Why do we want a lazy, expensive, long term commitment at.... third line
- TheSabresTaco

Do we know categorically that Cozens is a better 2C (emphasis on C) than PLD. Putting the Dubois douchiness aside for a second

Well, at that retention rate, he isn't expensive. You're hoping Lindy can exhort more effort basically. I wouldn't hate it, wouldn't be overjoyed, would be a little nervous...so I get where you're coming from. There's little to no chance that 50% retention happens so it's nonsense anyways. Just making conversation.

Big fan of the Chandler idea. Do it.
- TheSabresTaco

Yeah same

Plus penalty killer, was apart of the best shutdown line in hockey in Minnesota for two years, good defensive metrics.

Stop playing Greenway in the top 6 and he should never see the light of day on the PP ever again and he will be a fan favourite if utilized correctly.

Thats a terrible 3rd line.

Kulich who doesnt know where his own end is, PLD who couldnt care where it is and Greenway who only knows how to play in his own end.

3C does seem to be the big hole here. Love that LOG Line being extra loggish.

Younger, on a worse team, out produced PLD. Played better in his won end.

We know.

Takes lead in 3rd period of game 7... puts out the 4th line. Game tied a minute later.

So dollars to dollars, I'm paying PLD *checks notes* 8.75M for 3 years then 4.25 for 4 years more.

(frank) no, Michael Scott style, and he's a (frank)ing loser.

LA is going Daffy Duck gif over this deal, and the Sabres knowingly take a poop in their own drinking water.
- TheSabresTaco

If only you had this contempt for the Sabres ownership and GM, who are significantly worse at their roles than PLD.

PLD is giving some people on here Trump derangement syndrome.

PLD had 32 even strength points and 4 GWGs this season

Cozens had 34 even strength points and 1 GWG this season

one stinks, the other is the savior

PLD is 24 years old and has been on 3 teams already and said he won't resign with one after he said he wanted to go to a Canadian team and cried to get traded from the other. No thank you

One of these guys is supposedly not even worth $4.25m. The other is already signed by the Sabres for $7+

Prob unpopular, but why take on that contract PLD, why not get Max Domi for a 3rd line center? Cheaper and younger and can play a tough game with some added scoring touch.

People called Eichel a cancer until he wasn't anymore. PLD might be the biggest chode on the planet, but if you're getting 60 points a year for $4.25m, then let him chode away
- Hank Balling

It would be $8.75M per for the first 3 seasons.

- DirtyDan

I just think it's funny that Cozens is not a problem/good value at $7+ but PLD somehow wouldn't be worth $4.25

Yasssssssssss

Edit: That's assuming little to no retention. I wouldn't mind a mil or two max, but no 50% retention or it makes it nonsensical.

The article explained why Chicago wouldn't need Buffalo to retain any salary.
