Hopefully Adams can package Olofsson with some spare parts and land a 1st for him in this years draft. 3rd rounders, b prospects......

4 1sts would definitely set this team on the right path.

no response to the fact you will be losing the bet in a week?

skunk 4 points in 4 games

gus none in 5
olofsson on the shelf

- homiedclown

pham had an interesting take on olofsson in that they're waiting for his injury to heal 100% before he hits the ice with the team...said that once olo starts practicing he it should be a quick process back into games

hard to pass up a first rounder for a former 7th rounder...yet, it'd be a shame to move on from a sabres developmental success story...kid spent over seven years as a prospect/player, worked his way through every level, put in all the work to become well-rounded, is looking like a steady 20-plus goal scorer and still has some room for growth in his overall game...that's the type of player i'd like to keep in the organization

I have mentioned this before, but we are really seeing it today

chris taylor made it a point to put asplund and olofsson together in all situations at rochester

5 on 5
power play
penalty killing


we are seeing that pay off in asplund this season and was seeing it in olofsson before the injury

I clicked that Pegula yacht link a week ago and now I'm getting a poop load of yacht ads.

Google: I do not have yacht money. Plz stop. I am not in the market for a multi-million dollar yacht

You should see if you can con your way into financing for one, and then just default on the loan a month later.

Olofsson in 4 less games still has more points.

Tommy can be 3rd best

That is an awful trade for a buffalo you get maybe two years of Crosby and it’s not even good Crosby anymore
- ImThatGuy


Ownership being what they are, I can see them making a call on Crosby.

Power and Tage Thompson of all folks makes Dahlin and Cozins in my opinion.

Maybe sign Croby to an extension. Overpay to help the transition to a team not competing this year.

We should move R2 to Cozens line and send Drake down with Bkork and Hayden.

That would be a horrible 4th line but I'd rather give Cozens a better player and better scorer

I wouldn't be surprised if fires were started outside the arena if this happened.

excellent idea. nothing like trading young assets on a young rebuilding team for an aging superstar who won't take this team anywhere in the three years it will take to become competitive.

Submit your resume.

Until we get Mitts back, probably not going to happen. That being said, I like it.
