Even though they're not very good there is certainly something brewing there

Based on practice, looks like defense against Leafs may be:

Samuelsson-Dahlin
Power-Jokiharju
Butcher-Pysyk


Dahlin move to the right side

So I am trying to fake trade for Bode Wilde. So is say Johnson and Vegas's 2nd fair. I was thinking maybe Johnson for Wilde straight up but Lou might need a little more. So
Buffalo: Bode Wilde
Islanders: Johnson Vegas's 2nd

bout time

insert bryson for butcher and we may be onto something

Bryson is like Paetsch all over again.

Samuelsson, Dahlin, Power, Jokiharju, Miller, Pysyk should be our top-6 remainder of season.

Why if Joker is skating with Power than you might as well play Bryson or Fitzgerald over Miller and probably Pysyk. Or send Fitzgerald down now cause Rochester could use the help.

Bryson should play forward. 5'9 guys don't belong on the blue.

Just bc he’s not a “clear the front of the net” guy doesn’t mean he can’t be effective in other ways
Particularly moving the puck up the ice,
be it by a good outlet pass or even just skating it out of the zone

I just like to have bigger D-men. 5'9 is short man. He plays well but an upgrade could be had there

He definitely isn't out worst but I'm not gunna say you're wrong either.

Move out Bryson, Butch and Fitz. I'd like to see Laaks play some up here but were not going to see him till next year.

We should at least have 2 new D men next year. 3 if KA finds Power a Vet. Joker slots down in 3RD would be preferable.

If Samuel can handle top pair and Dahls works on the right that could be a deadly pair.

It’s not like I’m saying to put him on the top pair
He’s fine as a bottom pair or extra defenseman

Yes.

2 inches is a big difference




Seriously tho. Find me a solid 5'9 d-man. I cant find one.
