Don't say that too loud šŸ˜€

The buzzards will come gunning for you.

Wonder if donnie mentioned that it's ok to hit the other team? Seams like the Sabres were hitting yesterday.


Also being destroyed...

So Ekholm, Saros...

2023 top 10 1st
2023 Flyers 2
2024 Sabres 3
UPL
Bryson

Would you do that?

- TheSabresTaco


I would, Adams wouldn't. Not sure Bryson has any value in a trade though.

I would hope sabres fans would show up at Adams door with pitch forks.
- sabresfan69

So you would trade Cozens for Wilson then? Because thats about where Savioe predicts to be.

Savoie is being compared to Brayden Point or Briere. Imagine having either of them.

He has more pts and a better +/- on a worse team than Ekholm.

Costs far less in cap and to acquire.

I just want a Schenn type. A bottom pairing vet D that can move up and down the lineup if needed.

I don't need to spend a first on a D that isn't a 2RD and is fvcking 33

- DirtyDan


Schenn would be a perfect, how about this trade.

Portillo, Johnson (assuming he tells mgnt he is not signing in bflo) and a second for Schenn and Demko.

Van gets a great goalie porspect and cap space, we get a solid D-man and a starting goalie and we really aint giving up that much...

No doubt. A total surprise to hear.
Lot of expectations put on him right since the draft.
Iā€™m sure dealing with all of that is part of whatever he now needs help with.

I understand if you don't want to pay a 1st round pick asking price on Ekholm, but if we're going to get veteran D, can it please be a defender that is actually good and doesn't stink?

This is why I said a Schenn type. I never suggested Schenn should be the target.

I do see though that 1 of those players is a +9 and the other is -2. The +9 being on the far worse team. Not sure how fancy stats tell that story.

Ekholm is a Dinosaur and would not be good for us.

All three prospects Savioe, Kulich and Ostlund are all starting to hit the top side of their development curve.

Absolutely amazing if we hit on 3 of 3.

Ya lets get 33 year old @ 6.25 over 3 years. For 2 firsts when we could have Chickenman for the same price

I agree, Ekholm isn't the target if we are trading away a 1st. He is about 5 years past the teams window.

MSG replaying the game right now. Quinn's goal was such great work from that line. Mitts has to work through a hit with the puck to chip it up the boards to Krebs who takes a solid hit from Kuch in order to get Quinn the puck. Quinn does his part with a beautiful finish. Cohesion, grit, effort, skill. Nice play.

When did I say give up 2 1st, never said it. I just said he would help make are top 4 stronger and you said he basically wouldn't. Which is basically wrong

The Skinner pass to spring Thompson was beautiful. Who know Skinner could pass?

Mitts is the Hockeybuzz whipping boy but he has turned it up a notch

He is definitely a great player but his age might put him past the window for this team to compete. Give me him 5 years ago

Never said he wouldn't. I said don't trade 2 firsts for an old geezer.

Said we don't need to aquire a guy to be our 3rd best d-man. Alls we need is Bryson gone and a competent 3LD..... to start

That goal is helped by the Tampa goaltender probably wanting that one back.

Last night was not his finest hour.

Counter point, it wouldnt hurt to have a Teppo-type veteran mentor on the backend with all the young guys

Well that's what he does, he pushes Joker down to 3rd pair with Lyubushkin and your 3LD is taken care of
