Well, they need a short term one, or one who could move from 2 to 3 after Cozens beats him out when he is ready and I am sure someone will throw some guy named Bonino around that never leaves. But is he legit #2, he had 35 pts the last 2 years? That seems 3rd line and he is not getting any younger.

For as much as I will always defer to the numbers, analytics Twitter (Not one specific person) has an annoying habit of hammering into the ground anyone they feel is over rated, to the point where you’d swear they were replacement level.

New flavor of the week is Seth Jones

Sean Monahan or Mikael Backlund.

I'm not sure what a real 2C is, but if you're thinking somebody like Point or Cirelli, they aren't getting traded.

They used the 7th overall pick in 2019.

Rush him like they did Mitts? Not sure that would be smart, starting him at 3 might be smarter.

Nearly every Sabres fan would make that trade, which tells you it's almost assuredly not something Vancouver would accept.

I would also include the 2021 first because it will be in the latter half of the first round anyways

Even the 2021 1st scares me away from that deal only in terms of that's a lot of assets to give up for not addressing the most pressing need the team has.

it was always eichel, olofsson, reinhart and dahlin


almost always



skinner started out on pp
then johansson took skinners spot

then risto took johanssons spot


then it was a mix of risto or johansson

- homiedclown


Risto actually started the year at the point,
Dahlin was on PP2
Miller saw a little time on PP1 as well

Risto & Dahlin played the points together for a little bit too

There was a lot of shuffling
Was basically Jack, Sam & Olofsson the whole time & many different combos of the others mentioned

At least that’s my memory of it

Yeah. And it’s not that I don’t disagree with a lot of what they present, or whether someone is over rated. It’s to the degree where our blogger is comparing a 30 goal winger to Girgensons (I kid, I kid)

Sabres also could’ve just drafted Boeser

They can just draft his clone Holtz

But now people will think he sucks hahaha

The Sabres will be good when they hit a home run like that in the 2nd/3rd.

It’s what will have to happen

How do you know that?

Are you trying to say Tampa didn't know what they had?

Or they could turn a late 1st or early 2nd into a home run via trade?

Mattias Samuelsson for Matt Roy
Ryan Johnson + for MacKenzie Weegar

Not sure what’s odd about it. I’m sticking up for Boeser. For some reason he’s being labeled as over rated by the same people labeling Sam under rated, yet those people are admittedly calling them “close”.

It’s just exaggerated
