I know it’s crazy, but I’d trade Tage, Power, Cozens, Quinn and Peterka. None of them play defense. A really good team can carry one, maybe two guys on the roster that don’t play D. We have 5 high minute guys that can’t defend. Probably hold on to Quinn until his value can slightly rebound. The other 4 gotta go.

I would even trade Tuch tbh, was thinking about Tuch+ for Larkin.

Trade Cozens, Power and if you can, Samuelsson(or buy him out in the summer) and bridge Quinn and Peterka. Make them earn a contract. We MIGHT see better results, we might not but at least we have a team working for a contract instead of it being handed to them on a silver platter.

Lindy post game, This isn't about UPL, Lets be real

We could not get people off the ice because of bad decisions

There is a fine line with the young guys right now

7 goals 1 assist and a -5

more Olofsson 2.0
Yeah, he plays just like Olofsson. :laugh:

Its amazing how people frown at players who score goals when this team can't. Why would have wanted a guy who has 6 goals in 7 games and traded for pennies on the dollar.

Olofsson has 9 points in 12 games and 7 goals.

Hows Quinn doing?

Olofsson has more goals than
McLeod
Quinn
Krebs
Benson
Greenway

And tied with Cozens and 2 behind Tuch and Peterka in about 1/3 of the games.

Have you ever watched Laine play before?

I'm not frowning. Just laughing at a dumb comment. Look at Olofsson's start to the 22-23 season and tell me if it reminds you of anything?

Quinn on Vegas would probably have 20+ goals already

We don't need no stinking goals.

I prefer to watch Peterka, Cozens and Quinn float around the ice anyways.

Team is 3rd last and you think we don't need goal scorers :laugh:

It's kind of amazing just how bad this youth experiment ended up. I won't say I had sky high hopes going into the season, cautious optimism maybe, and a want to believe in this group... but holy shit.

It's also kinda amazing how quickly and catastrophically this unraveled the second they sniffed being over .500. These guys are literally allergic to success.

Granted it's mostly Adams fault for doling out those contracts and assembling a team of kids to play in the NHL, but f*** these guys and their hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars to be terrible at their jobs for 7 months.

We need to make moves, but man- it doesn't feel like a few trades are going to right this ship. The rot runs so deep. When ownership is one of your biggest issues, youre in big trouble. It just feels like this playoff drought is going to last a while.

Yeah, this whole youth movement has completely gone down the drain, it doesn't work that way. Your young players need to play alongside good players and vets, like other teams do.

Then why did you say Olofsson was dead weight last season? I thought it was all about the goals baby.

Laine is ripping it up on the PP and getting caved in at 5-on-5, something like 35% SF% would make him almost 10% worse than anyone on the Sabres. Even Quinn is around 45% SF% and we rip on him endlessly. Good on Patrik that things are going in that he's shooting, but his game for the majority of most tilts is lacking, badly.

What does Laine have to do with it, go and get normal players and vets instead of this whole shitty youth movement. Even Ottawa went and got 3-4 veterans, although they also have a young team. Our idiot only got Zucker and basically did not get good players in important positions, built a terrible defense and gave kids the keys to a place in the top 6. You have four kids in the top 6, Thompson and Tuch, this is crap that does not work. A normal team goes and gets Pesce, Chychrun, Roy, Meier and other players, where young players are cooked with vets and other good players. I look at all the teams that are in the playoff zone now and there is not a single youth team, except for Ottawa, which I already mentioned. But they have an elite Stutzle, Tkachuk, a stable Batherson. And we have Quinn, Peterka, Benson, Cozens, who is deteriorating. Krebs often ends up in the top 9, Kulich. It just does not work. This is the wrong team structure, Baker and Fairburn just said this yesterday.
