It might not be that he’s sure they have enough in the top 6, but rather the acknowledgment we need supplementation elsewhere, regardless. Adding a top 6 would put is on a real good spot to break drought but what we’ve done at least keep it within realistic shouting distance

I have him on the second line currently. But I’m running a more balanced set up. I also have this weird idea about shifting Quinn to C (as I’ve heard he’s played there before) and running the best bottom 6 in hockey, if we add someone like Ehlers Peterka - Thompson - Tuch Benson - Cozens - Ehlers Zucker - Quinn - Greenway/Krebs Malenstyn - McLeod - Aube-Kubel …all 4 lines could potentially eat. 4th would feast

It’s funny, I checked elite prospects after he said that, and of course Benson also has “C” listed haha.

Yes I mentioned Greenway in a post just now but you got there first. I see what you are saying If we trade Dahlin…

And the first 30/40 ish goosebumps

An interesting piece in this regard is Greenway. Not fast. Presumably acquired purely for Granato This is the FUNNIEST post about the trade dude lol. He’s literally explaining the mechanics of how all trades work First, we had to determine what the *hole* is. Then, they had to *identify players who filled that hole.* now, this bit is tricky. You can’t select the guys who DON’T address the holes. You have to keep your eyes on the prize 3000 likes

Beware the red X Benson? Thought he played only wing

Just thinking about it. We’d make the playoffs if we added Ehlers. Barring catastrophic injury lucky. Our bottom 6 is too solid for a top 6 with a supplemented Ehlers to miss. I know there’s no guarantees but it would put us in a REALLY good position if we pulled that off. Prospect bandaid is ripped off. Let’s just part with a liiiitle bit more and get this done. We are pot committed. It’s time, anyways. Let’s get EVERYONE excited

The only thing that matters is the result. I‘m not declaring, nor even predicting success: merely stating that if we add a top 6 F, im not sure anything else could have been expected in terms of offseason supplementation. That’s just imo

That’s a salient point I’d imagine there’s a learning curve, too camp is extra important this year

Flip the L4 wings. It wouldn’t matter but you have everyone else on their proper side so

Well said

Something very satisfying about this, too. One year. UFA at the end. Guess what? He’s still on the team. He still counts. The year exists, we aren’t “renting” it.

I’m not sure it matters, as, assuming KA is indeed on the hot seat only playoffs makes a difference, but if we add a top 6 forward, by the prism of the moment at least we’d have to commend Adams on a very strong offseason. He’ll have checked all the boxes I can see

Mostly because “Forsburg” didnt play in the nhl

You read my posts in the thread and tell me

Will think of him every time I read that name

No one is overreacting

Let’s hope Lafferty comes to camp in shape. So that holds

Trades are ok. Depends who makes them Teams will in fact trade with buffalo fin

Both of these narratives can die for all I care

Kevyn Adams sitting in a chair in the dark as the lights turn on at key bank, as Malenstyn enters the room.. ”I thought you said you wanted to be here, Beck?” It’s still unspent

Gotta get Aube-Kubel on the right and Greenway bumped up but ya

Lafferty should present reasonable competition for him he likely doesn’t surpass That’s Twitter. The responses are always opposite to the tweet

There’s certainly a LOT of “how could you do this?” On twitter, but I think this thread has a better handle on the trade time will tell
