No.Found out recently that Olivier has been with y'all for three seasons and CBJ fans never picked up his "Biloxi Bull" nickname. I need you guys to get on that ASAP!

His teammates call him Ollie, so I guess I have kinda stuck with that.Found out recently that Olivier has been with y'all for three seasons and CBJ fans never picked up his "Biloxi Bull" nickname. I need you guys to get on that ASAP!
It's not like he grew up in Mississippi. He was just born there because his dad was playing. Also we're Ohioans--what do we care about the South?Found out recently that Olivier has been with y'all for three seasons and CBJ fans never picked up his "Biloxi Bull" nickname.

our team is literally named after a group of fellas who bullied some confederatesIt's not like he grew up in Mississippi. He was just born there because his dad was playing. Also we're Ohioans--what do we care about the South?
Lancaster native William Tecumseh Sherman did not burn Atlanta for me to acknowledge a Quebecois hockey player was born in Mississippi.our team is literally named after a group of fellas who bullied some confederates
But but but Cole Sillinger!It's not like he grew up in Mississippi. He was just born there because his dad was playing. Also we're Ohioans--what do we care about the South?

Doesn't Monahan and an extended Nelson block the young centers vs bridge to the kids?
Does 33 year old Nelson sign a 2 year deal? I have some doubtsIf you could sign Nelson to a 2 year deal, then they'd be in position to hand off center duties to Fantilli at age 22, which sounds about right to my mind. But of course the club's plan, we can assume, is to keep Fantilli at center throughout.
At this point I am read to move on from Sillinger. Quality guy with more potential still, but I think he has been passed by LDBB already and will be passed by Lindstrom quickly as well (pending health). Finding an upgrade on D or a legit wing to play with Fantilli and bring out his full potential are more valuable to the team now and into the future. Plus Sillinger is probably the odd man out once KJ, Mo, Marchy, Vronk and a few others get paid.I really think we’re fine at center right now. Monahan being out sucks but he’ll be back. Long term it seems like LDBB can play. Hopefully Lindstrom is able to play again.
I think we need a top 6 winger and another top 4 D, as well as a goalie (although Elvis may change things if he continues like this).
I think LDBB could pass Sillinger, but he hasn’t yet. The eye test says he looks like he can play, but the shots for/against and possession metrics leave a bit to be desired. He will improve in those areas though.At this point I am read to move on from Sillinger. Quality guy with more potential still, but I think he has been passed by LDBB already
For how badly this team needs some quality D depth, Sillinger is exactly the type of player you trade. He does plenty of things well but his finishing is so bad but that I don't really care if we keep him or not long term. You're also correct that long term, there are plenty of other players that make the difference over him.At this point I am read to move on from Sillinger.

I think Buffalo does Owen Power for that, especially if they are drafting 1st overall. Or alternatively maybe they trade us #1 and let us take Schaeffer. (A man can Dream). Unless you can find something another team that is as unbalanced the D trade probably has to wait until the offseason as nobody in the playoff hunt is going to offload a roster a D of that quality,For how badly this team needs some quality D depth, Sillinger is exactly the type of player you trade.

Provorov is another that is not going to be worth the contract he gets. If they trade Ivan for a 1st + and then shop Sillinger along with two 1sts, what type of defenseman can they get in return?
So where do you slot Owen Power, then? An offensive LHD making 8 mill a year, who's excellent at exits but dreadful at entries, who plays extremely soft and small for all that he's 6'6".I think Buffalo does Owen Power for that, especially if they are drafting 1st overall.

I wouldn't trade that for Owen Power.I think Buffalo does Owen Power for that, especially if they are drafting 1st overall. Or alternatively maybe they trade us #1 and let us take Schaeffer.

Might not be a fit, but he is the type of high ceiling D that I could see that package landing. He was the first example that came to mind. Personally, I Could see Mateychuk slide to the right side and move up with Zach while Fabbro goes back to the second pair with Power to bring out the best of his offensive game. I think there is a ton of untapped potential in Owen in every aspect of the game and that his development has been impaired badly in BuffaloSo where do you slot Owen Power, then?
