JJ Tage Tuch Benson Cozens Quinn (if Cozens can’t get going with two wingers like Benson and Quinn then cut bait with the guy) find a way to get out from Skinner. the fourth line should be a physical defensive line. The third line is the key for me. I think they need some offence on that line as well as physicality. If they can have 3 scoring lines and a shutdown physical 4th line that is how Lindy had success before. I don’t know if anyone on the team right now is a fit for that third line. If they can target a team with cap issues and see if you can pry a Karlsson or Cirelli or Lundell via trade or look at a Stephenson or Monahan in ufa to anchor that line. Then find another winger that has some size, physicality and can score and see if one of Savoie, Kulich or Rosen can play the other wing. I think Greenway can be an effective 4th liner. They need a really strong faceoff guy to anchor the 4th line. Then round it out with a guy that flies all around the ice and loves to get physical in the forecheck. A Carrier type. I think in a couple years that Östlund and Wahlberg will be good 3rd liners for them but it is about winning right now.

It’s amazing in this 13 year run that the Sabres have never moved up once in all these lotteries.

Here is Adams answer on WGR: On the draft lottery - Barring a surprise lottery victory the 11th pick is absolutely on the table as a trade piece. Knows how valuable it is and how it can help the team get better now. The goal before was to build up the pipeline but their commitment to that in the past gives them added flexibility this year.

I just stopped by hfboards and😳 A guy proposed Marner, Reilly and a 1st for Dahlin and Krebs and a Leafs fan responded that they wouldn’t trade Reilly for Dahlin straight up😁🤣

Bruins now 5-0 vs the Panthers this season.

Yes, Gods that get car jacked. The comment is just as cringy to the Leaf fanbase here in Toronto. They might not be able to move Marner or Tavares if both refuse to go this summer.

Yeah and Byram is a Stanley Cup champion. They can get a middle 6 centre.

Absolutely 😃

Saskatoon😃 and yes it has been a great series. Hopefully Moose Jaw can pull out Game 7

I don’t get Travis Green to Ottawa at all. Oh Well

Celebrini is a good one. Man did McKenna explode at the U18s can’t believe that kid is 2 years away from being drafted. I still would like to see the Sabres trade the pick if it isn’t a lottery win. If they don’t trade it and stay at 11 I could see Senneke or Helenius being the guy. I think Iginla goes top 10. Not sure which dman will fall but that could be an option as well.

No playoffs for 13 years is awful but Leafs fans experience over that time might be worse.

I was in Belleville two years ago when Murray scored the OT winner to win that series. He seems to have a clutch flare for the dramatic.

It is like any sport. If you have got the body and tools then you will get multiple chances because there will be teams that think they can fix you in their system with their coaching.

Who is better: UPL who will be better: I think Levi Do I care: No, if they are both good then the Sabres are in great shape

LOL I watched the series with all my Leafs fan buddies. I feel a bit of their pain😝

I still call Toronto and offer Skinner for Marner to see if they are desperate enough to bite. Marner probably waves to Buffalo as it is so close for one season before UFA. Skinner waves to Toronto. One year of Marner is worth getting out of 3 years of Skinner. I don’t think Toronto does it but it would be a nice solution.

The same spot that Dahlin and Cozens teamed up on that play to tie the Bruins late in the game last season.

It was a tough series for the Leafs. I think they deserved better. Nylander was hurt the first half of the series, Matthews the second half. Finally found a reliable goalie in Woll and he is injured for Game 7. Both goals were bad by Samsonov. Marner has to go. Tavares they will let walk in UFA after next year. Their PP was 1 for 21 which is unbelievable with that talent they have. Nylander was their best player when healthy, Domi and Knies were very good too. 8 years as a group, 1 playoff series win. I don’t think Keefe can be back either. Boston was right there for the taking. They can’t create offence to save their lives.

I wouldn’t touch Dubois if he was free. Absolute no effort cancer. He is exactly what the Sabres don’t want to be. LA knew this when he pushed his way out of Columbus to Winnipeg and played his way out of there. Imagine trading prime assets for a 25 year old 6’3, 220 pound centre, signing him to an 8 year big money deal and considering buying him out after a single season and taking a 14 year cap hit.

I would have Kulich and #11 pick on the table for the right piece. Either a long term partner for Power or a top 6 forward with some physicality to his game.

You can have a conversation without the obnoxious attitude mixed in. But you stick with that if it helps you get through your day.

Who is he? I just saw the tweet and thought it was interesting but I have no idea who that guy is.
