WildCard Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 The deal for Eichel is finally done, and this is the main piece. Whether or not Krebs pans out will be huge for the Sabres, lets get to know him a little better...and by that I mean @LGR4GM @rakish somebody else, tell us about Krebs.

Flashsabre Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 Krebs is a high character kid. Always wearing a letter, usually the captaincy. High end wheels and extremely high smarts/ hockey sense. If he reaches his potential I would say a fast skating Sam Reinhart. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuch has that reputation as well. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASabresIUFAN Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 Krebs was the leading scoring for Canada on the same U18 team with Cozens. At the U-20 last he was third behind Cozens the following season on a loaded team that included Quinn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
French Collection Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 Krebs and Cozens know each other well from the WHL and Team Canada teams. Krebs would have gone higher in his draft year if he wasn’t injured. He is no Eichel but projects as a solid forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 Holy *****. Krebs is starting in the defensive zone 61% of the time. His PDO is 91 which will regress hard at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apuszczalowski Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 I'm sure the Sabres aren't the only ones to ever get Krebs from Vegas..... He does seem to be all about money though, wonder if he forces the Pegulas to sell Krabby patties in the arena now? 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SabresBillsFan Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 VGK and Sabres fan here Krebs is going to be a solid NHLer. He’s a playmaker who hustles but I believe most of his goals are gonna come from in close. Sucks losing him because he’s fun to watch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 Great feature on who he is and where he comes from: https://theathletic.com/970315/2019/05/10/between-chasing-pucks-and-recording-albums-how-the-krebs-are-making-their-mark-in-the-whl-and-nashville/ Consider the Krebses in full pursuit: Maddison, 22, is making a living as a singer-songwriter. She settled in Nashville at the age of 19. Dakota, 20, returns to the WHL for a fifth season in the fall. He left home at 16 when he cracked the lineup of the Tri-City Americans. He now skates for the Calgary Hitmen. Peyton, 18, star of the WHL Kootenay Ice, is a sure-fire first-rounder in the NHL draft. By 15, he was billeting in Strathmore, Alta., and playing for the midgets there. Dru, 16, a second-round selection at the 2018 WHL bantam draft, is bound this winter for the Medicine Hat Tigers. Asked about their remarkably high-reaching offspring, Greg shrugs — and Cindy leaves the table, ostensibly to fetch water. “I mean, we get lots of comments from friends and people we meet,” Greg said. “It’s pretty cool. I don’t know. We always say we found what the kids are passionate about. That’s all we did. I guess they just found their thing. Lots of kids try lots of different things and don’t find that thing.” *** Dru, aiming to catch on with the Tigers, is next. Three lads, three WHL outposts. “Some families want their kids to play together on certain junior teams,” Greg said. “We said, ‘No, you go on your own path. It’ll make you better.'” Cindy agrees. Embrace adversity. “Rather than hiding them from it and protecting them,” she said. “That’s a common theme now, ‘Oh, I don’t want (my child) to get cut.’ No, no. It’s OK to be cut. Then it’s how you respond. That’s what makes the difference.” If the environment seems decidedly coddle-free, note that it also comes without pressure. Even if outsiders conclude that Greg and Cindy are whip-crackers. Not true. “It’s driven by you, personally,” Dakota said. “Our mom and dad aren’t going to make us stickhandle in the garage. Or make Maddison go sing. We have personal goals … our parents just support us and love us the way they do.” 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 Pronman's top 100 players under 23: https://theathletic.com/2804584/2021/09/07/ranking-the-best-under-23-nhl-players-does-cale-makar-or-andrei-svechnikov-top-the-list/ (September 2021) Quote 66. Peyton Krebs, C, Vegas Jan. 26, 2001 | 5-foot-11 | 180 pounds Drafted: No. 17 in 2019 Tier: Projected bubble top and middle of lineup player Skating: Average Puck Skills: Average Hockey Sense: Above-average Compete: Above-average Shot: Below-average Krebs had a great season, as a dominant junior in the WHL and a top player for Canada at the world juniors. He also held his own in a few games at the AHL and NHL levels. He has a lot of pro attributes but particularly his hockey sense jumps out at you. He makes so many plays with his vision, finding ways to hit a lot of seams, create under pressure and improvise to generate a lot of chances. Krebs isn’t that big, but he’s a good skater with a high compete level, which makes you think he can play center in the NHL. His main issue is historically he doesn’t finish that much. I see someone who can be a quality top-six forward, including if he stays down the middle. Wheeler's top 50 NHL prospects: https://theathletic.com/2723291/2021/08/16/nhl-top-50-prospects-2021-edition-byfield-caufield-and-power-headline-wheelers-drafted-skaters-ranking/ (August 2021) Quote 26. Peyton Krebs, C/LW, 20 (Vegas Golden Knights — 17th overall, 2019) For my money, not only was Krebs the best player in the WHL last year but he’s ready to play a full 82-game season in the NHL this year. If the Golden Knights can find a spot for him in the middle six, I’d bet on him not looking out of place in that role on a contending team that is likely to win the Pacific Division. He’s that good. Krebs isn’t going to ever score a ton of goals, but he’s the kind of player who could well score 20 goals, add 30-35 assists and be a damn-good 50-55 point player who adds speed, pace and playmaking near the top of a lineup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
