Jack has played with Kane and Reinhart for good portions of this year. Not exactly bums. I don't agree with that.


Elite winger... like... Matthews/Laine/Puljujarvi who are all just as good and cost NO ASSETS unlike Drouin you mean??

Let's be honest here the players that Jack's been playing Sam's great but Kane ew.. he's just too good for the team he doesn't have players on his level and Kane is just good for open Nets and hitting post..

And you know me I was the one that wanted to draft girgensons I was the one that told you about girgensons I wanted to do everything possible to get him that year..

For me to trade him away you know I'm serious about Jonathan Drouin

Whoever I sent those questionable pics to last night I apologize it was an honest mistake. Hopefully you have kids and you'll understand you make stupid choices when you're young.

TM signed Akeson & Varone ot deals this summer I believe. Akeson was a leading AHL goal scorer last season.

Either way. More interesting is if Murray can fulfill his ultimate wet dream and make his entire franchise full with Canadians.

Really? Anyone have the stats on this?

I think only in buffalo do people prefer 3rd liners over potential first liners, and want to resign 3rd liners for 20 million than shipping him out for maximizing assets.

Why Eichel's not getting a fair shake this Calder season - his top 3 F teammates by shared 5v5 TOI:

E. Kane
B. Gionta
J. McGinn

2.04% is a good portion of the year?

Is this a good post?

I think you only see what Drouin did in Juniors as the barometer of what you want.

He played with ELITE players in TB through their top 6 and PP. He had WORSE stats than Yakupov. I'm not emptying the cupboards or PROVEN NHL players for him.

Most people knew kane would be a bad fit with eichel. Kane loves his random ass zone clearing shots and carrying the puck and eichel loves doing the latter.

Need one of those "puck off as soon as its on the stick" players.

that is that line together... I just meant he had one or the other.

If you look at the MOST likely it is only 6%. Not a big diff.

Not sure how much faith i put in those stats... there have been at least 20 other line combos not listed

Look at Powerplay too man.

22% and MOST likely is ROR, Eichel, and Reinhart.

THEY'VE MET. haha

Colorado an interesting fit for a Drouin trade. A long-term LW successor to Tanguay in top six. MacKinnon bond. Keep an eye on the Avs.

22% on the PP which is 6 mins a game and they don't play the entire time!

Come on you are better than this!!

Can we trade Disco Dan? Problem solved.

He hasn't gotten any playing time you should go look at who he played with how much playing time he got

Would you have given up girgensons for
Evgeny Kuznetsov last year ? Be honest

40 points in 89 games as, basically a rookie, is not something you're interested in or is it that he doesn't want to play for TB anymore that makes you nervous?
