Well Vic and Eichel had a decent 54gms together before Eichel got hurt. Olofsson had 42pts in 54gms with Eichel.

Sure, Vic to Vegas for Theodore or Whitecloud. Somehow I think Vegas passes.

Korczak Mirmarnov and a few others. Wasn't even thinking Theodore although I would give up anything that Didn't have Dahlin Tage Cozens Power Tuch names involved.

I want a pick with Korczak. Vic scores 20 every year, probably 30 this year. This kid has zero NHL games.

You caused the meltdown. Grow up.

I warned you several times. Grow up.

I was on the ice coaching my kid. I can’t be on here 24/7 nor should I. How come it’s always you arguing with someone? You and Fitz? You and Boss?

Common denominator here…

Stripes, it's a tough job being a Mod, I get it.

Have you noticed 34 8nvolved in every meltdown from multiple posters? If not, go re-read the pas5 7 pages.

Well of course, I would even retain 50% on Olofsson, maybe you sneak Korczak and there 1st or another pick

My fear is the East just got 1/2 of the Wests good players. All of our competition for a playoff spot got a major upgrade. Chychrun didn’t have a clause and went for way less than sticker price.
East is stacked now. It will be an even bigger challenge to make the playoffs this and next year.
It could be mid 90’s to get a wild card spot moving forward.
We will need upgrades on defense, possibly 2
A real goalie
A winger for Cozens
Some grit and size on bottom 6

Our GM is seemingly a sleep at the wheel.
“Not willing to give up assets to rebuild” is obviously antiquated logic.

I would have taken Nino for a 2024 2nd, put him on Cozens Wing for a run this year.

I could add several lines to your list. He is sitting in his hands while his peers go to town. I know we don’t need to panic buy but many very good fits have slipped away for very reasonable asking prices. 2nd and 3rds don’t help us make the playoffs the next 3 years. Odds are they don’t help us at all. Neither do 15th overall picks.

It’s also confusing why Portillo just slipped away. We are code red on needing goalies. Does he hate Power, or did our GM sit on his hands on this one too?

Well this year that 15th pick could really help us. I understand and I am trying to be more calm. Everyone knows what I think, so I hope he does something to help by 3 pm. I think he missed the boat, but just have to see for know.

Portillo was never going to be a Sabre. Any high NCAA pick needs to be thoroughly vetted. The NHL should really come up with a better solution.

I agree. It’s a broken system currently. Should be s mandatory RFA period even if they opt to finish college, or if they refuse to sign with the team who drafted them, the team who signs them has to pay a 1st to the draft team. That would end the BS quickly

Kinda had one of those Puke Birbs, but I was able to get it back down. But left that nasty taste in my Mouth. Like the Sabres do when they play at home.

Yeah even 2 more wins at home and there in the playoffs. 16 losses at home is unacceptable
