1)If he can stay healthy his numbers should get better 2)He's 24 which is still young in NHL years 3)IF he does get more playing time with 2nd line players realistically his stats could go up because has better talent around him. 4)False hope for all of the above.
UPL similar to Ullmark in that sense. Sad to say I think UPL likely going to get moved this season. Hopefully we get something of value you for him see a NHL caliber player back and maybe a 3rd round draft pick.
I'm assuming you meant current players? Tough call for sure. I love Tuch and loved Mogilny yet not sure how much longer the former be with us. Ironically Peca goat head only Sabres jersey I own. I'll say Tuch but Doan and Quinn on my short list too.
There's the Jarmo connection an at 24 this kid has a chance to only get better. Yet to me his middle forward that best suited for 3rd line but looking for 2nd line minutes. Maybe with the Zucker injury we might add him but Columbus not looking for picks and not sure we have players to give.
It depends on the compensation, if we get a bottom pair Dman and top 6 forward back I'd take it. As I'll admit think Power is the poster child (next to Cozens) of guys who got paid way to early in their careers and have hurt this team more than helped.
I get we got Ellis late and he still has to get accolated to the team but I'd hope he gets in sooner than later. As Lyon has been solid but not spectacular thus far which makes him a fine backup but if we're counting him on 50-60 games to me that's a mistake.
Welp either KA has made a brilliant move and we have a goalie to pair with Levi for the next 3-4 seasons to see if one can became our #1 or we just tanked the coming season. Tough to say
