That's why when Bogo is ready, you put him and Dahlin back together, they played decent together. I would break up Risto and McCabe, maybe put Scandella with Risto. But it's hard to know, somebody is going soon. And McCabe needs to sit, he's tire fire right know.

Defense pairs that have worked fairly well:
Pilut-Ristolainen
Dahlin-Bogosian
Scandella-Jokiharju

The first 2 pairs have a “puck mover” with a more traditional, physical type... maybe that’s why the gelled?

No chance Pilut is coming up unless there’s a bunch of injuries/trades though
So like I’ve said before,
i wanna see Dahlin & Risto together at some point
Especially since Bogosian is probably a goner after this year

So I think I’d do...
Dahlin-Ristolainen
Scandella-Jokiharju
McCabe/Montour/Miller/Bogosian/Gilmour
-gotta find what 2 of the above play best together
and just go with it

It will be interesting to see what D are left, I don't know when it will happen but 2 or 3 are gonna be moved. Pilut should be up here, but you might have to include him in a package, poop even Borgen is almost ready. I don't know anymore, a lot of this team needs to go, they are mentally weak.

Incorrect.

Patty wanted to sign Miller and Ott (not a center) long-term and rebuild on the fly.

GMTM convinced Terry the best course was to blow it up and tank for McDavid.

Terry sided with GMTM and Patty made it easy for him when he took his ball and went home.

Then Terry realized GMTM wasn't a yes-man when he wouldn't fire Bylsma, who at this point was no worse than the gum-chewer and Freddy

I just can’t believe what’s happened.

The entire offensive gameplan is

Line 1- let Jack Eichel do absolutely everything

Lines 2-4 - pray you can get possession long enough to take a harmless wrist shot from the point

- sbroads24

this coach is not working



the team is worse each day

none of the young guys ,aside from joker are getting any better


it's obvious now we have a rookie gm and an inexperienced head coach

Botts yesterday per Hamilton said that they can’t trade the depth in D.

They have 3 dmen in Rochester they can call up currently.

But his whole we need Rochester to be good, so we can’t touch it is maddening.

Shelter him more then if you want, hes a rookie.

He has 3 points in his last 5, with an even strength goal. He had 4 really good chances tonight and it just didnt go

I was at the game

Then, clearly, you should watch the game on a 65" TV, and move the chair close

Olofsson is shooting 4%

Hes 6th on the team in high danger chances.

One of these will not last. I'm leaning towards the first one.

They should be.

The same could definitely apply to the Sabres as Ray talked about regarding the Leafs.

Yea, i thought he played good last night except for late in the 2nd he ruined a couple possessions in a row.

He's pretty weak with the puck, other than that I think he makes a lot of nice plays.

Did WGR bring up McCabe Risto or did they cower out of that one.

I didn't back read.

The game was a joke.

This team is a joke.

Montour saying that the bench didn't get a spark after Eichel went after Erickson-Ek is indicative of the lack of urgency or care from the upper management.

The comments from Botts were a joke. Saying you can't trade your defensive depth, just in case should have the pink slip on his desk.

Saying they are looking for a "little help" for the forward ranks is another strike.

Someone, probably Jack, needs to put on his Coach/GM cap and tell the Pegulas to figure this out, fast, or get me out of dodge.

This summer we need to have NJ off season. Shuffle out good players for different good players. It's becoming clear a new batch of guys is required, top to bottom.

I mean, any time you can add a talent like Jack Hughes that definitely helps

Yeah, I was harsh, but I can see the writing on the wall that he’s definitely not the big time goal scorer we thought he was.

I’d consider selling high if a team thinks he is.

I mean he’s in his mid-twenties already
