Grebe can still swing a mighty purse despite being handicapped. Or just pull off his pink sneakers and knock him out with odor.

Chemical warfare. I thought quickness was his weapon. Sneaky.

"Despite his limitless potential offensively, Jokiharju was viewed as a potential liability by Chicago coach Jeremy Colliton, who replaced Quenneville. Colliton, like former Sabres coach Phil Housley, used man-to-man in the defensive zone. That system is often difficult for young defensemen since there is little margin for error.

“I think the defensive zone, it’s big,” Jokiharju said when asked what he enjoys about Krueger’s systems. “Last year, I had some struggles with man-to-man coverage, but I think this year I’m of course a little bit bigger. I think the defensive-zone structure is really good. I really like it.”

“He’s making great plays, he’s making simple plays, but he’s not afraid to hold onto the puck and look for that good pass,” Scandella said of Jokiharju. “I feel like he’s been really sharp out there.”

One more from Coach Q:

“It seemed like his reads were good and his gap was outstanding,” Quenneville said of Jokiharju's play in Chicago. “He had good patience with the puck as well. I thought with how he was defending for a young kid, his reads, his positioning on the rush killing plays, his quick puck movement, supporting the attack and good patience at the offensive blue line, he had a tremendous start to the year.

"You'd expect off a start like that, there's a lot of potential there to be at least a regular, up to a pretty important defenseman.”

Hopefully we light Miller up

Don't think Miller is playing, Yahoo Fantasy has him as out, so won't even be dressed it looks like. Gibson starting.

Yeah this was horrible. Let’s give up a defenseman for a 3rd line winger and a scub player, both of which will be UFAs shortly. Waste of a read

The only thing I like about this is that it indicates yet another team looking to trade for a defenseman. Supply and demand. The higher the demand, the more your supply is worth.

He’s a better mark Pysyk...... and I am okay that he’s offensively limited. Eventually his stretch passes will lead to assists

A better Pysyk?

Is such a thing possible?

It's a dream, but put him with Eichel on the Right and drop Rhino down with Skinner and Mojo, or just let him take Sobotka place. Solid 2 lines

In Gibson we trust ...

Hopefully Guhle plays and shows Sabres what they gave up on... he’s been great for us so far.

Should be a really fun game ...

Guhle will never have the natural ability that Montour has, so in my mind, we'll have to see how that 1st work out for you. That's what we "gave up" on. Guhle has potential and might be a good 3-6 at some point but has shown no consistency, even at the AHL level. If that 1st pans out to be decent it will be a solid trade for both teams.
