Power is plugged in !!!!

Tage had a good look and didn’t fire.

Pay attention to family. You just missed “my network has gone kaput!”, Nothing happening here

Tuch played that wrong. Now he has to go another shift.

Good PK. Looks like we are skating with these guys. Ready for more good road hockey.

Interesting. They know him, he knows them. Knowing the opponent is an advantage but it doesn't replace execution.

Why do you think that? That is just not what Granato is all about. Comrie gets the start to play against his former team, hopefully setting him up to play a strong game (see Tage in St Louis on Tuesday). I want to see Comrie play well and push UPL, it benefits the team. Plus he is going to be around next year so hopefully he finds another level and can be a 1B, not a 2.

He has a team on the rise and challenging for a playoff spot, with a decent cache of prospects, while operating on the cap floor so he has moved more efficiently than the last two GMs.

Makes sense. Trading a goal scorer and acquiring a goal score that is bigger and plays with more presence.

Then pass. If we acquire Meier I assume we put him on LE with Cozens and move Peterka where? Oloffsson scores more. Girgs plays a better defensive game. It doesn’t look like a KA move

Replace Bryson of course. Add size and mobility. Either get another 5/6 to pair with Looby, or get a 4 for Power and move then Joker to 3rd pair with Looby. The later would be a very strong unit. Bryson goes to 7. Clague to Rochester.

More recent data. We got Tuch, Krebs, a protected 1, and a 2 for Eichel. 3 equivalent 1’s plus a 2, and we sent a pick back with Eichel too. If Meier is 75% of Eichel, then they should get approx 2 equivalent 1’s and a 2 . Not 3 equivalent 1’s Östlund or Rosen, a protected 2023 # 1, and next years 2 should be ok. His contract is another problem that should favor us in negotiating them down.

Nice GDT start. Most all of my Canadian friends mock Winnipeg as very cold and kind of boring. They don’t think much of Buffalo either. Good to hear another perspective. Would love to get out of there with another 2 points. Is Comrie playing tonight?

Sure, one piece can hurt, two pieces can hurt, but not all 3. This years #1, Quinn, and Kulich is three first round pieces. Quinn and Kulich are already looking like they will be very good NHL players. Meir makes too much money on top of that. I just read his agent is Claude Lemueix. Another factor against us in the negotiations.

No way would I do that trade.

The did defend the lead and they won the game. Calm down, they are a young team and a work in progress. They just came off a game the night before.

I am not sure that any of Cozens 3 goals came from playing on the Kid line. Yesterday's EN goal was a PK goal. The OT Dallas goal was with Tage and Dahlin. He did get the first goal of the game vs the Ducks and was assisted by Boosh and Dahlin. Not sure what line he was on at the time. Cozens is getting goals and points on any line and on the PP/PK. I suspect he would be over 20 goals already if he played on another line.

Several times he took a shove after the whistle while skating back to the bench for a line change. They were goading Peterka, but not Quinn. Maybe JJP talks trash out there?

I saw Peterka several times away from the play "getting involved". It looked more like a few Blues players either didn't care for him, or they just wanted to put fear into him, or maybe get a fight just to do something (just like their coach used to do). It didn't work, and at the time we were all over them and he probably did not want to do something to inspire the Blues team which at that point looked like big gold pylons compared to the Sabres. I can see JJP is getting close to answering the bell. Like Dahlin finally did last season, and then Krebs this season, I think JJP is going to snap one day. But keep in mind these 3 players are not ever going to be fighters, but they do need to make it known and established around the league that they wont take that crap either.

I see those vibes as humor. I like Duffer.

I like his game. He is an upgrade and he fits in on the ice and in the locker room.

Yes, he should start in Rochester and if looks good he could be the first call up. I do not understand why he would not want to join this team and play for DG.

Probably not smart for him to push the puck out and into play when he is taken out of the play and they have the extra attacker, but yes, the call was baffling and could have cost us the game.

Then that was really inconsistent. They could have called roughing, or cross check, or even holding, on the Blues for that play as well.

Yes, I recall him taking the body. Could not see the details of the scrum. Would love it if he gets a consistent nasty edge.
