I don't think Mitts problem was coaching per se. I think he just wasn't quite ready for the show and got thrust in way to early. As the season progressed, his defensive game improved, and he put up way more points the second half then the first. I put that as he just needs a little more time to adjust to the NHL game. He's got the skill to be a good 2C. Just gotta put it all together. Expecting him to blow up (I did) may have just been expecting too much for a young kid 1 year removed from high school hockey.

Agreed. I was not saying Casey will be bad/ a bust. But in terms of NHL readiness, it was not there. He needed time off to press box and learn. But that would mean Sobodka taking his spot.

out of the available stop gaps, are any worth exploring for 1-2 years?

Brassard
Lehtera
Johansson
Spooner
Dano (more of a winger)
- thatsapickle

I'd offer a big contract for 2 years to Johansson. 2 years, 18 million, or something in that range. Nice stop-gap, incentive to come here, and he'll be done by the time Dahlin needs to be re-upped.

freedom is delicious

"ecstatic" and "turris" can't be used in the same sentence without "okposo"

Yep

- Slump Buster

I didn't use Turris in that sentence

But I wouldn't mind him at 4.5, it's the five years that would suck. But Ehlers

Also, Kyle Turris is Erik Haula with a track record. Erik Haula is gonna get around 5 per with a decent (50 point season) That's what Turris does now. Close in age, close in expected future production. Anyone who wanted Haula who wouldn't take Turris at 4.5 (again, 5 years is tough to swallow, but Haula most likely gets that as well) isn't being honest here.

That'd be epic amounts of leadership

Sign Jumbo
Trade a 6th for Gusev. 2 year 4 per.
Risto for Ehlers
Scandella to Ottawa for a late pick.


Skinner - Eichel - Reinhart
Gusev - Jumbo - VO
Ehlers - Mitts - Sheary
Vesey - Erod - does not matter.

I know, but we have 4 LWs already

Sheary is a C today

NICK BJUGSTAD Or Rust from Pittsburgh. Anyone interested in either? They (Pittsburgh media) are saying one of them has to be moved...

I'll be honest. With me. With everyone.

Erik Haula not coming to Buffalo ruined this franchise worse than the summer of '07.

They just traded for Nick. Rust could be on the block. He'd be a swell bot6
