Seems fair! Maybe front load it so to allow room for another Dahlin extension and expiring rookie contracts for our prospects?

IDK, I'd be okay with Anderson coming back next season. We would have to give up a lot to get an upgraded goalie and I'm not sure it would be worth it.

Great game...this team could be a major "spoiler" in the remaining games against other so-called playoff teams! No opponent should assume Buffalo will be an easy 2 points as they jockey for playoff position.

Feels like we're still on the outside looking in...I guess we'll see what happens in early July next. The "nothing burger" we got today has no taste.

Bob Corkum, where are you when we need you! 🙃

Mitts up the gut!

Hope Tuch is okay...another hard impact, this time the boards.

Krebs got dumped in the offensive zone, but sprung up and showed nice hustle getting back to defend.

He's an <30 aged RHD with an otherwise decent +/- history before coming to Buffalo. If we trade him, would be great if GMKA could do a "Darcy Regier" and get a first rounder like Darcy got for Paul Gaustad 10 years ago (I know Goose was a center vs. RHD). Realistically though, I'd guess a 3rd round in 2022 or a 2nd round in 2023.

Vegas beat Florida last night, but Eichel got hurt in the second (hand/arm) blocking a shot. Didn't play in the 3rd...no idea how long he is out, but once again the injury curse has returned.

Late game last night, but the Knights managed to beat the Panthers. Something of note, Eichel sustained an "upper body injury" during the game. He blocked a shot with his right hand/arm late in the second. He finished the 2nd, but did not play in the 3rd. No idea if he's going to be out for any games or not, but his injury curse continues.

Go back to using WOOD sticks....at least when on the PK

Kind of takes me back 30 years when the names were Gretzky and Messier.

Good to see Miller back in the lineup tonight....I know he's a UFA, but part of me would not mind having him back (if he could be re-signed with a reasonable contract). He had one especially bad season with Buffalo, but otherwise he has been fairly neutral from a +/- standpoint on other teams. Being a RHD on a third pairing would be okay with me.

Agree, would like to see a legit power forward type player on each scoring line. Saw Comtois play a little earlier this week...saw bits of speed, good hands and vision. If given a chance to swap with VO, I would make that deal.

I've taken in some of their recent games. The quality scoring opportunities seem to be heavily weighted to the Eichel line, meaning if you can defend them well, then there is not a wealth of secondary scoring right now. Also, Max Pacioretty has been hurt and that along with Stone being out really hurts their firepower. Goaltending has not been a strength as well. Maybe a .500 team for a while.

BTO song (You ain't seen nothing yet)...."You know, you know, you know you just ain't seen nothin' yet"

I agree with the first statement....Eichel does not consistently push the pace. I've taken in some VGK games lately and Jack still "floats" considerably in his game. Once in a while, he will drive the action with the puck, but more often than not he is simply gliding around with his stick in the air. Yes he is still a strong puck handler and passer, but imagine if he played every shift with intensity and a high motor? He simply doesn't do that, despite his gifts.

Blue Jackets 5, VGK 4....Eichel with a PP goal early in the 3rd.

So, in the limited sample size to date....does his game remind you more of dad (Kjell) or Ulf (unrelated)? Or a combination of both?

Skinner looks like he's having fun again! Ralph Krueger might be the absolute worst coach in Sabres' history.

Hoping to see Dahlin and Cozens continue to build strength and mass in the off-season...imagine them with another 10 or 15 lbs. of muscle and how that might add to their games.

Love that Cozens is staying around the rink!

The Vegas win and this game have been the most fun 2 game stretch in years!

Bye Bye Bunting!
