Good trade target.
- IonSabres


I would hope that a draft pick alone would be enough to get a guy like Murphy. I think Bloom is guy that is come out of nowhere for us in the next couple of years. I know you have to give to get - I don't think Murphy qualifies as a blue-chip upgrade.

I think that's about right for Murphy, it was Bloom or Nadeau and unfortunately I like Nadeau.

Luke Schenn is a perfect partner for Power.

Stay at home, clear the crease and not afraid to get physical. Its just what this defense needs.

A 2nd might even get it done, if we can get a 2 year extension I would love to see him here

The rumor was that they were trying to get a first for Schenn. I bet someone gives it to them, which would be a shame.

With physical play and hitting definitely ended in the 80's and all , why would a team give up a 1st for the nhl all time defensive hitter?

Seams like the soft skilled guys would hold more value than some useless knuckle dragger?

Fitz proved hitting doesnt have anything to do with winning hockey games.

Am I reading this correctly?

4 points out of the wildcard with a game in hand? 2 games in hand on the Caps?

That 8 game losing streak killed them.

I've never seen Schenn as just a "knuckle dragger" like 46 is for us. I always thought he was a good all-around defenseman. The rumor is a first - I wouldn't pay that for him but everyone is desperate for D.

Killed? I think not, just slowed our success a bit.

50 points in 32 games is just....I don't even have the words. This is some 92-93 sabres poop happening. Skinner, Dahlin, Tuch, Cozens all pushing an 80-90+ point pace.
- The_Inkwell

I think this must’ve been what a tweet I saw somewhere last night was in reference to, Tage is Only the 4th Sabre to have 50 points as soon.

The duct tape must not have been strong enough to put him back together. Any time these teams talk about player safety they should just roll video of White or Tua coming back into games when they should have been in the locker room.

In the history of the team you're talking only Perreault, Robert, LaFontaine, and Mogilny with 100-point seasons. Hawerchuk had 97 or 99 I think in 92-93.

Can't have it both ways

730 career penalty minutes for luke shenn.

That's dragging knuckles.....

Interesting how you want to add a tough player that hits, after preaching the opposite for years 🤔

Nice to see that you've been listening to the board

Deep down the jets want wilson to lead this team.

#2OA.

The fans are with mike white probably, so coach has no choice if he's injured.

From what I read it is the owner that wants him, which is in some ways understandable given his draft status.

In other news, seeing Hyde on the field (even if not in a jersey) gives me hope that I probably shouldn't have.

Well, what do you know. When we stop giving up multiple cross-ice passes on front of the net every game like we were two weeks ago, the goaltending magically looks better. It was still a shooting gallery last night but at least they weren't shots that are 40% likely to score.

I don't know if I can watch 46 for the rest of the year. We get our heads caved in every time he is out there.

- Slump Buster


46, 45, or both?

McKenzie drops more balls than any receiver I can recall who gets that many plays per game.

Not sure what happened to Davis, but I find it odd that his production has fallen off a cliff at the same time the OC is new to the position.

- IonSabres


EXACTLY how many drops do u think McKenzie has this year?

This “dropped passes” nonsense is wildly exaggerated

Fair point. Both. At some point we are going to see one or both of them dressing over Clague and Pilut.

If only there was another Devon Toews laying around. Still can't believe that he was had for two seconds.
- Slump Buster

Ive used him and that trade as an example of what I expect the analytics department of trying to find.

They need to get an undervalued star like him at some point whether at D/G/F
