Donnie bashing, oh goodie....

Or KA for not getting a 4C

Ventura though clear of fault 😀

Both asplund and girgensons have 4c experience in the nhl, what kind of upgrade are you expecting?

Meatball's wanted Vinny and was that confident moving Hurt28 to C again. Fool me once, something something something.

Eakin was his choice at C last year. That has to tell you something.

Meatball's overconfidence moving guys to C strikes again and hurts the team. They passed on brining in a proper 4C and gambled on moving Girgs to C, and it's failed 2 straight years. Krebs back to W. Mitts has been better at LW, back to C. Cozens has been better on the W, back to C. Now he's forced to move Asplund to C, when he should be a big part of their top 9.

Guy just struggles with C's. One success went to his head.

Guess we shall see what happens, hopefully they find there way. Sabres have a lot decisions on who plays W, hell they have decisions everywhere.

Bingo... KA doesnt get an upgrade
Malone/Sheehan is really the only other option

Adam Fantilli will solve all the center problems going forward

KA didn't upgrade anywhere, he's hoping for that out of the group he has put together.

Lance thinks they have 6 centers.

I'm hoping for 2, and maybe 3.

Hurt28 - nothing accurate to say, start trolling. 😀

How many more bad takes can you have before turning this around? It's so unlike you to be wrong, continuously....

My guess , probably November.....

He seems to buy everything the team sells. Really hard to spin this as Asplund winning the 4C job and not Girgs failing as 4C again. They both have a history of playing better as wingers.

My guess is the 4 Centers this season will eventually be Tage, Cozens, Mittelstadt, and Krebs.

Curious how long it will take to get there.

Any chance you aren't objective with Girgs?

No need to answer.

How much are you playing up your love of him for fun here? That's the better question.

It's either 4C or the press box for tiny rasmus asplund.

He's gonna get pushed all over the place compared to zem.

Girgensons gladly showed his letter "A" and moved to lw.

Guy is a coaches dream.

Your streak has ended...

I'm clearly having fun with girgensons. 🤝

I like his size at center, a true checking line with a big guy playing center.

I'm happy when he's playing though. #entertainment

You're funny. Asplund just beat out Girgs at a position you've been touting all off-season, and he'd be the one getting scratched?

Girgs is the one holding on by a thread. Vinny is 13F and better than him.

Really hope Kozak goes to Rochester and just growing and improving. Think he's your 4C of the future.

I know its a joke but I could see this team falling flat.

A lot of unknowns, especially at goalie.

Adams came out this off-season and said Asplund wasn't playing center, and now, he's got to play it because Girgensons isn't any good at it and the team is unprepared at 4C.

Almost the same story last year. Countless opportunities to do something about it, but can't admit there's a problem. Some people just can't resist the appeal of Girgs.
