No, I wouldn't. Maybe they put a Joker on the Table!!

trade Joker? one of 2 RHD

Would you waive Bjork and keep Kozak up to compete for 4th line role or would top 6 minutes in the AHL be more beneficial to the role the Sabres see him in?
- Theguywiththething

Think we all know KA isn't going to have him skip the AHL entirely.

Not so fun fact, he's old enough by 2 days to play in the AHL this year. He's also 2 days too old for his ELC to slide, if he doesn't play 10 NHL games.

Depending on the return, Sure!!

Unless he's added in with one of the young forwards I don't see his value very high,

something like Mitts + Joker for a top 4D

Like to see where these 2 are at around Christmas first though.

Very true, I'd prefer a player tho

Peters made a good point on the podcast about Granato for this season. For as good of a job he has done, does he have what it takes to sit guys (even vets) to ice the most competitive roster?

Where would you set the bar in an assessment year with returning players, prospects making a push and finally goltending via progress vs winning?

Valid point. Terry better start investing in the Buffalo medical complex…. Or he may continue to have millions tied up in injured players…

I would like another 1st in next year's draft. Could help get even a better current player at the TDL or Draft.

Whos replacing him if we trade him for a pick tho.. Fitzgerald?

Bjork is not even AHL Talent IMO, he does absolutely NOTHING for this team but take up a roster spot. I would waive him in a heartbeat and replace him with Kozak. Kid has looked great the entire time in a Sabres uni.

I've been on the move on from Joker train for a while, but the timing seems strange now. Maybe in December, if they don't have a strong start and someone is dealing with injuries.

And it sets the tone that performance/results matter, so far I agree with you.

- Lunaion

Certainly not going to trade joker for another forward?

Probably trading joker for a draft pick or 2.

I agree, maybe even the deadline ?

- Gr8daygo

3/5/7 rule (I’m making this up)

3 games with negative impact- line shuffle
5 games with a negative impact- press box
7 games with a negative impact- youth takes your spot

More likely a next offseason move. Joker and Mitts are a trap of sorts. If they play reasonably well, they won't move them. If they don't play well, their value is next to nothing.

Like someone mentioned earlier, the nice guys are going to have to do some mean things soon.

Yes, lets play Casey Fitzgerald for 40+ games


Joker has been a good 2-way D. Just turned 23. Has been played higher in the lineup than he should of been cause we didn't have the depth and coaches thought he was at least good with Dahlin

Wrong Herbert. It’s the bears backup RB
- Sabretooth9

No, I’m aware what Herbert it is, and point stands, what kind of league was he available? Any slightly competitive league he was drafted and maybe the top handcuff other then mattison

bears backup rb

not qb
they dumped him for Tyler Conklin


I think that team had schultz for TE
- homiedclown

Yes I’m aware of who he is. Crazy he was a FA

Those mean things could happen sooner than expected.

Sorry, it doesn't have to be right now, but by the TDL would be nice.

Well not trying to piss on your parade, but Granato does like Fitzgerald and he will see NHL time this year.
