He tops out as a 4th liner imo. He doesn’t score much at the AHL level. He seemed to do well on the PK well though when he was up on the big club
- Pegullaville

He's always been more of a playmaker, nothing wrong with 15 goals and 30 assists, I would take that out of my 3C.

I would love that from a 3C. I just don’t think Asplund is a 45 point player

Maybe not, but his 1st full season in Rochester he had 41, like to see what he does with a chance.

how many 3rd line centers get 35 points, let alone 45

someone please make a movie of The Battle of Ramree Island

How about
Olofsson Eichel Boeser
Skinner Cozens Tuch
Mojo Asplund Kahun
Maroon Lazar Okposo
Dahlin DeMelo
Merril Joker
McCabe Miller
Ullmark
Demko

The Canucks aren't moving Boeser, where the hell does this keep coming from.

Because there own beat writer brought it up on Spector's, but even of they don't then you keep Rhino there. Even if you take Boeser out and put Rhino back in, still a decent top 9.

Who said Reinhart is getting moved ? the Canucks aren't moving one of there best players.

Nobody did, but it's the off-season and it's fun to try different combinations. Nobody knows what's gonna happen right now.

Maybe for SyFy, it seems like bullpoop to me. I'm sure a few were attacked, but 980? They had a perfect chance to do a movie like that and made one of the worst movies in history with Nic Cage. The story of the Indianapolis was crazy.

Include Montour in that trade for 2C
Sign DeMelo

Dahlin DeMelo
McCabe Joker
Bryson Miller
- IonSabres

I don’t think we should be putting Bryson or Borgen in the Sabres lineup at this point

Better off having them as callups when injuries happen

Sam's lack of size and commitment to lifting weights is %100 on ownership
- Boss34

Sam- 6’1 192lbs
Pommer- 5’10 180lbs

Spector's has a interesting article on Vegas and who might be available if they want to try and resign Lehner. Karlsson is interesting as is Rielly Smith, Tuch has already been brought up here.
- Buff36

Karlsson would be the prefect 2C
Be weird if they moved him though


All those trade proposals involving pick8 were horrible btw, especially the 1st one

And Demko looks like an NHL backup to me at this point
I suppose he’s young enough that he could still get better, but i wouldn’t project it
Most i’d give you for him is a 4th

not sure what was worse in that movie, Cage being disinterested in his role or seeing a dying Tom Sizemore on the raft for 45 minutes

Borgen will be 24 when the season starts

3 years of college hockey, 2 years at rochester

if he is not ready now, he never will be ready


throw him to the wolves

That would make for an interesting decision for them down the road if Cozens is as good as we all hope, as Karlsson is making $5.9M per for the next 7 years.

If we trade 2 RH guys & put Borgen in the lineup,
then the only guy we have in Rochester who MIGHT be ok to bring up for injuries is Bryson
Even if Borgen is “ready”
It’s just dumb to thin our defensive depth

- kingcong39

True
That would put Cozens at RW for the near future
Maybe at some point we have enough talent to spread guys out & have 3 lines that could score?

Idk what they’d want for him?
But my guess is that the first 2 things they ask for are Cozens & pick8...
so maybe we don’t even have Cozens?
Idk that I’d wanna do that,
but i do like Karlsson a lot

this is assuming there is an AHL season


we have Oskari Laaksonen and Casey Fitzgerald under contract still if there is an AHL season


I doubt there is an AHL season this fall, and expect a lot of guys going overseas for a year with expanded NHL rosters (say 30)

They have Cody Glass, he will be there 2C. Karlsson won't get traded because Stastny only has 1yr left on his contract. And Peyton Krebs is coming soon.

If Cozens wins that 2C at the end of the '21-22, then the Sabres have a premium Player available for trade secure upgrades at positions of need or for futures. It would all be good.

That's it, be nice to have those kinds of tough decisions, instead of how am I going to fill this spot.
