when he led the swedish league in goals, he was playing lw
- homiedclown

Yeah, he played some RW with Modo, but once he went to frolunda, he's basically been LW. LW is where he should be imo

They could play Olofsson at 3LW, but that would force Vesey and Johansson to RW

Would love to get AA in a Sabres jersey

There is no way that deal happens. If they trade AA and Mantha, the only offense they have left is Larkin and Bertuzzi.

We needed AA last year not this year. Lehner is gone

he played lw with asplund as center and o regan as rw

and played lw in sweden


when did he play rw?
- homiedclown

A very good friend of mine has seasons tix for Rochester & said he played RW there at times

And how do u know he played ONLY LW in Sweden?

Regardless...
Ehlers is a known 20+ goal scorer in the NHL who’s had rotating Centers to play with and still been quite successful

He’d easily be our #2 LW behind Skinner
And he’s also listed at RW too
So maybe he could play there more??
Idk

But I’ll take a 23 year old, goal scoring winger and slot him into the top6 without any problems
Guys that aren’t here long term, will have to switch sides if that’s what it comes down to
And Prospects still have to prove themselves

Ehlers is a really good player
We need more of that imo
So yeah, I’ll take him

1) i don’t see why that would be a problem
2) we don’t even know of Olofsson is gonna be good in the nhl


I think some ppl are way too concerned about Ehlers being a “LW”

How can Detroit afford to lose 2 guys in their top6 though?

Where did u hear that rumor???

Like I said, I'd be fine with it if it happened

If we move Risto I want a Center coming back in the deal. We can move Cozens or Mitts to the wing if we have to when we cross that bridge. Or even whoever we acquire could always move to the wing when the time comes.

Take the best player, who helps long term. No need to limit yourself on potential trade partners.

given all the centers in the pipeline, including 3 picked in the top 10 in the past 5 drafts, you would think on paper rw is the position of need, not center, if moving risto

I would say a “goal scoring” winger is our top need

Imo, we have Skinner & Reinhart who we all KNOW can definitely be good top6 wingers for us long term

So either a LW or a RW that can put the puck in the net, and that is young, is what we should be targeting imo

Is that Mantha & AA rumor legit?
Where’d u hear that from??

Cozens can play RW if needed. Skinner-Eichel-Cozens sounds like a pretty deadly line. Wingers are the easiest position in the league to obtain. I’ll take my chances with the natural Center who can shift to the wing if need be.

read it last week that the wings were interested in both

Remember where u saw it?
And interested in both our defensemen,
or moving both their forwards?

I know they’ve got some young forwards coming,
but it’s hard to imagine they’d give up AA and Mantha

I’d do that in a heartbeat
But i think they’d only wanna give up 1 of them +
Maybe that + could be one of their other young forwards that are coming though

might be wanting either or and offering either or


I still think risto stays and one of the others plays LD

unless someone overpays
