I’m in the belief the boost from these players is what’s needed to get into the playoffs. Our goaltender is too suspect and the unprepared teams have warmed up.

Do we really have to wait half the season to bump those three up?

Sabres fan as a kid growing up. Just maybe he wants to be here 🤓

With Thompson switching to center, I like how we have four relatively young centers and none of them are expected to be gifted any particular line. There’s an interchangeable spine of: Mittelstadt Thompson Cozens Krebs (Eakin) that can move up or down based on merit. leaves us with wing pairings to shift around: Oloffson-Asplund Skinner-Tuch/Hinostroza Girgensons-Okposo Caggiula-Bjork and in the minors aching for promotion: Peterka-Quinn

Thompson has played well. Interesting nix Oloffson-Thompson-Asplund Skinner-Mittelstadt-Tuch Girgensons-Krebs-Okposo Caggiula-Cozens-Hinostroza Eakin I think Krebs needs a year or two before getting top-6

I’m glad there’s no conditions related to Eichels surgery.

The risk for Eichel is negated by the risk Tuch doesn’t stay healthy either.

We got Krebs. Tuch is a great get. 2022 is a loaded draft. Bye Eichel.

Why does Tkachuk need to be flipped?

The problem with Cozens is he has no sheltering and is thrusted into a 1C role due to injuries. Wait a week and he’s in a better situation.

A bunch of deflected goals from the point. Deflating like the Miller years. Ugly game but those bounces go both ways.

Vegas needs to shed cap to make that deal. The only way they can logistically is trade Smith and ruin their own room. Or Buffalo retains and the cost goes up. I can understand why nobody wants to budge.

Any first. Any first going elsewhere in the Eichel return is because they’re too cheap to pay out the contract. Its probably real money too related to insurance being lost if another team approves ADR

Trading a first away to another team to retain 3 mil in salary for the next handful of years coming from a cap floor team is going to result in the last Pegula holdouts turning coat

Maybe coach is dogging them in practice still? Let’s not forget we’re missing our 1C and 2D, regardless of whether you believe those players to be those roles that’s the reality. Plus whatever the Eichel trade is going to fetch.

Oh no we suck again they just looked drained. Long season

They took Beasley out of self induced quarantine and barely got their act together on offense. Not a great showing but hey it’s a win.

MUST WIN also terrible game time

Changing numbers from 15 to 9 and leaving fans in the dust with lame jerseys? At least they’re getting one last use out of them.

Vegas would have to move 5 mil just to make the trade happen. Tuch doesn’t count he’s on LTIR. Probably where the snag is from, the only player without a clause is Smith and he may not want to go to Buffalo

Parade routes

When Mittelstadt comes back Cozens should go down for a month

UPL is bust. Sunk cost fallacy let it go New shiny toy is shiny. He was passed up because he’s not 6’5” like every other failed goalie prospect.

We don’t need defense. That only becomes part of the equation to make salary work and also means we’re sending an ELC back. Our defensive pipeline is all in college. I still don’t see it. I still think for salary purposes Tuch is a piece of the puzzle. The deal is probably hung up on trying to include William Carrier in it so the hero can return home.

Let’s go back to discussing triumph instead of averageness
