Kyle loves the game and he seemed to be a part of this turn around. If this is another concussion he needs to seriously consider his health now and in the future and make informed decisions. The LTIR decision would greatly help the Sabres for the next few years. There would be money for Dahlin and Reinhart plus. The possibility of making hockey trades for talent while taking on salary would exist as well.

Granato deserves to be considered simply because of the rejuvenation I have seen and the growth of the young guys. I worry about a Julien, Boudreau, Babcock or Gallant coming in and giving ice time to Eakin types because they can “rely” on the vets.

Look at this goalie if he is available past the second round. https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/475275/benjamin-gaudreau

Buffalo has the chance to be a major spoiler here and they are gaining some confidence. There is no need to grip the sticks tightly as the streak is over and they are not in the hunt. Dash the Bruins’ playoff hopes and show them that they lost the trade!

Could he be a speedier Patrice Bergeron?

A centre spine of Eichel, Cozens and Mittelstadt is young but could be a handful for other teams next year. I know Asplund is playing well on Mitts’ wing but he could be a solid 4C. Bury Eakin.

I like Lundell as well, he sounds like a scaled down Barkov. R2 scored 27 points in 19 games in his last season in Liiga, that’s tearing it up.

Married to Carrie Underwood?

Rangers won tonight, only two points behind the Bruins.

Bruins are not making a deep run this year. There are many other teams more impressive than them.

My head says Tampa while my heart says Colorado.

Sad to see Lazar go, he cared. Hall was probably only going to get a 2nd. Let’s keep playing better and beat these guys a few times and dash their playoff hopes, showing them what Hall really is. Bjork needs to revive his career, hope is all I’ve got.

That was probably the difference between a second and a third.

The Krueger anchor.

Irwin playing forward with Eakin, that should generate some offense.

Tokarski looks like an 80’s goalie, tiny and scrambling around.

Sick Mitts, nice forecheck by Asplund.

Eakin with a Forsberg type hit, his best play in months.

Okposo should have drilled Hughes instead of poke checking. Kid weighs about 160.

Hands and feet are too far from the brain.

Stay out of the f....ing box!!!

Wide open VO, Joker with a nice pass. Nice to see him regain some confidence.

I would do this trade but seriously try to re-sign Linus. The Leafs are a contender and it would hurt to see them win with this deal pushing them over the top.

Asplund has been playing well. Looks good on the wing with Mitts. This guy was drafted as a C and could be 4C or even a 3C option down the road if needed.

Islanders get Palmieri and Zajac from the Devils for two prospects, a first and a fourth.
