He might be one. Probably isn't anymore.

He was bad to for a lot of last year.

I was literally reading people in Minny saying he was cooked yesterday,

He had 19 goals and 28 assists in 66 games.

Who on the Sabres remotely approached that as a Center aside from Eichel?

So no Monahan ......
- Sabretooth9

Not necessarily.

They traded a 40 point forward with 1 year left for a 40 point forward with one year left.
- sbroads24

Don't be Gerbe on this. MoJo hasn't broken 30pts since 2016. Staal had 47 last year.

Neither is amazing, but come on guy, you can't HATE this trade, do you?

47p in 66g from the center position. Thats a 55 point pace. Youre just trying to be negative at this point.

Samson if he had good wingers.

Damn right.

Where you been Stripes?

I missed you.

He’ll be great for Cozens too.

Nothing like learning from a guy whose seen it all in the NHL.

Congrats man 🙌

Stahl had a way better ppg and plays Center. Was a great one year upgrade for us.

You mean a 30 point the last 2 seasons fake Center for an actual Center who averaged 49 points the past 2 seasons?

Big congrats! Did that myself, plaster and lathe throughout, I feel your pain.

I'm struggling to see Minn's side on this one.

Pending UFA for a pending UFA 1 for 1.

If it doesn’t work he’s gone in free agency.

Staal can play Center and Mojo can’t.

Good start for Adams imo
- Pegullaville

Fixed.

I agree, Kim did good.

We just got better with a proper 2C (albeit 35 yrs old) and saved some $ as well. As others point out, play Skinner with Jack and "X". Line #2 - Olo - Staal and Reinhart.
Maybe Cozens or Mitts is "X"?

Took the bathroom down to the studs and rewired a lot of the house. I’m almost done with the kitchen and then I need a break!

- jcragcrumple

Kick that can baby.

They just bought themselves another year to not make a meaningful trade

I actually don’t hate this trade .....

He’s out 2C place holder for cozens

Leadership

He’s not completely terrible

He’s won the cup


I still would hope for Monahan but not god awful.

I don’t think Johansson found his role with the Sabres. Forcing him to play center when he was a winger doesn’t help

This just reads as misguided saltiness over Botterill getting fired

Lol. We were literally on the same page all week about not acquiring bandaids.

What changed for you?

yep and all players on MINN had down years last year fro some reason. 76 points in 2018, not all that long ago. Perfect 1 year player until Cozens takes over and we save on cap. Brilliant - Maybe this Adams aint all that bad?

Marcus Johansson, acquired by MIN, is a bottom six two-way forward with a good shot who's nothing special at either end. Probably not actually below-replacement at even strength (weighed down heavily by special teams) but not very good either. #mnwild

@JFreshHockey
Eric Staal, acquired by BUF, has been consistently great for the past four seasons, is very productive, and has even been pretty decent defensively in the past two seasons. Barring a sudden collapse he's a very strong top six centre. #sabres

Good post. Love the move! Can easily slot in at 2c!

Now, does he swing for a 3c?

Skinner. Jack. Samson
Olo. Staal. Tage.
Kahun. ???. Cozens
Rochester Larry. Lazer Larry. Concussed Larry

Better now than an hour ago

I've been on board with this idea for a month. It's brilliant.

55 point natural center and gave up basically nothing. Hes a former captain and a cup winner. This is a slam dunk

HAHAHAHA 😅😅😂😂😂😂

Johansson carries $1.25M more of a cap hit at $4.5M.

Guerin acquired him to play center. He moved from LW to C in his only year in Buffalo, and that didn't go too well

They got him for Marcus Johansson.

I fail to see the downside of this deal.

They traded a 40 point forward with 1 year left for a 40 point forward with one year left.

48 points in 66 games, 52 the year before and 76 the year before that, nut make up stuff if you need
