bills will have to beat the Broncos first obviously but I think the Ravens are terrifying for just about anyone. Idk how you stop Lamar throwing or running and then you add in having to stop Henry too... that team might be unbeatable in the postseason.

Honestly I would bring of Kozak and maybe even give Novikov a game. I also think Isak Rosen deserves a look more than Wahlberg. A bunch of people have brought up Savoie and his AHL numbers recently and they are almost the exact same as Rosen's. Just food for thought.

So you want to be here? Quick, someone text Kevyn Adams, he'll get you right into the lineup.

Well Quinn is getting 3x2 at best. Peterka maybe 4x2 or something so you we have lots of money. Byram, 6x5? I ain't going much higher than that. Basically I am not worried about the cap because you can always trade someone and Buffalo technically has another 8mil coming off the cap with Zucker and Greenway UFAs. He plays almost exactly how he did in college. He uses his reach to get pucks and move them up ice but his physical game is meh at best.

Michael Misa (#77) highlights for the first half-ish of the season.

Not that this stat is well kept but Hockey Ref has Byram at 39giveaways and 13takeaways and Power at 37giveaways and 15takeaways If I am being completely honest here... I might consider moving both depending on the return I can get. Edit: Btw, Dahlin has 40gives and 14takes

Ask and you shall receive:

Please no. Anton Wahlberg is younger than Benson. If there's one guy other than Helenius at forward we need to develop proper, it's Wahlberg. Let him stay in Rochester after a nice WJC.

Think Jack Hughes but with a better attention in the defensive end while giving up some of the flash offensively. Only saw bits and pieces of the gold game and some other highlights but Hagens is still a solid player who can transition the puck, use his hands to buy time, and has a solid shot. He's very smart too. That said, from what I've read and seen, I don't think he pulled away from the other 3 top guys, he more or less just maintained his lead on them. I'm very annoyed Misa wasn't at the tournament but Canada is dumb. That all said, we'll get mid season aka January rankings and analysis in the next week or so and it's really the first rankings we can take any stock in. I'd expect some combo of Hagens, Misa, Schaefer, and Martone for most of everyone's top 4.

The scoring on Peterka's first goal was changed. It's now Tuchs goal with JJP getting the primary assist.

Numbers tonight make the McLeod line look legit. They were very good.

Ruff said Kulich has a lbi and will be re-evaluated tomorrow. My guess is at least day to day.

Adams needs Krebs to happen. Sunk cost fallacy.

Because Adams has favorites.

Victory!

Lmfao

Hey look, that McLeod guy was out in front and JJP puts it home.

No need to punch down on a team like Buffalo

I call Miedema and overager because he's in DY+2 so he's one of the older players in his league. Him playing at a ppg pace now is fine but not exciting. Barlow, imo is the example of why the CHL agreement is bad.

Lost to what? If they are good enough, they'll be in Rochester.

I think Harrison Brunicke would have been a better pick than Kleber but we shall see.

It is time, but you are arguing we shouldn't have drafted all of these players and should have drafted something other than centers. Also I don't agree that "Several of them are performing at a better-than-could-be-hoped-for level given their draft position." all the guys I mentioned are at their draft status. They are long shots one and all. Also, you don't develop players in the NHL, certainly not 4th liners which is what most of these guys are. Why should I care if they develop with us? We have guys that are better, so am I supposed to fret that someone guy is Hagel and suddenly gets good? as Opposed to someone getting good like Wahlberg? Should I ship out Östlund so that Miedema has an AHL spot? Why? Again, this is illogical. You are saying "we should move on from these guys, to get a look at these other guys because WHAT IF!?" and I just don't see that as any sort of reason to do anything. Also this is Miedema 4th OHL year, so I understand why you don't call that an overager but he's barely doing a point per game in his 4th OHL seasons. That just screamers tweener. He's basically plateaued and that's not a great sign.
