Thompson, Tuch, Skinner having career years….Cozens a picture of what is to come. The rest showing very little growth. Dahlin and Power irreplaceable. Let’s waste everything that they have accomplished by doing NOTHING! A playoff round would do these kids wonders….but Adams………

Agree with everything but the bold

Quinn is progressing nicely
Mitts has looked like a real 50 point NHL player which is nice
JJ is streaky but that was expected

Jost was a good pickup

But the rest agreed

Samuelsson looked good, had a rough month or 2. But other than last night I thought hes been great as of late. Real physical against Tampa and Florida.

I seriously find it unbelievable that this team has its future top 3 centers (72,19,24) and top 2 stud D men and this lame ass GM won’t go out and get a good goalie or some support

Like what exactly is he waiting on? Is he seriously hedging everything on Levi?

Seems like it. Everything he's done is a bridge to 24/25. That's the plan and he's sticking to it.

You have to be a KA guy to have an extension beyond next year.

Why take risks when ownership will reward you for not taking them?

Good post

Imagine watching the poopshow yesterday, missing 2 of the good 5 players on this team and screaming for a defenseman and a goalie... locks us into a playoff spot

😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

Fire Adams he doesn't know anything about the Stanley cup playoffs or how to win.

He had two good games lately. Florida was his best game of the season. I think he's been awful all year though. Totally carried by Dahlin. I certainly think he has a good future, but he has no business on a top pair this season or next most likely. He's been a terrible penalty killer almost the entire season. I haven't seen his cobra, viper, Rattlesnake, anaconda stick everyone used to talk about at all this season.

That's fine, just predicting what they are going to do to handle the roster. 1 night issue.

Quinn and JJ are 20/21 year old rookies. They have shown flashes of potential and being good.

UPL is a bit older and has shown nothing at all

Mitts and Jost have been solid.

The core / youngins have shown progress

I agree, I would like to see the young core get rewarded a bit here.

Bring in a player who can help now and in the future

Has anyone actually thought of what pieces they might want back for Chychrun. If they want a young plug and play D man or a D prospect they can sign. Maybe we don't have the exact pieces. There's a few trades that went down that Buffalo didn't have the right stuff or not willing to give up that stuff even if they wanted to go ahead with a trade.

We're going to get to a point, sooner rather than later, where people will be paying more for al a carte services than they did for regular cable.
