Is he your 2rw or 3rw. Concussed Larry is your 4rw.

Mojo. Cozens. Fast?

Where does Kahun go?

Second line gets smoked. That’s a Kym line. Lean or not, it won’t work. He won’t get on base.

If you dropped Mojo down a line and put another legit top 6 on L2, then I think you're doing something.

Kahun-Mojo-Fast? Or flip flop Kahun and Mojo?

And no way am I putting Cozens ahead of Krejci just yet.

I like Jesper Fast for a sneaky under the radar free agent signing

very good PK guy

- homiedclown

fast looks like a good choice...if you're gonna go rw, i like your craig smith idea better, and it would probably cost about $2m more to go from a bottom-six/lower-grade 3rd-liner in fast to a solid mid-sixer in smith

Then what are you Fasting about. Go get the smith. And find a 2c. Someone said Krajci (I’m sure I spelled that wrong). Is this the year they move him?

Skinner. Jack. Samson

Olo. Krejci. Smith.

Kahun. Mojo. Cozens (non-binary line, they all see time at center given the situation)

A new Larry. Lazer Larry. Concussed Larry

Super shot tall Larry
Vid-ya game Fatty Larry.

1? - what’s Krejci cost if they move him

2? - you could get fast too if you move concussed Larry. I don’t see that till maybe next year.

You have the below as the Sabres middle six:

skinner-cozens-johansson
casey-kahun-fast

This was the Bruins middle six this year, with production included:

Debrusk (19-16-35) Krejci (13-30-43) Kase (7-17-24)
Ritchie (9-12-21) Coyle (16-21-37) Kuraly (6-17-23)

Krejci was at .7 points per game and Coyle at .53 points per game.

That would mean their 2nd line Center would've had 55+ points and their 3rd line Center would've had 40+ points.

You think Cozens is getting 55+ points in his rookie season and Kahun is getting 40+ points playing Center for the first time in the NHL?

The odds of that happening are remote at best, and the size of that if is massive.

Why would they move Krejci when he's still producing?

Cap space. One year left on his deal. 3 ufa’s and a couple rfa’s ... they might need the room.

Retain half, take back a poopty player and throw in a prospect and mid round pick to a rebuilding team

Okposo half retained, rights to Pilut and a 4th for Anisimov. Idk

he is a .5 ppg player


how many years and how much do you offer craig smith, if they were planning on spending to the cap?

I would be curious what others would offer him as well

Never said that. I said he had a comically high shooting percentage that he is very unlikely to replicate (14%) considering he's a career 8.4% shooter

That's the kind of year that gets you paid $3m when you're a UFA instead of the $1m you're worth

- jcragcrumple



Good post

Shooting % is important, but fitting in the coaches scenario is also important

Sooooo

Olo. Jack. Samson.
Skinner. Not ready Larry. Too tall Larry
Mojo. Vid ya game fatty Larry. Kahun
New Larry. Lazer Larry. Concussed Larry.

Can’t wait: Kym Pegula presents Lean Larry Hockey. Your 2021 BUUUUUFFFFFAAALLLLO Larrys’! - we’ll sell you the whole seat, but you won’t be allowed to come.

The theme song for 2021 Larry hockey, Hit the road Jack by Ray Charles, cause he won’t wanna be back after another bottom 5 season of Larry filled hockey.

I’m going to cut the grass and dream of all the Larry’s

That doesn't mean it is a better middle six then the Bruins, even if a miracle occurs. It's simply not.

Are you paying Girgensons and Larsson a combined $5M-$6M next year and beyond? That's how much they're going to cost.

We have needed a 2C ever since we traded one of the better ones in the league. And I don’t think that will change. Sadly

I highly doubt girgs sings an nhl contract for over 2 million. Larsson under 2.5.

6 million- 3 each seems ridiculously high. Especially with covid discount pricing.
