PerreaultForever Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 The good news is Vegas has to play the last 3 on the road, and they are much worse on the road than at home. Might all rest on the Tuesday game in Dallas. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerreaultForever Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 I know he's not all that, but sure wish we'd managed to hold onto this guy and let Bjork go instead. Would have fit in nicely with Fitz and Joker until we got another RHD. https://www.hockeyfights.com/fights/n265325 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, then I too would have been happy had we kept Borgen somehow. For anyone reading who is unaware though, it was not a choice between Borgen and Bjork. The Sabres chose the option of protecting 7 forwards and 3 defencemen (10 skaters in total: Eichel, Reinhart, Olofsson, Mittelstadt, Thompson, Asplund, Bjork, Dahlin, Joker and Risto). They had the option of protecting additional defencemen but it would have meant only being allowed to protect 8 skaters; meaning protecting Borgen would have required them to expose 3 additional forwards. Bjork for Borgen? Sure. Asplund for Borgen? Maybe, but a bad trade-off in my view. Olofsson or Mittelstadt or Thompson for Borgen? Oh my! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 The concept of Will Borgen is something that will never die around here. Guy has yet to play 50 NHL games and turns 26 this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was gonna make a positive impact he would have done it already. He’s a decent #6/7 on the depth chart on most teams. Keywords: decent and most teams.

I know how the rule worked, but I would have left Bjork unprotected, dangling him out there hoping that a team with a plethora of D men available might have grabbed the forward instead. If they'd still taken Borgen you live with it, but we didn't really have anyone else on offer worth looking at (at the time). Might also have considered trading back for him. They dumped Lauzon off for a second rounder because they had too many D men. A deal for Borgen without giving anything substantial away might have been possible. Just sayin, water under the bridge now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmel Corn Posted April 24, 2022 Report Share Posted April 24, 2022 Great game in Florida vs. Leafs, Panthers come back from 0 - 2 to win 3 - 2 in overtime. Brandon Montour with the game winning goal! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norcal Posted April 24, 2022 Report Share Posted April 24, 2022 Sigh, I hate routing for Dallas but atleast they won. Beniers put the puck in the crease with 12 seconds left but Dallas cleared it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. VGK have been hammered by injuries this year, so obviously that's impacted them this season, but the long term prognosis is kind of grim. They have an aging core, are salary cap strapped and don't have much of a prospect pool. I always kinda thought them grabbing Eichel was a Hail Mary for this season; turns out it likely is a whiff. Pretty good chance Jack is in on the ground floor of another rebuild. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow LA still pulls it out so they are looking pretty good now for 3rd. Starting to worry a little about Nashville faltering, but that Tuesday game is still going to be huge.

According to them, Lehner didn't like the criticism his play was getting and so he told them it was because of his injury and he was shutting it down for the surgery, but then the agent got in and talks happened and maybe he will dress for the next game after all. Whatever the full story, can't be good going forward. He's a moody guy, and the bright lights of Vegas seem to be getting to him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted April 24, 2022 Report Share Posted April 24, 2022 I wonder if we could get Marcus Foligno back next year. The wild only have 8 mill in cap space. Fiala alone will eat that up so they will need to clear some salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyldnwoody44 Posted April 24, 2022 Report Share Posted April 24, 2022 That you to the panthers and kings for turning my 5 bucks into 300🍺 I love me some draft kings lol. I would love to see Vegas lose tonight, I don't think they will, but that would nearly eliminate them. Vancouver was a nice story, but they just don't have it in them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted April 24, 2022 Report Share Posted April 24, 2022 The Sabres could realistically enter the draft lottery w/ no better than the 11th best odds of winning it. And if they win their last 2, difficult but doable, they'll end up with no better than the 9th best odds. Bye David Jiricek. We hardly knew ye. 😪 Wonder if the Sabres would take him at 2?

A little heart and soul toughness is just what this team could use to add to the talent of the youngsters. They love him there though, so I doubt he's a guy they'd move out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
