How many playoff teams are putting Jokiharju in their top-4? None.
- Hank Balling


He isn’t a bonafide top 4 guy, but serviceable RHD will always have value.

The ghost of Marc Staal was playing next to Brandon Montour last year on a team that went to the cup final.

Could do a lot worse than Joker. But with Clifton here, you’re right that he may be pushed out

Biden blames Trump on Navakny's death



- homiedclown

When Trump was president
-Inflation was 2%
-Middle East was peaceful
-Border was protected
-Putin wasn't attacking anyone
-Gas in Florida was 2 dollars a gallon and is now 3.50

People need to wake up. The moment Biden became president USA started funding wars all over the globe.

The Biden family took millions from Russia and China. Thats a fact. What did these countries get for their money?

Isnt world peace worth a few mean tweets?

It's getting really messed up to, lot of stuff happening not being told to the public. Lot of sh!t happening at our bases in Iraq and Syria, more people getting hurt than there reporting. Joe needs to either pull them out, or we need to start F@cking some people up and stop the Attacks. We Don't Want To Escalate sh!t is over, they attacked first. They should just pull them out if they aren't gonna let them fight. Bunch of Sh!t and a Waste of a lot of Lives. Bunch of my Friends died for a bunch of BullSh!t! Disgusted with our Government

This isn’t a dream or a secret buddy, it’s literally been being done since Vietnam by every US President.

Remember how the USA wasn’t actually in any wars in the 90’s but NATO miraculously was? Yeah we know dude.

Walker would be at the bottom of my list.

Not familiar with Roy.

Tanev might be a decent stop gap. Hes 35 at the end of the year. We have the ammunition. No reason not to aim higher imo.

I'm behind and back reading...sorry if newer posts covered this.
If Kevyn had a GD brain, which we are all pretty sure it's more a box of rocks up there, he would realize that he actually needs two (2) Top 4 D's. Could be 1 each of RhD and LhD, or 2 RhD's.
- The first need is for Dahlin's long-term partner
- The second need is for Power's short-term partner. IMO Tanev is the perfect partner here who should be able to "coach" Power into more of a physical, defensively dominant blueliner. 2 years here. Could Joker straight up or with a "+" like a 2025 2nd work here for the trade return?

Let RyJo bake at 3LhD with Cliffy for those 2 years and then slide into 2RhD towards the end of Tanev's contract. Hopefully Novikov is ready to replace Cliffy at that point.

The question is who is Dahlin's new Partner...I guess either RhD or LhD is viable. I would like a defesively reliable with some snarl as my target. Who?

That strategy frees up Sammy and Joker as trade bait.

I think we need to trade Samuelsson.

Spend that cash on this Matt Roy guy.

- DirtyDan


Samuelsson is practically untradable in my opinion. Injury prone and overpaid. If he was moved, Buffalo would need to retain salary or overpay to make a trade work. Another horrible contract given out by our inept GM

There is a small hope that an nhl coaching staff and a true top 4 vet could do wonders for the likes of samuelsson, dahlin and power

The organization has done less than zero to help these kids develop into the players they could be…. They’ve done nothing to put them in a position to succeed

They fell out of the race before they figured it out. Was it worth sacrificing a season?

Looks that way, and that will be the New rallying cry. See we found our Goalie, even though it's not the phenom

Levi has been solid since being sent back down and was good in his last several starts in Buffalo too.

Only reason he’s on the farm is because it allows him to play more games. There is a long list of goaltenders who have played several starts this year that Levi has leaped already.

For a 21 year old kid, it’s impressive

Kochetkov is a tad older of course and was picked in the 2nd round

if levi does what he is doing next year in the nhl, that will be impressive

right now Kochetkov on this season
2.46 gaa
.905 save percentage

he had similar numbers last season with a slightly better save percentage


of course he plays for the canes, a better team

He's 22.

Last 5 NHL games: .925, .808, .970, .867, .840

AHL is the best place for him.
