I think the Jost pickup sealed his future in Buffalo. Jost is better and is an NHL C. Asplund just couldn’t score enough to claim a spot on the wing. He didn’t block Quinn, JJP and was a good soldier. I liked him and it’s too bad we lose his versatility but Greenway is something they need and a different skill set. Good luck in Nashville.

I like KO and his leadership is great but he is the first forward I would replace. His feet are slower, his hands have never been great and he is not getting open to use his shot. His best move now is pinning the puck along the boards to kill time on the odd PK.

Jost would have provided insight on that exact point. Greenway is too young to be washed up. He just fell out of favour with the coach or couldn’t find a role in the changes. Guerin wanted much needed cap space. Greenway is from Canton NY, does that provide a bit of a Tuch vibe?

Krebs grows 3 inches with this guy on his wing.

A little help would be appreciated, right?

Retired.

A trade can also be a wake up call. This guy was not cutting it and he’s gone. We expect more so step up or get out of the way.

Whatever happens here with the goalie situation, (still hoping for Saros), the 3 goalie thing should not carry into next year. It takes a spot on the roster for a D or F and I find it takes away from a rhythm of having a 1A/1B or 1 and 2.

This is what I’ve been telling non Sabres fans. Tuch being out can be sustained for a while, Dahlin being out cannot. Dahlin coming back soon, there is a chance. The drop off from Tuch to Quinn to VO to KO to Vinny affects performance but not as much as Dahlin’s 28 minutes of Norris calibre hockey. Power is trying but he is a 20 year old rookie. Mule cannot generate any offense, Joker is overmatched with top pairing minutes and the rest get caved in.

I’ve got TSN on for background noise. Bruce Boudreaux is part of the crew, telling stories. He’s got some stories. I think most of the big trades have happened. The dominoes started falling over a week ago.

Bettman is a big part of that s**tshow. He just doesn’t want to admit any guilt.

Yeah, they were done after the empty netter.

Only 8 President’s Trophy winners have won the Cup in almost 40 years.

Hard to expect a win without Dahlin and Tuch. Bruins feed said they are missing Taylor Hall so they are shorthanded too.

F**k. Exposing our defense again.

Boston feed showed a hit from Boosh earlier that the Rat whined about.

Good pressure, some puck luck would’ve helped.

Jack Edwards is a Masshole homer but he is also a terrible PxP guy.

Marchand will not return for the 3rd.

Stillman is OK so far, Bryson needs to sit. I’m almost done with VO. He is frustrating to watch, soft and not scoring. UPL is good tonight, I still want Saros.

Done.

Eastern arms race is nearly over. Most teams have spent their ammo. KA is still in on something. He is moving at a glacial pace but things are heating up. Still a day to go. Saros rumour is a good one. Do it!

Savoie is now 5th in WHL scoring. He was around 20th a month ago.

It starts tonight.

Saros would solve the goaltending issue immediately. Fabbro has more upside than Bryson/Clague, plus he is a RHD. I could get on board with this and I doubt KA would overpay since he is glacially patient. This would be a shot at all of the other teams competing for the WC spot, as a goalie like him is a game changer. It may even scare a team like the Bruins. I also like the Levi mentor angle, a lot.
