He when was Thomas Vanek's best year?
- sbroads24

I never mentioned Kane, if you want to bring up Kane, wait til he is 30, when there is data to conclude something

Kane for 82 games with ROR and Eichel, could very well pop your cherry


I am pointing out more players with better numbers after 25 years old, then you are pointing out at 25

your article sucks and is flawed

SERIOUSLY!? Grigo is on the top line?? And got there by hard work and good play?


Is it story time or something? Whoa.
- JVince11

yeah from healthy scratch to 4C, 3C, to Top LW. Worked his butt off playing solid defensive hockey when in the Bottom 6 role. Got some PP time bc of it, showed off some chemistry with Mack and Dutch with his passing.

I have my issues with Roy as a coach and the systems he runs, but he is really the ultimate players coach and motivator.

I don't think you can say that about Kane at his ripe age.


He had a great season already once then asked for a trade out of WPG every year since and didn't get along with the dressing room. Reserve judgement.

He's right. "On average, A player retains 90% of their scoring until the age of 29. After that, the drop os pretty sharp"

Call the Hookers, it's party time!

It looks like Zach Bogosian will play for the Sabres.

I would have to agree that most players PEAK career is between 25-32 years. Can't judge them until they are at least into that area.

Consistency was always a thing for Grigo too. Good ot see he lost the floating legs and is playing good. Liked the idea of Grigo a lot more than what he actually showed.

Avs are one of the other teams I like to see win games so more the power to them.

WOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
- CoHo_to_B-Lo

They had him with Risto yesterday on top line and today with McCabe on 2nd line.

Will be interesting.


Can't wait ot see everyone tear him to shreds tonight in his first game back as a bust if he does something wrong.

He's right. "On average, A player retains 90% of their scoring until the age of 29. After that, the drop os pretty sharp"

I see it starts to dip at 25...shocking

He said their scoring decreases after 25, not 29.

bogo back tonight


Edit: late, please don't pair him with risto

He said their scoring decreases after 25, not 29.
- HonkFortheGoose

Yes, as the peak is at 25

Just that after 29 the drop becomes very large

Your argument is invalid

Would like to see him with McCabe, Gorges and Risto have played very well together do not want to disrupt that. Especially against the Stars. Hopefully we can shut down Benn and Seguin. Need Ullmark to play his best game tonight.

Finally some sanity...now that Sabres Cat can eat some crow in his rumoured reports..what the Avs are asking for fabricated stories of his. That guy is one weird dude

"I have zero evidence Barrie is on the trade block. I’m sure Colorado would love to sign him."

"GM Joe Sakic stoked fires by telling Dater there might be changes if the road trip went poorly...My sense is Sakic did test the market, asking what would happen if the Avalanche decided to make a move. That's not uncommon, but we aren't at Duchene Defcon 1."

Matt Ellis is analytically perfect

I'm convinced

Trade Kane now. #SuperBust

Also O'Reilly. After this season #GonaBeBust

Probably should get rid of Ennis too. #SoonToBeWashedUp.

Deslauries as well - #OverTheHill

Trade Pysyk. #TooOldToProduce

Sam Reinhart. #TradeHimBeforeIt'sTooLate.

So basically what every GM does daily probably. Talk to other teams to gauge interest on players, his own, and others.

Let's ditch Eichel now just to win the analytics Olympics.

Sabres are doing and looking better than ANYONE expected at this point, and we still find reasons to complain

Hopefully this stops the Pens fans with their idiot trade proposals as well.
Such a dumb dumb week as an Avs fan bc of stupid pervert Dater trying to get 15 seconds of fame again.

So what your are saying is Scuderi, Kunitz and a 2nd is not a good offer?
