[NotABadPeriod]

I want whatever roster player we add to have a little bit of nasty to his game.

Ahh..someone to challenge Benson in PIMs

Seriously though…with the way officials won’t let the Sabres play…a gritty guy is just going to spend all game in the penalty box while we lose 6-2

Why is Johnson on the block? I like him. He's never going to be a star but he'd be a great #4/5.

EJ IS not ryjo

Is one of the Spider-men here Granato pointing at RJ to sit because EJ sucks at hockey?

Novak. They are out of program guys. They have to move on to other random players now.

I'm all in on Brandon Duhaime if Minny makes him available. When KO and Girgs go, they'll desperately need an energy or grinder line. He's also a heart and soul guy, something the kids could desperately use in the room.

I'd like to see how a Robinson-Krebs-Duhaime combo looks down the stretch and if it might be a viable solution for next year.

I don't see us adding a pending UFA. I'd go after Dewar though.

Anyone know if Adams has asked Okposo if he wants to be traded?

Last kick at the can?

he's near the top of my realistic off-season additions.

Okposo was asked and he said (paraphrased) "we're on the same page and I'll leave it at that."

 

[BG82]

Hypothetically if we beat Jets and Toronto leading up to the deadline do we still sell ... The team is making this a decision

Hes going to get traded, get booed upon return, which will reignite players vs fans drama

There’s almost no scenario in which he gets booed.

 

[buffalowing88]

You sure they're not talking about Erik Johnson?

They were, I'm stupid smh.

EJ IS not ryjo

Yeahhhh, I'm an idiot haha. I entirely forgot about EJ. Which probably says enough about him.

 

[Chainshot]

Roslovic is my off the wall prediction

Roslovic is my pat answer in any thread asking for Boone Jenner.

“But this isn’t the easiest time of year to do that. If you’re talking about trying to look for a player that could grow with us and has a year, two or three left on the contract, a team doesn’t want to give that player up at this time of year. Some of those are conversations that get pushed to the offseason. ”

-Adams via the Athletic today

Got my Adams deadline BINGO started off strong with six days to go

I have doubts that even playing well that they have little that anyone is going to be interested in.

10 points out, two games in hand on the team we’re trying to catch. We’re not dead boys.

Hes not wrong though

I would think that Okposo knows he will not be a top 9 guy on another team in a playoff stretch and might not even see the ice at all, so my guess is that Okposo will most likely play his final NHL game on 4/15/24 against Tampa(injuries not withstanding).

While this is true, the teams between us and Tampa/Detroit all have games in hand on us. Washington is 3 points ahead of us with 2 in hand. We're even with Pittsburgh, and they have 3 in hand over us and FIVE in hand over Tampa.

We're not dead......but we're trying to climb Mt. Everest while dressed for the beach.

Pegula laid off all the sherpas because he wanted a more efficient climb

It's not the distance it's the fact that you need to jump 5 teams to get there.

It's possible Tampa could run bad and we can run hot.

It's not really possible that the 4 other teams ahead of us will all be 4+ points worse than us down stretch. Especially considering they play each other a lot. A loss there is a win by someone else.

It's not pessimism it's math.

Math tells you get to 98 and you’re most likely in. It’s not about what anyone else does. The bottom line is 4 teams will not have 100 points in the Atlantic
