The 2024-2025 Roster Thread

[Fjordy]

Although I agree mostly (Rossi, Zegras still, Crouse, etc are all good ideas of yours), you do have to take in account that Kulich has looked great the last two games at center and something could be developing there. Can he keep it it up ?, stay at 2C ? We will see.

Krebs has played competent on L4, and Kozak/Walhberg could always get a look Bottom 6 if needed.

Upgrading Joker would be my priority. We could also take another look at a Johnson call up.

I agree, top 4 RD is a higher priority right now, we have some promising young players on offense that seem ready to shine. I just hope Ruff doesn't put Kulich in the press box for Cozens or Lafferty when Tage returns.

After last night and the game before I hope not although there will be ups and downs. Of course Lindy likes Laff's PK and they don't want Cozens to loose any more confidence by sending him to the press box..

For "now" this center spine works for me
Tage
Kulich
McLeod
Krebs/Laff

One other note on Rossi, remember the Sabres passed on him originally, could be Forton and others are not big fans.

I don't really understand what PK and Lafferty and his play on the second line have to do with it. If you need PK Lafferty, put him on the fourth line and use him on PK. We also have McLeod, Tuch and Malenstyn playing there PK.

It was a long time ago and we don't know the details. I only heard that Botterill was planning to take Rossi. Rossi seems to be doing just fine now, especially compared to Cozens.

So your answer of what’s ailing the Sabres is to bring in another midget in Rossi???

playing with consistently high iq is probably our biggest need, regardless of height

So we need to replace players with low hockey IQ with players with high hockey IQ, is that how I understand it?
