What is annoying is this is poop they could have and probably should have been doing as far back as 2 seasons ago.

I'm just glad that they seem to have an actual vision this offseason (speed and hitting) vs last offseason when the vision was old and leader

Clear message and direction is we want to be faster and grittier. I like the direction. If we land a top 6 winger, I really like this team.

We have no one who can pinch into center if Krebs goes for a winger.

im not sure if im talking myself into keeping krebs, but i keep krebs over greenway any day of the week.

Krebs doesn’t fit.

Have you heard anything there, Philly and Buffalo were working something awhile back. Something made Danny change his mind.
- Buff36


Did you hear Danny got mad at Adams? They wanted 11.

Adams called him back after we moved to 14 and Danny said no to what ever the trade was

These Larry's will hit, but ultimately aren't better offensively or defensively. Hopefully tougher to play against. The bigger change is getting rid of their two worst defensive forwards and their 3rd line going from defensive liability to go-to defensive line.

Overplaying LOG felt like a 10 year problem.

I wonder if they're deciding on whether they need to trade Konecny because of his contract or trade Farabee because he's the less desirable player.
- TheSabresTaco


Konecny's pending contract has to be killing his trade value. He is the classic case of a guy that shouldn't be signed long-term given his age and mileage.

Zucker-McLoed-Benson would be a really nice 3rd line if they could get a 2LW

Malenstyn-Lafferty-NAK as a grinder line. They are close to having a roster that makes sense

Right now are you thinking

Peterka-Thompson-Tuch
Quinn-Cozens-xxx (a C or W & flip Coz to W)
Zucker-Mcloed-Benson
Mal-Laff-NAK


That second line still scares me a bit. Quinn needs to prove he can stay in the ice and Cozens needs to rebound.

Defense

Byram-Joker

Dahlin and Power don’t work.


Dahlin Joker was a better pairing than Dahlin Power.

Thinking it will be:

Dahlin Samuelsson
Byram Power
Clifton Joker

Greenway isn't the worst.

It makes sense, I just wonder how good it is. Mitts/Skinner for Zucker/McLeod is a big step down offensively.

Season is riding on the top 6 rebounding and the G's being well above average.

Yep, and Power and Bryam scoring at least 10 apiece imo. They likely need 40 goals from Dahlin, Power and Byram

I'd take it but idk if Adams has another move in him. If he gets a 2LW I'd absolutely love it obviously

Probably. I still like Ryan Johnson a lot as far as dependable. But Bryson actually played well at the end of the year.
