Sabres called me for consultation! I got KA’s ear and our first order of business is to offer sheet Tanner Jeanot. I told him to grow a pair.

Krebs drop passing it to the Blue Jackets.

If there’s a team who thinks he’s a top 6 center he should be a trade chip waaaaayyu before Mittelstadt

Hopefully they have learned that you can't go 2 8 2 after the trade deadline, losing to lesser teams, and expect to make the playoffs

Until the last 3 months not really, and am glad he is playing well. Pretty sure I said awhile back I am eating some crow on him. Is there a point to you bringing it up again.

Mittelstadt’s first full 3 NHL seasons:

156 games played- 0.375 PPG

Krebs first 135 NHL games played- 0.362 PPG.

Mittelstadt played another roughly 60 NHL games through his age 23/24 seasons before he figured it out.

Just saying

Krebs has a lot more compete in him than Mitts did at the same age.

I don’t see why Krebs can’t make the same steps Casey has into becoming a Swiss Army knife top 9 forward.

The Sabres very well could be a 4 line deep tornado in a couple of years.

Meanwhile, Savoie has 1 + 2 tonight in Game 1 of their second round series over Moose Jaw

Krebs is the only guy to stick with Dahlin during his very intense pre-game workouts.

You could see that Krebs came into the season after a serious offseason regimen.

If he keeps working that hard, good things will happen.

I fear he doesn’t develop offensively.

I’m absolutely fine with him being a bottom 6 pest type who will make a wow play every once in a while but he could be a sell while there’s still a lot of upside candidate

Thanks for one of many really encouraging PMS, if you were one of them. I didn't have time to read thru all of them.

You might be right. You can see the ability and he's effective as a 4C. Worst case, a better Girgs.
