We've gone from 70 to 80 now. You haven't heard that from me. I thought (and still think) that he is their most reasonably tradeable asset, but I definitely think he belongs. Didn't mean to imply you did say that. (Apologies if it came across as directed directly at you.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Flagg Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 This is certainly preseason hockey! It's not depressing to see preseason hockey in the preseason, it's the way of the league. The only thing depressing about today is how similar it looks to Sabres regular season hockey!

Pekar should not be punished simply because his parents lived in the same country that Sobotka's did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) Casey's line < 30% possession at 5 v 5 - - - If Cozens pans out, with his speed, perhaps he'll be the better fit at 2C, and Casey could be best suited to wing in that scenario. Depending if we want one of the 3 at 3C, I guess. Edited September 18, 2019 by Thorny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been resistant to Reinhart at 2C this year but maybe they'll have to try it. Doesn't seem to be in Botterill's plans though.

Wasn't one his rookie year, isn't one now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewookie1 Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) I think Mitts needs to have some time to grow into his slightly larger size.

Zamboni Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 I think Mitts needs to develop. Just like it took (and taking) Reinhart years to develop. Just like it took VO. Just like it took (and taking) Ullmark. Just like it took McCabe. I’m not in the least worried about Mitts. He’ll get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was a little faster, I'd be fine with trying him at 2C again. But with so much of his game being making nice passes on the rush and interacting with his linemates there, that really don't want to see him primarily starting rushes 30-50 ft behind them. It will take away a lot of his value in the neutral zone & breakout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
