Be intriguing to see going forward the Samuelsson Dahlin pairing. There start zone % are almost totally opposite of each other.

Interesting, but CHL this year, AHL next seems most likely.

Why CHL, he was playing in the CZE Men's league. Did a CHL team take his rights.

Yes, and really high, so something is probably behind it.

Why do we have to trade Casey?

How about Strome goes in for Bjork

- ImThatGuy


Bjork doesn’t have a spot in the lineup
He’s an extra skater

This isn’t that hard
People have been posting line combos frequently the last week

Skinner-Tage-Olofsson
Mitts-Cozens-Tuch
Quinn-Krebs-Peterka/Hinostroza
Asplund-Girgs-Okposo

Bjork in the press box


Adding Copp could put Quinn AND Peterka in the AHL again
I’d prefer to see them both up here
They seem “ready” to me


Also….
Why is anyone ASSUMING that Copp actually wanted to come here???

Then why does everyone here every time someone goes "I would have made that trade"
say
"DONT TIM MURRAY THIS THING"

- ImThatGuy


YOU have been saying that more than everyone else I’ve seen COMBINED

selane, mcdonald and kunitz was their top line

none were drafted

top 3 d men, none were drafted

goalie, not drafted

- homiedclown


These are all TOTALLY IRRELEVANT points

Players don’t want to come here right now
You’re gonna have to get over it
Bc that’s the way it is

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

signing copp would have made this team better and not screwed up the 15 year rebuild

nothing you can say will change my mind on that

- homiedclown



And where EXACTLY has it been reported that Copp actually wanted to come here?

Holy sh!t dude- listen to yourself for a second
You’re arguing for Adams to do things that aren’t all that possible at the moment-
AND YOU KNOW IT

Dahlin was the next Lidstrom we were told, I don't see it and he can't touch Makar.
- SABRES 89


I've been told the Sabres can't spend money now because he's going to be a $10m player soon. Huge if true.

This is pretty cool. But dammit but on some Cleats, we don't need any knee injuries or anything else.

“I still view him as a unicorn. I can’t find anyone I’ve ever played with or against, even in today’s game, that resembles the type of player he can become.”

Again, never once said he sucked, nor am I writing him off. How many times do I have to say that? He's an unknown. Pretending otherwise is just being intentionally obtuse.

You don't trade a star center for a 2nd line winger and scratch offs.

Ranked everywhere from 6 to 13

http://www.mynhldraft.com.../2019-nhl-draft-rankings/

Reinhart 1 to 4

http://www.mynhldraft.com...-draft-prospect-rankings/

These two are not the same.

Sure, he could be great, and I hope he is. In the handful of games I watched and he played he showed some things, but he could also be Olli Juolevi, or Alex Nylander, or Logan Brown. And that's 3 dudes from one draft's top 11 picks.

- Wetbandit1


Although I got I agree he is a wild card. If I remover correctly, Krebs was thought of as definitely a top 10 prospects, arguably top 5, but he missed time either before his draft, or immediately after, and it his his stock. I'm very confident in this, since I was high on Krebs during his draft year (have him in a few dynasty leagues).

I could be wrong, but I don't think I am.
