The trade was made and now the Sabres have a Mitts sized hole in the forward ranks and maybe....? an improvement on defense. Makes no sense.
TT: 0.68 ppg, 26 y/o
Cozens: 0.59 ppg, 23 y/o
Mitts: 0.55 ppg, 25 y/o
Where is there room for Mitts?

One more year for Krebs sure, but not if you are relying on him to be the 3C without a legit back up plan. You can sign him, have him show up to camp and EARN a spot on the team, but he can't be penciled in to the lineup in any way.
Bryam...not enough of a sample size on this team for me to say for sure how good I think he is. But I don't think he was better than Power since the trade happened. Power I thought was vastly over-rated on this board last year, and he struggled the first half of this season. However, I think Power played very VERY well the last month or two. I'm not so sure I'd say Byram is better, or even matched Power's play toward the end of the year.
It's partly to boost his trade value. He won't be serving anyone by sitting in Rochester. He would need to be traded to contribute if he proves he isn't NHL caliber this year.
Byram was a crucial piece in the Avs cup run. That alone makes him a high caliber player.

So are you looking to give Krebs first crack at 3C this year? He’s your guy for game 1?
Byram wasn’t even CLOSE to as good as Power was, I don’t think we’ll be able to see eye to eye on evaluation here
“Move the extras for a top 4 D”
yes, our scraps that we don’t want will fetch a player as good or better than our 1C did…doesn’t seem very realistic tbh
Krebs at present belongs in Rochester. This season determines if he ends up there or not. He needs some time at 3C so we can make that call.
We need a vet 3C who can step into 2C if Cozens regresses. Stephenson or Monahan are our guys.
In any case, we have a logjam at Defense. We could use a Top 4 RHD and 2/3C. We have a ton of picks/prospects to leverage as well.

Maybe a 40-50 game trial for Krebs next year on the menu? He should get a development year in the role
(On a side, more straightforward note: if we dealt our leading centre for a D-man and still need a top 4 D man the trade was a failure)
One more year before we ship Krebs.
Byram trade wasn't a failure because we got a Top 4 Dman. Byram is much better than Joker, RJ, Clifton, and Samuelsson. I think he's a solid step and a half over Power also.
Now we have to move the extras for another Top 4 Dman.
Mitts isn’t the top 6 centre we thought we needed. He can and will (Adams..) be replaced.
-
Byram >> Mitts.
We still need a Top 4 RHD, and if Krebs doesn't work out at 3C, we need to procure a good one quickly.

$5.5M AAV x 7 years.
That would be a steal.

You see, the government doesn't "ask" for your money.
They take it. Plain and simple.

I saw a couple hits by Clifton that seemed a little extra IYKWIM, but I never got the license plate of who he hit.
Is he done beating his wife?
Charges dropped.
Back in business.

Time to sign Lucic

I’m in for signing Stephenson but he doesn’t even have a letter in Vegas.
He lit it up in the playoffs last year. I think he's deserving.
Plus he has 2 Cups.

Jacob Bryson is playing really good hockey. In my books he's in our top 6. Last I heard, our record with him in the lineup is well into the plus side. Advanced stats have him up there. Here's are my D pairings for next year, emphasizing competition to stay in the lineup.
Byram-Dahlin
Samuelson-Power
Bryson-Joki
Johnson-Clifton
The 5 to 8 D should be a competition all year. If you're good, you play, if not you don't. But right now, Bryson plays.
Edit: inserted 5 on 5 relative ExGf%
Why do we have 8 D?
One of Joker/Bryson/Clifton has to go.
Imo It should be:
RJ - Clifton
Bryson
Joker sold.
We should've traded him before the deadline. Now I don't know what KA is going to do.
-
So we're looking like:
Skin - TT - Tuch
Quinn - Cozens - JJP
Greenway - Krebs - Rosen
Robinson - Girgs - Rousek
Byram - Dahlin
Power- Mule
RJ - Clifton
UPL - Comrie
---
Basically if TT, Tuch, Cozens, and Skinner don't play like they did last year whilst keeping the goals against down, we're finishing 25th again.
Cmon KA... do better.

Sign Chandler Stephenson and give him the C.
Tuch and Dahlin get an A.
-
If we had dealt VO, we could've retained Skinner 100% for the season to get him out of here.
KA's deadline grade = B+.
B for getting Byram, and + for getting something from EJ/KO.
- for keeping Skinner, VO, Girgs, and Joker/Clifton.

We were never going to pay Mitts top dollar to play 3C. Especially considering how awful our Defensemen are. Mitts could wing, but with Skinner, Tuch, JJP, and Quinn, why bother?
Byram > Power >>> RJ, Clifton, Joker, Mule, Bryson.
Having competent defensemen is more important than having skilled forwards. Dmen play more minutes in all situations.
You build the roster from the net out.
