The 2024-2025 Roster Thread

[jd1970]

I don't think there should have been any expectations that a deal was going to get done before the holiday freeze. Adams is pretty high on character and doing the "right things" which would most likely include not ripping someone away from their family before the holidays.

It's true...he likes helping other teams and landing players in sofr spots.
It was so sweet what he did for Okposo...sigh.

I feel I'm in the minority of thinking that Cozens shouldn't be moved until the offseason at the earliest.
I am still holding hope he breaks out, the last few weeks I've seen more of the way I want him playing than in the previous 10 months

I'm with you. Until they surround the kid with vets and set him up for success then you have no idea what he can become. Throwing out a bunch of kids on the ice and telling them to figure it the f*** out is stupid. And I'm someone that actually bought in when it worked in brief glimpses over the past couple years.

Cozens was actually trending on X earlier, and if you checked it out you'd see fans from 30 other fan bases trying to figure out a way to acquire him. That's should tell you everything there is to know. Our perception of our own players is warped because we suck.

That being said, we need to do something fix the roster, there's too many fragile kids and it's broken. Quinn is issue #1 for me,I can't figure out wtf happened to this kid. He showed flashes of rare talent.

I think Quinn will come around. It's Peterka I'm most worried about...if he's not scoring he's invisible or worse. At least Quinn is responsible in his own zone and can PK.

If this was last year I'd agree, in fact I posted about selling high on JJ a few times. He would immediately go on a heater and I'd feel stupid. But this year Quinn is as lost as any player I've ever seen:

Quinn is playing worse than any Sabre since Johan Larsson struggled through his crippled arm season.

I get the concerns about Peterka, he's been streaky the last couple years and right now he's ice cold. But seriously, what the hell happened with Quinn?

I’m curious about his NHL edge stats: he looks slower and weaker than last season. Just by the naked eye, he looks like the least physically prepared player I’ve ever witnessed. Is he? I don’t know. I don’t think this is the same player who came back from mono decided to get into a fight just to show that he could. Seriously, what the f*** did this guy do all summer? The John Tucker and Dave Andreychuk training?

I was thinking more along the lines of the Phil Kessel off-season program

hey guys remember when we traded for Frolik lol? Fun times....

Or other more recent master moves like Stillman, Robinson, and Jost.

Jost v1 or v2? Jk they both sucked.

The only offer you'd accept for a dogshit player on a long expensive deal, and a dogshit defenseman, is a defenseman that has won or finished 2nd in norris voting 3 of the last 4 years?

LMFAO

Nashville doesn't have much to even be interested in to begin with. So regardless of what people want to believe about Cozens, he is supposedly highly sought after and frankly I don't want to trade him. But if I get my socks knocked off it can change. Thing is, Buffalo has zero need for prospects, draft picks and random cap dumps.

You have 3 pieces that could interest us

Forsburg
Josi
Big Gap
Novak

ROR would be a nice depth piece to grab but I highly doubt that would ever happen

 

[Fjordy]

Nothing

Thank the lord Adams is locked out of making a move. Hopefully he gets his walking papers for Christmas.

You are setting yourself up to be let down
