You’d be better off trading for Jt Compher than signing Lowry to that deal. Or giving Dougie the bag

If the Sabres take a Dman, they may as well start renovating Quebecs stadium

a player overrated due to his size? lol, also just cause they profile similarily doesnt mean anything. i have watched quite a bit of the 2020 class and personally wouldnt even pick power top 5.

Cozens maybe but Lowry is solid and that third line would get Ozone starts and rip apart other teams offensively. As the season would progress I'd expect Cozens to be 2nd line center and Lowry to shift down

Where do we play Mitts if we keep him? Virtanen is a speedy and gritty goal scorer. I'd take him all day. Thompson was shipped out to Seattle

No he's actually Kryptonian. Berniers is way more suited to Buffalo's needs

Lowry is better offensively imo and he is a big boy which is always nice. Signing Lowry only costs money not picks or players. I have no idea what you mean with the last part

The Lakers of the NCAA. They are STACKED. Unfortunately I think Portillo's numbers are getting mega inflated with playing on an OP team

Sabres don't do that VAN trade.

Uh well I'm a Sabres fan and I just made that trade so explain that one to me

I wonder how you draw that conclusion?

Who are you scouting him for?

Beniers, Eklund, Guenther, Johnson, Clarke. I hope it will be a forward, but I could see Clarke if we trade Risto. I was not impressed by any of the left-handed defenders.

Power and Hughes? They are both going to be very good. I'd much rather Berniers or Eklund for obvious reasons.

I said not impressed, neither Power nor Hughes. Clarke just looks interesting, but he's right-handed. Beniers and Eklund are two of my favorites.
