Let me ask you this. If Erik is out to start the season. Is there any other D on this team you want to see in over him?
- IndianaSabresFan

That's fair and probably would be my choice as well.

Thanks for the info.

Do you think Mittelstadt will likely play wing on L2 on Cozens' line during the reg. season?
- As_I_See_It

Seems like they want to try him centering Tuch and Greenway.

Idk if they're actually serious about VO on line 2 though

First goal wasn't UPL's fault. Second was poor rebound control. Both times he was playing deep in his net.


Nice shot, Gus

how long will that last by playing olofsson with cozens and peterka

6 games?
6 shifts?

I don't think it's a thing. He's firmly the 12th/13th forward.

makes more sense to promote krebs to the third line center and play casey with cozens and peterka IMO

Who's playing over him until Quinn gets back?

What Center is going to be burdened with him on his line?

Certainly not the 4th line.

Hope we get some answers Friday, and they don't just sit LOG.

I had just assumed this was the plan. May swap casey with tuch at some point if need be but idk if benson being here changes that or if they just really want casey to be a centre.

Idk Granato must have been pulling his hair out watching Olofsson in the d zone tonight. His reversals put his defensemen in jackpots where they're guaranteed to get lit up and their only move is to try a hard around for an icing. That's when he isn't just whiffing on a breakup attempt entirely

Do we expect any cuts between now and next game?

Odds on Skinner-Tage-Tuch opening night? 80%?

Amerks play Friday, so I'd expect some moves tomorrow.

oh yeah I'd book it. More interesting question is what's the likelihood they stay together.

I'm at 50/50

Not that this is a good sign of our depth.

I'd love to torch upl but i cant. levi maybe makes one more save, but that was gross defense.

I'm with you. I'd like to pin it on him, but just can't go there.

- TheSabresTaco

Agreed, but his positioning during the game was kinda rough. Im not a goalie guy so may be way off base but with Levi and even comrie to a lesser extent there seems to be more precision in their movement.

UPL constantly seems like he's fighting it.

- TheSabresTaco

I thought he was one of the better players with biro, rousek, johnson and benson

Well Benson has certainly earned his stay here

Clifton did not look good but its his first game i will concede. Still not a #4 never has been and probably never will be

There is no reason for olofsson to be on this team its not even mismanagement at this point its an abomination

Upl needs to be waived or traded its just going to be more of the same with him. High danger chances whatever, he flops around makes himself small. Again something management should have addressed but didn't. If they carry 3 goalies into the season im going to pull my hair out

It appears that alot of the issues the team had last year they will have again this year, not hard to imagine when you basically run it back

Levi needs to be the savior

oh yeah I'd book it. More interesting question is what's the likelihood they stay together.

- Michael Ghofrani

I'm higher, injuries aside.

Sign me up for a Benson-Cozens-Quinn 2nd line. Really wanted to see Benson with Cozens tonight. Hopefully we get that Friday.
