[Fjordy]

At least we can confirm he’s awake.

Zegras + Pinto

Keep Zegras at least a 1,000 miles away from this team

 

[zenthusiast]

Kev at dev camp writing DO NOT TRADE in sharpie under literally every name

 

[TehDoak]

Zucker will be better than Olofsson for only 250k more. And then next year, he's gone.

"Only 250k more than that terrible contract we couldn't move last year!"

Is the bar for this franchise that low?

"Well, this deal might be dumb, but its not as dumb as the last deal he did!"

 

[Fjordy]

Would Zegras really help that much?
A small consolation is that our rivals are improving so much we might as well wave the white flag anyway.

Keep Zegras at least a 1,000 miles away from this team

Why not? It seems like the guy can play defense and can improve his game.

It's a ~$1.5m overpay to get a vet 3LW to actually sign here for 1 season(if that), is it really worth getting this upset over?

 

[Gabrielor]

JJP, Tuch, Benson, Quinn, Zucker, and Greenway as the top 9 wingers is not going to instill a ton of confidence.

And @Gabrielor has to be right about Krebs breaking out at 3C. If not...

Don't worry, I'm a modest victor.

My cats sleep with their eyes open sometimes...

Zegras + Pinto

Pinto doesn't really fit anymore unless you're moving Krebs,

Zegras is kinda perfect for the hole currently open in the top 6...

Zucker filled the only top 6 role open. Our 6 top 9 wingers are set - Zegras doesn’t have a spot either, without Krebs moving.

Honestly I'd welcome him in.

 

[zenthusiast]

Someone convince Kev that Zegras is the son of one of his friends

Yes, there was some sarcasm in my response.

That said, he will contribute more than VO, and if he serves as competition with a rookie for a third-line spot, that's good.

Lastly, it ain't my money so idgaf. It's not like they're signing Stamkos.

My outrage glands are impacted anyway. Once I get em expressed, I'll be able to get pissed off again later.

Zucker isn't in the top 6. He's on the 3rd line.

TBD Thompson Tuch
Peterka Cozens Quinn
Zucker Krebs Benson
Malenstyn Lafferty/Greenway Kubel

The rookies are currently boned.

Oh I see - you’re in denial about Greenway - he’s still a top 9 winger to Adams.

Rousek has a one-way deal so he’s the 13th forward, not Kubel.

Good! Teach em some humility.

Yeah I mean I don't fault anyone for full on pessimism today. I'm ready to quit the Sabres.

The alleged plan involves a trade for a top 6 forward though.

I'd imagine they'd just waive Rousek; they still have 1 more move in them

He doesn’t look like he’s having a good day though.

I believe Zucker was the backup plan when those trades didn’t work out. Kubel wasn’t signed to be a 13th forward.

Zucker was put on the 4th line last year.

I don’t know what year you think it is

 

[RWatson29]

There’s zero chance rousek is making the team over NAK

Im super fond of that top 6, personally. With the amount of injuries a few of those players have had. (Tuch, Thompson, Quinn)
