I like the second line a lot
- homiedclown

I'd like to see Eichel and O'Reilly together, O'Reilly taking the FOs (not sure what Eichel's % is) but Eichel centering the line. Not sure who to run on the left, maybe Eichel's landlord? He might be too slow though.

Then Kane-Reinhart-someone...

I want to see Samson get a chance with Kane while he plays center.

It would be really interesting to see how he would produce in a system that doesn't stifle offense as much as the Kings system does.

all star, every day of the week

he can do whatever he wants, players had the week off

no different then sammy taking his kid to orlando


IMO this is a non story

Cleveland told him his 6 week tryout included the bye week, they wanted him to show his mind was in the right place. That he was focused on football, and he is not. He will never play for the Browns again. (not a bad thing lol)

Kane has had a very underwhelming beginning to his career as a Sabre.

Another thing I saw last night that I didn't like was he started skating around before the end of the national anthem. Just seems kind of disrespectful.

watch him end up in houston and tear it up

He's not the first player to do that, nor will he be the last. Unfortunately, it's kind of accepted in the game.

I really think he is one of those guys that with a new start somewhere he can be good. And Houston, with Bill O'Brien and DeAndre Hopkins, i think that would work lol. Plus JJ Watt would keep him in his place. Cleveland doesn't have that leader, unless he is out partying with Lebron...

hahaha

Agreed. I wouldn't touch Kaepernick at all.
- kingcong39

My point is that Greg Roman made Kapernick into a viable option for a few years.

Taylor under Roman isn't as effective.

The argument that it's either we stick with Taylor, or we find Aaron Rodgers/Tom Brady is just wrong. There are better QB's in-between the two

I don't dislike Kane, I dislike the notion that he's a star 1st line forward that will just all the sudden start banging them home. It's not who he is.

My point is that Greg Roman made Kapernick a rich man.

Taylor under Roman isn't as effective.

He actually did write that, but later wrote how he was joking. I just found it funny.

Definitely impressed with most of our defense, especially McCabe and Risto.

Pysyk needs more ice time.

Did anyone else read Matthew Coller's quarter season grades?

he said Pysyk has been "brilliant"......?? Good yes, brilliant is an overstatement for someone with 1 point playing the 5th/6th role

Agreed on all three of those. Thought for sure this team was going to get lit up all season. I would have been fine with it, had they been playing 4-3, 5-3, 6-3, etc type games as I had no expectations, but shocked that the defense and goaltending isn't a huge mess.

Only big move I want to see is a top winger. It's the biggest need, IMO. Sure a top D-man would help, but winger is a bigger spot that needs filled

So 2 out of our 3 biggest offseason acquisitions can't stay on the ice...

WTF..
