I have been saying for years the Squad needs "Team" Toughness up and down the roster, that means everyone finishes checks, everyone throws fists if they have too. We don't need a goon on this team, those days are over.

now if you can get me a Tom Wilson, Marcus Folingo, Maybe Reeves I will listen. At least they can drop the gloves and score for you.

Neuchev with 5 points in 18 games playing 10m ATOI.

Danila Yurov 4 points in 18 games playing 11m ATOI.

JUST SAYING is all I'm saying

The fact he's even playing in the K at 18 is impressive of itself. Gotta like that from a 3rd round pick.

sure, all of the above.

I like the idea of another tough guy or 2.

Dahlin / tuch shouldn't have to deal with the extra cheap shots ect.

How many other teams are the best players the muscle too?
- Boss34

Wow, its like I said this A WEEK AGO


Don't need fighters but a guy or 2 who can play, as well as bang some bodies.

To many cats not enough dawgs

I bet a GM read that Buffalo news article and is inspired, expect a long term extension and trade.

Haha, Wouldn’t that be something!

Do we have any prospects that play a tough game?
- The_Inkwell

Peterka for sure. Power eventually for his size.

Tage , skinner, tuch , girgensons and okposo can handle themselves. Or at least defend themselves from bullying.

Olo, asplund, quinn, krebs , mitts not so much

Soft players still a problem

I get the “team toughness” argument
But even if we were able to bring in ONE of the guys u mention,
it’s not gonna make our TEAM all that much tougher to play against

And having a guy who can drop the gloves just doesn’t matter much anymore

Agreed with Peterka. It's only been 2 games but I like the way he's been crashing the net.

Regarding the 5 you mentioned, I understand that they have other strengths, but I am so tired of seeing guys pull up on easy checks. Not asking that you go Pat Kaleta on guys, but you can at least bump someone.

Just a matter of time until he's 4C.

We don't need fighters, we need a guy or 2 other than Tuch and Dahl's to stand up for the little guys or even stand up for Dahlin. Our best player cannot be tussling with Tkachuk after every whistle.

+1 we need guys who dont get pushed around like 3 of the skinny guys for Ice Hockey on the NES

I don’t think adding ONE more guy will make much of a difference

And adding a guy to “tussle with Tkachuk AFTER THE WHISTLE” doesn’t make our team any better
It won’t help us win games

See Ryan Reaves and the NY Rangers to disprove all of your words.

Ryan Reeves isn’t why the Rangers win games
Suggesting that is laughable

I do think team toughness can matter
I don’t think adding ONE guy will make much difference- if any

I think it was said multple times 1 or 2.

Tuch helps his line Cozens can hold his own... But after that no one on offense has any kahunas

Team toughness comes from Leadership. If Dahls, Girgs or God Forbid Okie start dropping the gloves a few times others will follow their lead.

i get we don't want that, but I'm telling you this team is more then capable of standing up for themselves.

Ryan Reaves and his years playing for Pittsburgh disagree

Agreed with Peterka. It's only been 2 games but I like the way he's been crashing the net.

- The_Inkwell

Completely agree.

Sabres need to be team tough.
