What exactly did Krebs earn with his 4 goals?

I’d offer him the minimum possible
- Boss34

Trade him in a package for an upgrade.

is krebs your new reinhart?

at least he throws more than a purse at the visitors unlike most of this soft core
- homiedclown

Reinhart’s lowest goal total was 17….

I don’t really want to pay krebs to be a tough guy. He really hasn’t earned much…

Sometimes you pay a little more to add a 2nd year. That's probably part of the conversation.

Yeah, sounds like they want him to sign his QO.

Pegula is just a cheapskate.
- QuinnFan

17 pts in 80 games in a contract year. Didn't show nuthing when elevated in the lineup.

That’s a good point. I don’t mind krebs, he is feisty. I’ve just wanted more from him and I don’t know if it’s the coaching or the player…

Really No rush to sign Krebs, be surprised if he's here come Camp.

He's become obsolete

Saw Chad tweeted the same. Seems more likely that they have an offer in the 1-1.3 range out there.

Should be an easy one to get done, but maybe that's why it gets put off.
- Lunaion

Wonder if Krebs may be asking for a trade as well. Just speculation, but he's the odd man out right now. Being a healthy scratch for the year puts a pretty large stopper on his development and could derail his career...so I get it.

I know folks don't like him here, but he's got talent and value.

I rather see Kulich.

Adams doesn't need more Bottom 9 players.
He needs to find his truly Elite players for L1.
- IonSabres

Can't argue there. I'm more bargain bin shopping as I don't think Adams has the cajónes to trade for a legitimate top line talent.

what did anyone expect him to do with girgensbust and okposlow?

- DirtyDan

you mean when he got bumped up to play with an 18 year old and olofsson?

- DirtyDan

When did that happen? He got 2 games with Skinner and Peterka for 32 mins...if that's the end all be all, then so be it, get rid of the kid. But remember, when he did actually get time higher up in the lineup in 21-22, he had 22pts in 48games for us.

Either you're saying he got significantly worse OR being with Olo, Girgs, Okposo and Jost isn't the best opportunity. I'd go with the later personally.

Go ppg and carry us to the promised land?

His second most time spent on a line was with JJ and Benson.

The 95 minutes with Zem and Okposo they had 0GF and 2GA

So you're of the mind he got massively worse from the 21-22 season, correct?

If not, why the polar opposite results if linemates weren't the issue?

He didn't get better.... His success in 21-22 came on the PP. 10 pts of those 22.

What happened when the rest of the team was having career offensive years in 22-23?

- homiedclown

You also make a valid point. I think I’m with Ion, package and trade. But that mean Adam’s has to get off the boat and have more conversations that lead to nowhere

Even with the PP points completely taken off, he's still at a better clip then vs now. So what else was it?

(I'm trying desperately to get you to admit that playing with Okposo and Girgs is going to be a losing venture no matter what. You shouldn't fight me here.)

Nice! Said about a month ago I heard Strbak had added about 10 pounds. Nice to hear he put on another 5 plus that. Kid should be fun to Watch, gonna be our Jay McKee

his play relegated him to 4th line duties. He had opportunities to elevate his game on the offensive side, he did not.

He still has promise and this should be his last year to prove it

Really hope you're right! Would be nice to bring in a stalwart righty.

Let's back it up a step then and ask this simply:

Is any player going to succeed when you're playing the most with Olo, Girgs, Okposo and Jost?

(The only answer is "NOOOOOOOO". No qualifiers necessary. The correct statement is that he had no ability to improve his offensive side, at all, ever, since 21-22.)

I am not opposed to moving him

a plus 2 player that is ok on pk playing 12 minutes a night was not one of the top 12 reasons why we did not sniff the playoffs last season though

- DirtyDan

did you expect him to leap over casey, cozens or tage?

he was 4th on current sabres forwards with plus 2 last year

another whipping boy, greenway was plus 11

another whipping boy, tuch, was plus 9
