CallawaySabres Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 1 hour ago, Crusader1969 said: Greenway Thompson. Tuch JJP Cozens. Quinn the top 6 at today practice are you happy if this is the top 6 going into next year ? would be cool to get a LW to drop Greenway to the 3rd line BUT then you have an issue with what to do with Skinner. Yes, I understand his metrics are good 5v5 I just don't think you should have a one dimensional player on your top line, especially when you have the youngest team in league. Your vets need to set a standard i would probably want them to switch Benson to 1st line and Greenway to 3rd skinner Krebs greenway as your 3rd line isn't terrible I don't think Two of those top 6 need to be bumped down to 3rd line and they need to add a couple solid FAs in the summer to take their place. Trade 1st rounders and prospects if you need to but this top 6 is not even close to cutting it for a Stanley Cup contender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sense bubble-wrapping the guy. If he's ready to go, he should go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidc3000 Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 (edited) I have no problem him playing, if you’re going to break him again, might as well be before the season ends 1 hour ago, WhenWillItEnd66 said: Last time he got hurt he only needed a practice or two to come back. Not to mention he was playing 100% apon return. He has been skating for a week or two so i am sure he is itching to be back on the ice. And then he quickly got hurt.

If he's ready to go, he should go. I would also include his mental health. Many athletes openly talk about depression setting in when they are away from the sport and unable to compete. He seems like a happy go lucky kid from the outside looking in, but you never know especially with this being his second injury within a year. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

French Collection Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 2 hours ago, That Aud Smell said: Who says they're rushing him back? If he's healthy and good to go, he should play. And he'll want to play, for sure. The offseason will be here soon enough. He may as well get some run in now, so that he can be ready to compete in the IIHF men's worlds (?). I will be at the World Championships, it would be nice to meet a few Sabres there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is it anything but good news that an injured player is back? It’s good for the player to be back and playing. It’s good for the team to get a talented player back in the lineup. Would I have liked him back when the games were still meaningful? Sure, but that doesn't change the fact that it is good news that he’s back.

PerreaultForever Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 Granato really stuck on that Peterka-Cozens-Quinn idea isn't he. Peterka was looking good with Thompson and Tuch and Greenway paired with Cozens was a solid 2 way combo but whatever, they are stuck on their vision of the future. have at it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure they are just looking out for their fans here, giving them some juice for the final twirl around the toilet bowl. I guess if he’s good to go, let’s throw him out there so fans can cling to what might be, until it isn’t… 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right or wrong, they won't be moving him down the lineup I doubt they are letting salary dictate where Cozens plays. Right or wrong, good or bad, he’s one of our two best centers currently and the construction of the current team is dictating where he plays.

I also understand real 1C don't grow on trees and the Sabres won't/can't sign one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
