Any use for Anthony mantra for 3 Rd line
Big fast can bang
Healthy scratch again
Cost shouldn't be too high

id rather trade for prysk than mantra

I am probably the poster child for "play the kids" and I don't have a problem with benching the kids at all. The two of them have been terrible for 9 games. It's all part of the process - every young player needs it to happen at some point.
- Slump Buster

agreed they have been bad for a while

why didn't the coach mix it up during that funk though

cozen had 1 even strength point in the 4 games before the kids got benched

Would love it if they got him. Dude is tough and was a pure goal scorer in Jr.

we can afford it cap wise

if adams is holding onto krebs, casey and olofsson for another season there is no room for mantha on this roster though

(shrug) it has to be tough to know when he should let them work through it and when to take action. As we've all seen, the staff can be patient to a fault. I do wonder if Cozens dip in play could be hurting the other two. He was really dominant for a stretch last month and then nothing at even strength. I also wonder if these kids are hitting a bit of a wall as they are probably playing more than they ever have.

Any concern that he has worn out his welcome in 2 different organizations? I always like him when I see him play (which isn't much) - it just feels odd.

Would you take a chance on him if he came cheap. It’s only 1 year.

Savoie with 5 goals and 7 assists in his last 6 games. Can we recall him from bustville now?

The kid is an absolute monster who had a bad shoulder to start the season...

To the one guy who needs to hear he's not a bust, he's not a bust. He may need more development than some around here are willing to give him, but he's extremely talented and works his ass off.

Yeah. We've been expecting this for a couple years now.

Klingberg is a pending UFA with a 10 team no trade clause.

Chances Buffalo is part of that 10 team list?

Didn't Savoie start the season well and then hit a lull?

Wasn't he fully healthy to start the season, as he never needed offseason surgery?

I was thinking about him the other day - he would be a really interesting addition. His value has to have dropped a little bit given the year he is having on that terrible team.

Think Washington price would be low
If they hold no salary

I was thinking that he might have off-ice issues. The guy is obviously very talented. That trade didn't work out for either team, which is really surprising.

Rumors out there that the best the Ducks can expect for Klingberg may be a 3rd round pick and a lesser prospect, if even adding the prospect.

Since offer sheets aren't a thing, why not?

Well as predicted (originally by Dan) the roster juggling has begun.

Quinn was "loaned" to Rochester. So he'll be sitting tonight.

I'd do a third+ for him all day long, but I bet he gets a second from someone. Everyone wants D.

Curious if his deal having one more season after this at a $6.5M cap hit would impact the Sabres being interested or not.
