Thanks for another good pod boys. My thoughts on the Rosen situation is you guys are right they don't value him or see a spot for him in this roster moving forward maybe because he's too similar to Kulich Benson nd others in the AHL like Konsta and Ostlund in size and also that he might be the least defensively responsible of them all.
I think they are being weary of showcasing him in NHL for the last 20 games or so because his stock as AHL player of the year going on a playoff run in Rochester might boost his trade value in a package to hopefully acquire a right shot D man to play with Power.
Also wanted to ask your guys your thoughts on what they will do with Clifton and Lafferty moving forward both costing 5+mil in cap hit for next season. That's valuable space that will be needed for short and long term potential contracts with Byram Peterka McLeod and Levi(not worries about Quinn cause he's not going to cost more than 1.5 for 1-2 years like the Krebs treatment to see if he can play his way out of it or eventually get traded) and also needed to pay the contract of the right shot coming in to play with power
Thanks again,
Tim
i was at the vegas game and i can say that game was awesome!! christian messed up dahlins goal was great!!
Here we go again 😒😒 same shit every year when we’re a bottom 5 team and have nothing to play for playing meaningless games, we win maybe 1-2 games vs a good team and everyone acts like it’s gonna change again 😂😂 they ain’t fooling me it’ll be the same crap next year I’ll put money on it cause it’s low risk
Love the pod boys. Honestly have no idea what this pod will look like if the Sabres r ever good haha. It would be a completely different show
Culture Shift? Nice to dream but until Pegula sells the team it will continue to be Hockey Hell.
I think Cozens was possibly a pretty depressing presence. I don’t think they disliked him, it was probably just a lot of negativity
Don't forget boys, there playing loose now cause nothings on the line.
I bridge Benson, trade Quinn, UPL, Sammy. Resign Tuch, JJ, and McLeod . And make a legit run at Mitch
Can you do an episode on amerks and or prospects?
