Player Discussion Peyton Krebs C/LW -- Re-signed 2 years, $1.45m AAV

[Weltschmerz]

He is still only 23, maybe he just needed that other coach to help him what to do, like Risto needed Torts

I talked so much shit about PK over the summer. So proud of him finding his game, bringing more dimensions and really showing off his skill.

 

[Fjordy]

Good work Krebsy.

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

Might have been his best game this season.

Ive always believed.

Ive always believed.

Back to back great games

Ive always believed.

I wasnt always a believer, but I didn't want to trade him for scraps. I was actually fine with trying him at 4C, so I was not sad to see him still on the team as the 13th forward.

I'm still not 100% sold on him, but Ive always wanted him to succeed. He'll be a ratty bastard if he does.

 

[Sabresfansince1980]

Overly high expectations. He's a decent two-way FW with some grit in his game, but he's not especially talented at anything. His so-called best attribute was his "vision" which was really just a lot of ambitious passing that worked in juniors...not the NHL. He doesn't have a good shot, he's not physically imposing, he doesn't win many battles on the boards, and he still makes some dumb passes. IMO opinion he's pretty good in his own end and does well as a 4C that won't add much in pt production. I'll take a 25-30 pt 4C with some upside left. Nothing to complain about really.

This is still my assessment of Krebs, as long as he isn't put further up in the line-up.

In some way to try to get Cozens moving in the right direction, I wonder if working Krebs in on the PK a bit more would be helpful.

move cozens down to 4c or 3rd wing everything isn't about points per say but his level of play doesn't call for more ice time than McLeod or Krebs, he still is a good player just let him find his game again on the wing or with lesser assignments. He needs to get his momentum going and 2c isn't the position for that.

Is it weird that I'd like to see Krebs move up the lineup as a wing and see how that works out? There's just more opportunity for Troll-Wingers than Troll-Centers.

Yes. It weird.

I haven't paid any attention to him this year. Is he a Sabre long term?

Shouldn't be ..so that probably means yes.

How's it working out?

Depends. The offense just isn't developing from him. He's a pest, he's winning faceoffs and he's fine defensively.

He'll have a long career as a 3rd/4th line C

I'd rather McLeod as our 3C.....and I might rather Kozak as 4C.

I think we can stop the narrative of him being a pest. He may have been one over 2 years ago... no longer.
