For what it is worth, I want them to keep Sam. Previous management let his contract slide but if he wants to stay KA needs to sign him.

Yeah, no GM whisperer at the top either. Navigating your first trade deadline by yourself can be like sailing the Suez Canal in a windstorm.

I want to keep Ullmark but have a serious upgrade to Toker. We need someone in the 1B category who can challenge Linus and not miss a beat when he’s out. UPL may be that guy in a couple of years but they need someone for about two years.

Sam was drafted as a centre after having a lot of success at that position in junior. He has not been given a fair shot at it at the NHL level. He is a good playmaker and positionally smart enough to be effective as a 2C. Having enough talented wingers for him and Jack will be an important off season move or two. Let Cozens and Mitts battle it out for 3C with the loser playing wing. Lazar is a competent 4C and we have a semblance of a centre spine.

I am no Rutherford fan but the guy has won 3 of the last 15 Cups with two different organizations. I think he has a better hockey mind than all of the combined Pegulas.

I would prefer seeing R2.

Michelin Man suit!

At least he is not very physical, reducing the chances of injury.

I view him as Cirelli light. He put up some good numbers in junior and decent stats in the AHL. From Oakville, not too far from Buffalo. I take a stab at him.

This list has Goalie Ben Gaudreau as a first rounder (29). He is a local kid that I’ve watched play minor hockey. Pretty good G at the junior level. Someone to look at if the Sabres have a few 2nd round picks.

Cool site.

Button has some good info but this is a big list to try and organize. He has Rossi at 30 even though he has battled COVID-19 and only played one game. Abruzzese, a Leafs guy is 67th and hasn’t played a game this season. Leafs bias to get more eyeballs on his story.

Dahlin way more confident.

Not quite Premier league material.

Hall with grit too. Trade value rising!

Mitts showing some grit. Dahlin/Joker pairing good so far.

Asplund is playing like an NHLer.

Tokarski is a scrambler, not giving me a warm fuzzy feeling.

Interesting to watch Reinhart playing a 200 foot game. He is doing OK.

Looking good boys. Crashing the net, cycling well. Who are these guys?

Secondary scoring is on fire! I guess we have no primary scoring this year anyway.

I want to see Dahlin and Jokiharju play well again and regain some confidence.

The rumours I am hearing about the OHL is 24 games in 48 days. That would give teams a view at the only development league not playing, but a pretty small window.

Interesting. I have a friend who knows Hunter and he says he recently interviewed for the Penguins GM job. Built a successful junior franchise. Was an assistant to Lou with the Leafs.

He was having a decent season plus he is a hard working player than can plug any hole in the bottom 6. Time for Arttu to get his shot.
