Here is my controversial offseason take. IF the Leafs need to move Nylander for cap I would take a run at him. I would have him play centre with Asplund and VO as a 2nd line. He is coming into his own and will not be a centre in Toronto. Point per game player last year and the Leafs best playoff player the past 2 seasons. I would offer to take Mrazek as part of the deal and put him in Rochester. They want cap space and a young dman that can play. I’m not giving up Quinn, JJ, Krebs etc. I would offer #16 and Joker for Nylander and Mrazek. Would throw in Portillo as a sweetener if needed. I then sign a couple UFA RHD that are defensively responsible and can add some grit. Willy is not his brother and has a good rep as a teammate. I think he would fit in well in the room and would breakout even more as a centre here.

Good run and great development for the kids. They played hard for what they had as a lineup. Quinn was snake bitten. He had chances but couldn’t bury. He will learn from it. JJ and Krebs were fantastic throughout the playoffs. Too bad Muel and UPL couldn’t play any games. R2 made a case for himself but I don’t know where he would fit on the Sabres.

Hopefully UPL can go Wednesday. Switch it up. I can’t watch Dell anymore.

This game is over. Game 3 is over and the Sabres have been eliminated from next year’s playoffs. Try to keep up.😜😀

Dell makes Every Single Shot look like it is going to go in. My God.

Pounding drinks at the arena an hour early, SOLID!! Let’s Go Amerks!

I have never seen a goalie get beat as many times off of face offs as Dell. I don’t know if he loses his angles or what but every time there is a defensive face off I cringe.

It looks like Quinn is slowly coming out of his funk. He is getting more chances and hopefully buries one to get him going. It is great to see Krebs, JJ, Quinn etc getting this experience as well as Cozens coming on at the Worlds.

I have to admit that I do love watching Cozens and Dubois playing together at the Worlds. That would be a long term playoff line. If you knew what Dubois would want on a long term deal then I would definitely consider it.

9-6 with Chris Cuthbert doing the play by play. They took a time machine back to the 1980s and I loved it!😀

What did they offer up in the trade?

Calgary are making up for all the goals they couldn’t against Dallas. This could be a 10-8 1980s special

I called them and told them you weren’t impressed. They said to hold their beers.😁

It’s not going to happen unless Calgary get up by 4 or 5 late.

It is 3-1 less then 10 minutes in. What are you talking about?

No, nothing yet. It is a big ring here. Steal/ carjack high end cars and ship them overseas where they sell for good money.

The thought has always been that playoffs are big boy hockey. Big, skilled players make the difference. NHL front offices believe that. That is why I think both Gauthier and Geekie will be picked before #9.

Pronman’s mock draft has the Sabres taking Savoie at #9 and Yurov at #16.

DeBoer is a jerk. One of the talking heads said MAF wouldn’t go back to Vegas because of DeBoer. He was canned because someone had to take the fall and it was either Pete or Foley would can McPhee or McCrimmon. Also, Isles promotes Lane Lambert to Head Coach. Weird that he has been Trotz’s right hand man for 11 years and they boot Trotz and promote him.

Ah, so if Gaudreau walks. That could make sense but Mangiapane is a big part for them and Nylander is the anthesis of Daryl Sutter hockey. But if he bought in it might work.

Why would Calgary do that?

Alexander Holtz, The Utica winger picked one spot before Quinn, is having a very similar series.
