Ok, you want specifics.....
Stop thinking Kane.
Take a look at who moved today. Think outside the normal drival of tradable assets. Look at the cap situation.

I just looked. Only 5% humidity. 80% is too much, but 5% is not enough. 40% is perfect. That way you can still breathe and at the same time you don't breathe out half a gallon of water a day.

But we should rush to sign a 40 point winger who's 5 years older, why exactly?

I'm still confused as to why the most inconsistent player on the teams needs to be signed a year in advance

One for sure. Maybe 2. Even if you had 3 that would make Sekeras a 2nd pairing , and no (frank)ing way do you have 4 better ones.
Christ, some of you guys have Nate B on your second pair already and he he sure as (frank) is not better at hockey than Sekeras.

- Larsson_fan


I don't get why people knock Sekera. He's quite good. I don't know if he's worth his contract, but he was a UFA signing, so of course it's going to be at least somewhat inflated. His name isn't Lee Stempniak.

I'm not gonna get in a pissing match about whose defenders are better, but it's pretty rich that an oilers fan would call another team's d core less than league average

Just the fact that one is a UFA and one isn't is reason enough.

Who on the Sabres has many suitors that they would be willing to deal and who doesn't fit into their plan and regarding the cap? This is a tough one. I would say Reinhart but he is sometimes considered in the normal tradeable assets

Last year he had 25 EV goals
Year before 13 EV goals

Again, why is the most inconsistent player, a rush to be signed ?

He's a nice player, but he's 3rd pair on a good team. And he's definitely not worth his salary

I'm not saying we should sign him tomorrow if he wants to stay, but certainly during the off season would be nice. He's a UFA and they need to know what the deal is. If he's staying there's no reason not to extend him. Unless he totally poops the bed this year, which isn't likely given his all out effort every game, or he totally blows up this year. Again, not very likely. He is who he is. This year won't change his value much, unless he does something monumentally stupid, but that could happen in year 3 of 5 too. It's poop or get off the pot time.
