I wouldn't bring up Johansson for a cup of coffee while in a situation where every single point is could matter unless we absolutely had to. If we're out of the playoff hunt give him and UPL some starts at the end of the season. Ullmark has been quietly playing better and more consistent thus earning more starts. He'll probably get 2 starts on this trip and rightfully so. No need to tinker there unless absolutely necessary. I think the hopeful 3 year plan with Hutton and Ullmark all along was split year 1, Ullmark shows signs and gets more starts in year 2 and in year 3 Ullmark is legit number 1 and Hutton is the backup and moral support.

I don't see why people see Johansson as more than a depth guy. Nice that he's playing well, but in total, he's played about half a season worth of games in the AHL. If someone gets hurt, I'll be interested to see him. If not, UPL is the future.

This should be talked about more in Jason's department than here, even.

If only we drafted Kuznetsov instead of Pysyk

Yeah but can Kuznetsov play defense and forward?

Didn't think so

not serious. I think this overall conversation about being upset that they picked Reinhart instead of Draisaitl is (frank)ing fritatta.

Your posts seem to constantly degrade everything related to Buffalo.
Not sure why you are here to tell the people if Buffalo how poopty everything is.
Go pontificate in the Leafs blog.

- IonSabres


I love the city, their sports teams happen to have a lot of excuses though and except mediocrity.

I cheered for the tank so we can get elite players and compete with the leagues best for the cup.

So we should ship him off because a better player was taken after him?
- RhinoFan


No, but you don’t bend over and take it in the arse if he asks for 8x9 either.

If his contract demands are out of whack then any player can be moved for the right price.

it would be one thing if the current GM made the pick but seriously what in the world is the point of lamenting about a pick that a fired GM made

I said he is playing on the 3rd line, should have said bumped to 2nd PP, has what 16-17 pts approaching the halfway point. It's cushy here, when will you join me?
- GilPerreault11

A. He's played 17:23 per game. 3rd most 5 on 5 time of any forward
B. He was on the top PP unit on Tuesday
C. 28 games is closer to 25% of the season than 50% of the season. It's 34% of the season.

So once again, a bunch of provably false statements from the guy who's rarely ever wrong according to himself.

He's also tied for 15th in the NHL with 13 primary 5 on 5 points.

Which is more than Elias Pettersson, Barkov, Point, Barzal, Reinhart, Patrick Kane.

He's been great this year, again

No one had Patrick Mahomes going 10th. He was considered a late-1st/2nd rounder

Now teams who passed on him get criticized for it.

It comes with the territory

I agree, but the argument was no one had us drafting him in the mock drafts.

That doesn't matter.

For anyone scoring at home, Dea and Lazar were sent down without going through waivers. That means they were emergency recalls, and it just wasn't reported that way. It's stupid that they don't give us that detail. It also means that we could theoretically call up Cozens, should need arise.
