We need vets with toughness now for 3rd and 4th line and 5th or 6th D. Evident after being pushed around yesterday. Greenway needed to fight someone yesterday and play much meaner. Where was tuch? He is soft. Need some toughness

100 out of 100 GM's pick dahlin with no hesitation.

Thompson is proving to be a winger. He is not an elite anything except goal scorer when: healthy and center of power play. Cozens has a ways to go to to play as well as last year let alone be an elite center. Some of the guys listed are not elite centers

What is your specialty?

None of the three mentioned as our top centers have proven to be a very good center over a long period of time. TT should be winger but we are stuck with skinner where TT should be. Cozens has a chance to prove he is a center and recent play is encouraging. Mitts is not a center. Too slow. A new coach who enforces a disciplined style of play could save Cozens. Johnson, is not nor never will be top 4 type d. Not physical, average skater, ok puck mover. Does nothing above average. Comparing him to garbage of joker and Bryson anyone will look good. He should be in Rochester with orders to play physical.

he has not been on the defensive side of the red line in 5 years.

he has never been the best payer on his team. Not even a top 30 at any point in the NHL. He is now 3rd best player on his line.

If one of the writers is Mike Harrington we are not lucky...

how much money did he walk away from?

HE is kind of player we need in bottom 6. I really want Kyle and Zemgus to move on or retire.

i like it. 50 more won draws is equal to a point. Or not. There needs to be a third category for draws. Call it a push draw. No one wins the draw cleanly and it is battled for by rest of players. It would really show you who the best are and the results. A draw won puts you in great position for rest of shift. For teams like sabres with a couple of elite d-man it is worth more.

Why would either agree to this? Adams loses power or keeps it? Karmanos gets a title with same duties where adams is in charge? If job is offered which is a big if, he will take it. Fenway might want to make a splash and go for female GM to take eyes off how bad team is.

Every coach in this league and any other league will disagree with you on faceoffs. Hockey today is about holding puck and creating offense. Free possession on a faceoff is gold.

Hard to judge KRebs. Girgensons and okposo are too slow, not physical and without any offensive creativity. Krebs is a great passer. No one he played with could take advantage of that. He forechecks hard and smart, but will need some speed/toughness on his wings. As a 3rd line center he could flourish with the right wingers. Replacing Girg and O with a combo of speed and physical players will help krebs immensely. Our bottom 6 needs an injection of toughness and speed. We were an easy team to play against.

your idea: Let's not play someone who needs to play. A Lot. Instead pay big price to bring in someone who will play most games. It will be years to see if Levi is a good goalie or a not. That is your suggestion?
