Who knows. You have nothing to lose at this point though.

This team is already out of the playoffs and won't make it this year so f&$$ it.

- ImThatGuy



Yeah, that “shakes things up”
But it still leaves us with players that blow & need to be upgraded

Pouliot, Moulson, Tennyson, Griffith...

Upgrading these guys can probably be done with talent we have in Rochester
There’s guys who are close enough to “ready” imo that can come up here & help like Bailey has

That should be step 1
Not trade O’Reilly

West coast team playing 3rd in 4 nights.
Sabres had two days off.

Yet they were the ones affected by travel.

Here's the long and short of it. This team is not good...and we are starting to waste the best years of Eichel's career

It would be that much worse without Risto.
- Wetbandit1



I somewhat agree right now. But I'm pretty torqued as I believe the last play I really saw by him was to take the puck from the side of the net and softly throw it in front of the net to no one except a bunch of Canucks.

I'm extremly concerned that Okposo might not regain form to a 20 goal scorer.

Played 11 seconds the last 12 minutes of the 2nd and was sat most of the third.

The unfortunate thing is that Kane is one of the few on this team that doesn't deserve to be traded.....but nobody else will want the lazy useless (frank)s that comprise the rest of our roster...

Anyone but Eichel, Middlestadt and Guhle should be available in discussion

But, if you're Kane and you see these lazy players here, some long term, do you sign? That's why he has to be traded if they don't start turning this around in about a month.

cap strapped

if you extend Kane, you have no money as long as bogo, pommer, and moulson are on the roster


and ror is turning into a non value deal, as is okposo

All these guys are talented. Just need to jell together. Line shifts have been nuts.

And there’s still work to be done...

Things I think we can do without major moves include:

Nylander up, playing 3rd line over Pouliot
Baptiste up, playing 3rd line (or even 2nd & move down Okposo) over Griffith

Those are no brainers IMO

How’s Guhle look?
He’s gotta be better than Tennyson, right?

Does ANYONE disagree with any of those moves?

I think that’s where we should start
