yeah, but he's been doing some Derek roy-type dipsy-doodle stuff that ends up in a turnover way often...and those blind, vanek-type backhanded passes to no one doesn't help either

Bang on.
Eichel is an exciting, very very talented player...who is still raw and who's game has warts. Time. Time is what is needed for him to expand his toolset.

I do agree that Eichel needs to look at himself in the mirror. He isn't THE. Problem, but he is contributing to it.

What do you think? Im getting tired of them making stupid decisions. Doesnt actually seem like they make decisions based on survival.

I guess that's the case. However, you can't take the human nature element out of it. People have egos, self interests, and no matter how dire the circumstances, those just don't go away. It's realistic if anything.

When Jack starts hanging multiple, multi point games together I'll start listening to his pouts...till then, look in the mirror and lead by example...fix your game.

I think this season can end up being really good if they do it right. I don't read the comics, but I want to see Negan's character become unglued.

Would you:

Evander Kane for Bobby Ryan

Around a Million difference in contract to take on....

At this point, with the way Kane is playing, probably not. You need to move him at some point, but not for someone whose contract is an anchor.

Morning Irish. Actually it's a $2M difference between the two and Ryan's contract goes till 2022. When we have to pay Eichel and Reinhart coming up I would just pass. If Ottawa retained some money on Ryan's contract maybe but I doubt they would.

So the guy the Panthers took at 38 with our pick (Adam Mascherin) is leading the OHL in scoring. Awesome

I'd swap Bogosian for Phanuef at this point.

Phanuef can at least score once in a blue moon
