Thread: Sabres fans what do you want for Kulich
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dcochy</b></div><div>I mean he turns as quickly as the titanic</div></div>

What are you talking about??? Mailloux isn't slow at all. He's great in transition and has amazing handles. The big concern with Mailloux was always his decision making in his own zone. Even in the OHL, he would make dumb turnovers and be caught out of position, and that's literally what he fixed this past season in Laval. He started the season pretty much exactly like he was in junior (poo poo gabage in his own zone, chasing big hits and being caught out of position), and by the end of the season he was playing on the #1 PK unit, and played crucial minutes at the end of games when Laval were holding a 1 goal lead... It was very much the focus of the Habs development team (Rob Ramage, Francis Bouillon, etc.) when it came to working with Mailloux.

So, he's quite the opposite of turning "as quickly as the titanic" lol And Habs fans would know what that looks like, we have to watch David Savard every game.

Thread: Tavares
Don't think UTAH gives Crouse for that package, or that Buffalo will be able to trade Skinner. Considering that Skinner could produce similar or more than Crouse, keeping him for now might not be such a bad idea. As much as the cap space would be great, signing FAs is usually expensive, and not every player is available to every team. So, if Samuelsson is available I think the Leafs would want him back in a trade for Tavares and that they would retain up to 4M to get the deal done. I don't think Buffalo trades Samuelsson though, unless they are signing Pesce or M Roy, Tanev would be great but he only gots maybe 1 or 2 good years left in him, making him a poor replacement for Samuelsson who you have for 6-years. If they sign Pesce for like 7M (not sure if he can be had for less), they won't be able to give Joshua that deal but that might not be a bad thing.
