Not going to get a 2nd from Anaheim for Jokiharu — he isn’t the type of guy we need on the back end

We need more stay at home defensive guys to pair with Fowler and Drysdale currently

Buffalo doesn’t need Zucker. Savoie and Kulich need spots

Move on from Jost and move Krebs to the fourth line and there's one spot. For me it'll be just one of Savoie or Kulich with the latter getting one more season in Rochester and the former starting his pro career in Buffalo.

Agree on all. I’d love Acciari Gavrikov and Mayfield. Shed joker Bryson victor jost and get into playoffs

Yeah, Jost was a pretty key member of the team. Happy to keep him.

Decisions will be made after the season on mittelstadt, Krebs and okposo all expiring. Jury is out on greenway too.

I think mitts deserves a long term contract to be determined. 4.5m x 7?

I would wait until next season to cross that bridge

Jost and Krebs are interchangeable in my eyes and if you look at their usage (12:01 and 12:09 evtio/gm, respectively) and production (0.37 ppg vs. 0.35 ppg, respectively) it would seem as if that's the way the coaching staff feels.

I’m sure KA has that figured out but his prompt signings with Thompson and Cozens show he’s quick when sure
I admit i was not Mitts fan in the fall but since xmas he’s been amazing. The switch got turned on and think Quinn the next one to bloom

Me too, although like ljseinfeld posted, it might be a tad early. That said, if you believe that Mitts is mid-six forward with a baseline production of 15-20 goals and 50-55 points (which I do,) $4.5M for that kind of production is solid right now and will be a bargain when the cap goes up.

Quinn is 50+ points next year, maybe 60

Hopefully JJ just behind him. We’re getting closer by the day. Mitts between Quinn and Skinner intrigues me
