<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaseyFlyman</b></div><div>"Figured they want a player that can play now but can be subbed with one of kulich, savoie, rosen, ostlund"

We want a 1RD potential player who can play right now. We've got plenty of forwards that can play right now of similar quality, most are already in the lineup and U23 (Fantilli, Johnson, Sillinger, Chinakhov, Marchenko, Voronkov, and coming up: Brindley and Dumais, the latter of which almost made the team out of camp).

This is like the 12th "Jiricek to Buffalo" ACGM on here over the last 3 days, and the response is the same. We need high-quality defensemen coming back if we're trading out the only one we have in the organization on the right side. If you're not sending us Power or a top-3 pick, Columbus simply isn't interested.</div></div>

Lol
Maybe we’d take your comments seriously if he wasn’t unhappy
U guys aren’t in position to make demands if this continues
You’ll just have to take the best value u can get

Thread: I could see Jarmo doing this lol
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sabresguy1987</b></div><div>Yes where a lot of cbj fans are misinterpreting me is that all i am saying is i could see him doing this. In no way shape or form do i beleive he should. Columbus is my second favorite team behind the sabres, i get the market and how hard it can be to retain and attract players. All I am saying that if there is a chance provy wants to leave in 2 years time then you gave up an asset who you could have 7-8 years of team control up for a guy who may not even push you over the edge into becoming a playoff team. I said the same with ottawa and debrincat which was even more egregious because it was 7 overall. I get you have to take chances but for a guy in jarmo who is very likely on his last legs if this isnt successful makes me worried for the long term outlook of the jackets as he really doesnt care about 2-3 years from now.</div></div>

A lot of it is being on this website too much.

The fatigue from seeing people throw in 3OA for anything, especially after Portzline said 3OA would only be worth Lindholm + 2nd round pick, is very real. It's easy to be agitated and there's been a lot of bad-faith stuff thrown around on the website, especially directed at CBJ.

Not that you're doing that. You seem reasonable and with legitimate interest, but it's been a lot of not that.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sabresguy1987</b></div><div>Lol Dr. Kekalainen it is. Dont ignore that it is miller and 11th to move back 8 spots. I think they should stick with the pick but he just worries me that he constantly tries to speed up the rebuild. Like Ottawa in a sense and look how that worked out for them with debrincat</div></div>

I get the worry. I would have liked the 22OA but there's a lot of calculus that went into that trade.

1. There weren't many defensemen available who fit the pre-Mateychuk/Svozil window that were actually good. Provorov is certainly a risk, but as recently as 21-22 he was a top puck-mover and he's a decent cap-hit with a situationally perfect contract length.
2. There aren't many C's available this offseason for reasonable prices.
3. Cole Sillinger looked like a good player when playing with Voracek, Bjorkstrand, Nyquist, but we no longer have veterancy on the wings.
4. Jake Bean and Adam Boqvist are not reliable players in the D zone.
5. Future cap doesn't matter. Florida, Vegas, Tampa are proving that it's not <em>that</em> hard to get out of deals. Cap is going up.

3 and 4 compound to make a very difficult development environment for young players. Bean and Boqvist (and to a lesser extent even Gavrikov) struggled with too many fires to put out because we didn't have centers that could play. Sillinger tanked this last season because he didn't have defensemen that could help him get the puck out of the zone and he had to carry rookies who had played fewer games than him after injuries.

Jarmo's moves were attempts to reduce the development hurdles by 1. Now that we have Provorov and Severson it will be easier to integrate less-experienced forwards (or d partners) into the lineup without them drowning in pressure in their own zone. If we got a good, reliable middle-six center to help Chinakov, Johnson, Texier, Sillinger play their games it would be even better. It remains to be seen whether one of those is available. Hopefully an improved D corps serves as a platform for them to learn to impact the game without swimming in rookie-mistake chaos.

With 3OA we have a prospect that looks 90% certain to be a 1C in either Fantilli or Carlsson. We just have to not blow it and help further insulate players like Sillinger, Johnson, Chinakov, Marchenko with their Nyquist, Bjorkstrand, Voracek equivalents.

Maybe this is a fake rumor started by Rutherford to find the leak (your friend), let us know if he gets in trouble.</div></div>

Over his career he was labeled a PP specialist who could only score because Eichel was feeding him the puck.
Well this year let's hope both of those ideas have been debunked.
ONLY 4 of his 21 goals have come on the PP and Jack has not assisted on any of his goals this year.
As a matter of fact his center is a waiver claim, Tyson Jost (OMW what an amazing pick up).
YTD only 26 NHL forwards (LW or C or RW) have more goals, only 16 have more even strength goals than he and two of those play for the Sabres.
ONLY 6 forwards have a higher Goals/60 than his 1.9.
He would the leading scorer (or be tied for the lead) of 14 NHL teams, yet some think he is not worth a first?
A reality check is needed here, he is having a career year and would return more than a first at the TDL especially since he is signed for one more year.

Thread: Best case scenario
I think Savoie will be in Buffalo next season as 3C. He is a great two-way player, already good in defense, forecheck and faceoffs. Due to the rules of the CHL, he will not be able to play in the AHL and there is no point in sending him back to the WHL.

Krebs is not impressive at all, almost no points, a lot of mistakes, afraid to shoot. It makes no sense to keep him in the fourth line without giving time to at PP. Krebs - Mitts - Olofsson line looks bad. I'm not sure there will be a place for the Krebs in Buffalo. I want him to succeed, but then already now we need to give him the role of 1C in Rochester, a lot of ice time and PP1. Kulich and Rosen are already having a decent season and maybe next season one or both of them will play at least part of the games in Buffalo.

I don't really like Dumba option, I would rather Zub, Mayfield or Clifton, maybe even Jensen for 2 years than Dumba to play with Power.

Skinner on fourth line zero sense.
