The kid can place a puck anywhere on a pass. Its everything else offensively he seems to struggle with. I think a change of scenery does him well. Hes more than 4th liner but I dont think thats here.

That's fair. He's a young center with potential, so I'd imagine he could garner a decent return if that's the route we want to go. We have too many forwards, so something has to give, I'm just not sure I'd pick him first is all.

Levi said he got through practice very well and feels good. If that doesn't change, I would expect him to dress as Luukkonen's back up tomorrow.

He was with Peterka and who else a few games back?
- DirtyDan


Olo and they posted a 61.5CF%
Had a 55.6% with Petey and Cozens

Yet a 33.1% with Girgs and Okposo

Proof is in the puddin on this one IMO.

It's a tough order, when he gets the chance to move up in the lineup, he has to produce instanty or go back down.

Krebs probably has some decent trade value, I’m sure a team would give him a shot at top 9 minutes.

With mitts looking like the next long term core extension, Krebs is looking less likely to be a Sabre past this season imo

Wouldn't mind that either, it feels like Petey and Quinn can be the shooters, he's just got to find them.
- QuinnFan

it's either that or flank him with skinner and one of them

But a 40% xGF. They gave up 1 and didn't score.

Tiny sample sizes, but it's all we have.

Krebs + LOG was been dreadful. 2 scopring chances for, 21 against. 1 high danger for, 14 against.

Isn't the point of xGF/xGA that in a larger sample those numbers will start aligning? Log line doesn't work, agreed.

I can't wait to see Skinner and Tage back together, I thought he was a better accent than Greenway. What do you think of GW on the top line?

The 49ers pass rush with Young and Bosa not terrifying at all.

Bears acquired EDGE Montez Sweat from the Commanders in exchange for a 2024 second-round draft pick.
Sweat, 27, was in the final year of his contract with the Commanders. The Bears bolster their defensive line with the trade. Through Week 8, Chicago has Pro Football Focus’ worst pass rushing grade. The team’s ten total sacks rank dead last in the league by a large margin. Sweat, meanwile, is one of seven players in the league with at least five sacks in each of the past five seasons. This could be the first move in a rebuild for the Commanders under the team’s new ownership.

It is October 31st, 3:31pm and Ukko Pekka Luukkonen has the best save percentage of any goalie on the roster. Just wanted to post a reminder.

Stay warm folks, the white stuff is a fallin.

I didnt call him a saviour. And I said at the beginning of the year expecting to play him even 40+ games is a disaster waiting to happen. Especially when your other goalies aren't proven to be competent over long stretches.

We didnt play great and he sure didnt help. Own goal to start the game, 1 from the corner for the game winner. Boys up front didn't play great but they played well enough for the win had Levi made the easy saves. I get hes a rookie but when you play him like the starter you better expect the criticism

- DirtyDan


Never said you called him a savior.

I guess we watched different games.

Yeah, definitely help. Guess it's him and a 5th for a 3rd from Buffalo.

3-3 with 15 minutes left and lets in the game winning goal from the frankin corner. No excuse for that to happen other than hes not ready.

Bills are lucky to have Beane.

Slam dunk trade.

Douglas is big, physical and fast and plays with an edge

Rather have had Jaylon Johnson from Chicago. Hopefully Douglas can regain his form
