Or trade him. Getting anything for an asset you were going to get nothing for is a win. I liked Pilut. He could be a depth piece or a stud in the AHL if he agreed to that. He wants out of Russia for obvious reasons. He has no choice but to return to Buffalo if he wants to play here.

Anyone know if this means he wants them to interview with the Sabres or not?

You are focused on the testing. It is the interview process that is much more meaningful.

Neither team is capable of shutting it down defensively. It could be a record setting series offensively.

This is not surprising. Jerry Forton in his interview was not happy with organization Rosen was with in Sweden and that they didn’t have a direct farm team to send Rosen to so he could develop.

You don’t see many playoff games where both goalies are replaced. the Oilers are like watching Gretzky, Mess, Kurri, Anderson, Coffey and the gang all over again.

Rosen has blazing speed and a sniper’s shot. Needs to put on weight and strength.

Kukkonen did. But you have to remember that you can only have 50 contracts so you don’t want to waste one on a player that you don’t see any future in.

From Lance Lysowskis article: “The AHL will be a significant adjustment for Rosen. In addition to the smaller ice surface, he will need to learn how to create offense in a more physical, chaotic game. There will be opportunity to learn and develop, especially if Quinn and Peterka make the Sabres’ roster out of training camp. Rosen can play top-six minutes and special teams. If both join the Sabres, Appert will still have prospects to coach, including Rosen, Kisakov, Lukas Rousek, Linus Weissbach and Brandon Biro. But if Peterka or Quinn are back in Rochester to start the season, the Sabres have a way to ensure Rosen can still develop and receive the necessary playing time. A source told The News that Rosen has a clause in his contract that allows him to be loaned back to a team in Sweden before December if he's not playing enough. The move can be made if Rosen needs a top-six opportunity.” Seems like they are bringing him over to develop.

Well Anaheim have iced an awful team. That is where the analytics dept and Bales would have to come into play. Are his numbers caused by the team or has his play fallen off.

Use a first +Johnson + to aquire Gibson or sign a UFA goalie to be the starter next year: Kuemper, Campbell, Husso, etc. Or sign two goalies to create a tandem: Desmith+Comrie They need new, competent blood in the crease next season in order to make a meaningful step forward. You can have all the young guys you want progressing but if you are fishing the puck out of your net constantly it doesn’t mean squat.

Those guys really love Nazar more then all the other scouts.

Message boards where every trade or signing would be a disaster. Zadorov-Gudbransen would be fine as a third pair defensive pairing. Keep it simple, kill penalties. They had good chemistry together. Probably won’t happen anyways but they are ahead of where Manson is right now.

As a few mentioned, just sign the Zadorov-Gudbransen pair as a 3rd pairing. The “we need big physical guys” crowd would be happy. Add a goalie and you are good to go.

Or did he mean talks about whether they should graduate JJ and Quinn. Talks about keeping R2.

Great tournament for Canada and Cozens. Almost the immaculate comeback but that ref my oh my. Watching Tompkins play net makes me angry all over again about Levi and the Olympics Dahlin has already arrived but let’s hope this was a big springboard for Cozens and Asplund to pull“A Tage” next year.

Why is Dubois a cancer?

The smiley was for trading for Dubois to run a Krebs Dubois Cozens line. Cozens has been full value so far. He looks like he will be a playoff warrior when that day comes.

If Bergeron retires and Marchand is out for the first half of the year then Boston might be in trouble.

Or pair him with Krebs and Dubois😁 Maybe he is. I haven't Watched Finland play.

6-1 Canada win. Cozens with 2 goals and assist. Cozens named one of the 3 top players for Canada for the tournament. Cozens, Dahlin, Asplund all won best players for their teams. Great tournament for development. Cozens vs Joker for Gold tomorrow

TSN in Canada

4-1 Canada after 2 periods. Cozens-Dubois-Batherson just toy with the opposition when they are on the ice.

You are so stuck on this 2 years and then he walks. You don’t know that. It doesn’t even need to be Nylander. They have to spend $20 million to get to the floor. Sign a goalie, sign a dman and trade for an impact forward. Quite easy and improves the team drastically.

It will be a really interesting offseason in Calgary. That was not the way they expected their season to end. Gaudreau, Tkachuk and other need new deals. Markstrom crapped the bed against Edmonton. Will have to see how it all plays out.
