Go and get this guy.





Put it this way Devonte Wyatt #95 is 6'4 315 lbs.

Jordan Davis towers over him.

I'm ready for anything. I don't like Ford, Bates, Winters or any of the replacement linemen they've brought in.

Sens watcher here.

Anderson, as you've mostly seen is pretty solid if you play good structure around him.

But you need a solid back up.
Sens are in a free fall here, and need a center who breaths air, or a defenseman who can use the correct handed stick.

We have Forsberg in net, he's been good when used with a competent partner.


You want him?

Not sure he would be an upgrade over Tokarski tbh

Greatest villain in history right here. Gets on a boat of a man who's sole purpose is to find a very precious lost gem, which she has, with her granddaughter. Proceeds to go on and on about a story about how she got some hot one night stand action (in the form of cheating on her fiancé btw) in front of granddaughter, wasting the crews time for like three days while they thought in the end there would be a clue into which room to explore the Titanic. Doesn't save Jack even though the door is big enough for two. Drops the aforementioned gem into the ocean secretly, and then dies, being reunited with the random hook up guy instead of her actual husband who she lived 50+ years with in America and clearly had children with. Just an absolutely terrible person.

I feel like the bold is very overstated as he needs no more help defensively than any other young player.

I read Lance from BN say that and indicate it would be why he would keep Peterka in the AHL again next season, which is total bullpoop IMO.

Disagreed, Quinn is significantly better defensively as an example. JJP is awesome, I assume he's up next year, but he does watch too match in the d-zone and can lose defenders who jump in because he has his back turned. It isn't some indictment of him, just the weakest part of the game.

It can be the weakest part of his game without holding him back from playing in the NHL as early as the end of this season.

Right... Risto is in the NHL and he can't play defense for poop.

Meh, I'd give him 3-4 games at the end of the year with Quinn and Krebs, but that's just me. I get why you want these guys up with the club, but we really have no reason to rush anything right now.

Yeah I mean who would want to try to make the playoffs in a league where 52% of the teams make the playoffs every year?

We're Buffalo we should know our role as losers and stay there.

Getting a infusion of talent back into the lineup with players coming back of IR, see where this team is in January early February.

"Star date, 2022.1, Assistant Captain's log (Sulu: "oh, myyyy..."): we manage 3.2 goals per game, skate our c@c&s off (Sulu: "oh, nooo..."), are fun to watch, yet goaltending is still our Achilles heel. Tage has scored his team-leading 43rd goal, while ROR is stuck on 3, and is seemingly losing his lust for the game again. Help us, GMKA-Wan, you're our only ho....oops, wrong franchise".

That's good!! I hope they force Adams hand. This team is better than everyone thought. Don't want to rush things, but a decent goalie shouldn't hurt are asset pool.

This looks like a playoff team to you? We are 2-7-1 in our last 10. If they want to get better, sign Rask and improve the goaltending. A couple rookie wingers aren't saving this team.

I don't care if they keep all of them in the AHL all season.

Keeping them in the AHL next season is where I greatly disagree.
