Friedman is reporting that Vancouver maybe willing to move Thatcher Demko when he returns from injury.

Östlund, Rosen and Kulich should get the call, the latter will probably be released for the WJC by the Amerks

Why do I have the feeling that Savoie isn’t going to be on the list for Team Canada

One point about The Cozens Line being on the ice for Mac Kinnon Second Goal which made it 4-2. There was a line change happening just before the goal, Cozens stepped onto the ice at 8:12 when Makar had already entered the Sabres Zone with the puck and the MacKinnon scored at 8:07.

Aaron Dell in net for the Sharks

UPL in net

I wouldn’t play VO over Krebs, they are actually worse 5v5 with VO out there Agree on Mitts Krebs has proven himself capable at the AHL Level with a ppg, I need Him to get 20 consistent games in the NHL before making that decision. Okposo won’t be re-signed after this season. Dahlin will be Captain, with Cozens and Tuch wearing As Pilut has better metrics then Bryson, so agree there as well Gibson wouldn’t waive to come to the Sabres, which is a huge favor to the team it appears based on His Play this season. Once Levi is signed, I imagine they will seek out a better partner for Comrie. UPL can go to Cincy. Kinda hoping that Winnipeg takes a step back and they can re-unite the that tandem in Buffalo

The Third Line should be Asplund-Krebs-and a rotation of Hinostronza/Mitts/VO This should be a run for the bus game for the Sharks. Coming off a back to back and the final game of a road trip.

Oliver Nadeau and Josh Bloom say Hi

Myers cleared waivers

Any team that loses their Two 2 C will be in trouble as You mentioned. Going from playing third and fourth line match ups to First and Second Line ones is a recipe for disaster. Not to mention that the existing roles will be filled with 13th or 14th Forwards or AHL level talent They are very happy with Kulich’s Development as well

Fans in attendance at Harbocenter

No all practices are closed, unless it’s in the Harborcenter and that’s usually only when the Arena is being used for another event

And Jiri Kulich

Bloom with the Hat Trick tonight

That was the first rough game that the Cozens Line had from an expected goal for percentage, but putting Krebs in between Mittelstadt and Olofsson took that line from 15% the past few games to almost 90% tonight.

Holy crap Jokiharju
