Leaks was a poor word choice I guess:

Cozens - calling the team soft and the GM publicly calling him out for it
Mitts - 36 said he is confused with the direction of the team and leaning towards not resigning
Krebs - Early on there was noise he wanted different linemates, add in Mark Stone calling out Buffalo for not handling Krebs correctly
Olo - asking for a trade, then saying he didnt ask for one but expected a trade
The rest, Comrie has made it clear he is upset, based off his comments, being in the AHL I assumed Bryson and Jost are pissed as well.

I wonder how many players internally voiced concerns, and I would bet the concerns began during training camp.

- washedup20

Comrie, Jost, Bryson cleared waivers. No one wants them so they should be very happy to be over paid AHL players.
Epic mis-management, but no one wants them.
I feel for Krebs. I doubt when he was dealt to Buffalo he imagined in his 3rd year he would be stuck in a 3rd line role.
Mitts probably won’t sign. He would get a much better offer outside of Buffalo. He also sees the writing on the wall on how the roster is shaping up. It may depend on how we shape up the 3rd line. If he’s stuck playing with that abomination of wasted size Greenway, I’d walk too.
Cozens needs to seek some counseling. Not kidding. It’s worked miracles for other players. It’s a big field in sports medicine now. Sports psychology.

Do you think Adams will sell at the deadline at all?
- washedup20

Yes, he will sell 1/2 priced nachos when we are officially eliminated from the playoffs

I would not pay Mitts 7-8 mill a year for 3rd line center.

All offense, all the time. Budget players on their backend.

Nacho's will never be half price, you will just get a half order for the same price.

Touche, as for the bolded, I think that's a great idea, he needs it.

sucks to suck. also, calling out a group of players (cozens) vastly underperforming is well deserved and im glad he shoved it in Kevo's mouth. "I understand the comment. I don’t like it" (frank) off.

He's more than that. Personally speaking, and you see his vast utility on this roster. The truest definition of a top 9 player. He can truly play all 9 positions. Getting him around 6 would be great. 8? I don't think he brings 8, as an RFA. He won't make more than Thompson. I can guarantee you that.

That core hasn't shown the mettle when the games get hard. Now the bottom will fall out.

The bottom half of their roster will be as milquetoast as it gets. Treliving isn't any better than Adams.

I think the conversation starts at cozen's 7.1 per year salary

if Casey likes it here, could see a 5 year deal at that price as the sabres offer

Adams should used Zacha/Kempe as comps...but his own signings of Cozens and Tage really reduce any trace of leverage.

I really don't think so. I'll plant my flag in the 6.5 range.

You seem excessively infatuated by being a Pedophile.

Eric Bieniemy leaves the chiefs as OC last year to go to Washington as an OC to enhance his chance to get a head coach job. Does he go back to KC now?

Per Paul Hamilton:

Skinner Thompson Tuch
Benson Mittelstadt Okposo
Peterka Cozens Quinn
Girgensons Krebs Robinson

Dahlin Jokiharju
Power E. Johnson
Samuelsson Clifton
R. Johnson


Greenway and Olo missing, Mitts is loving life, Adams could probably get him under 5 with those linemates.

Would people trade Savoie for a young top 4 defensemen?





Rosen

Kulich

Ostlund

Savoie



I would trade one of them away for a top 4 defender and Savoie I like the least given his injuries.

I feel like he has the most trade value that I would let go. I wouldn't trade Kulich or Ostlund(without an offer that is worth it) Rosen probably doesn't get you what you would want in the top 4.
