I think most people don't care when an "insider" makes a call and it's wrong. I think what people laugh at is when an "insider" tries to say they have some info when it's knowledge everyone else knows about then keeps repeating it over and over. Then when this obvious knowledge happens the "insider" tries to claim they called it.

Like saying botterill is gonna be patient. He said that was his plan first press conference. Build through AHL. Of course he was just filling role players through FA, there were only like 3-4 guys even worth a multi year contract this year. Everyone knew that. No "insider" knowledge needed, saying it over and over first day of free agents after a big trade is made and roster was semi set. ....other then left wing our roster is full unless a trade is made.

My go-to has been Founders All Day IPA. It's not the best one out there, but it's pretty good for being only 4.7% alcohol. It's a good pace for spending the entire day drinking.

Hopefully some fireworks today lol

Kane can kiss his 6m + contract good bye he's not even close to rads

That contract is going to be a Steal for Dallas super stud

He's 31. A Five year deal is way too steep for my taste.

I would be worried if he was in the NHL all that time but the KHL is less competitive
And his body doesn't have any wear or tear

Super stud? Huh? The guy will play 1 maybe 2 seasons in Dallas and bolt again. Bizarre post.

I am not sure what you are saying. First, Radulovs contract is a "steal" at $6.25 mil per at a 0.71 pts/game last year (on a team that was 1st place for a while), but Kane at 0.615 pts/game last year (on a team at the bottom most the year) can't even get close to $6 mil? Also Kane is 6 years younger? Ummm. I am not sure your comments even make sense next to each other. Kane will get a raise from his current contract, either with the Sabres or another team. Lowest he will / should get is $5.5 and I wish that was not true, just the way it is. Oh an Kane was injured for first 10+ games when he came back. If you take those 10 games out, oh look, the same 0.71 pts / game. Not saying you can do that to the stats, but I think they are a lot closer than you are willing to admit.

Edit: A "steal" says he should be getting more money, which makes Kane at $6 about right.

This happens often.

Being realistic, what would it take from Sabres to try and get McKinnon from Avs? I know he is close to untouchable.

I would think something like
Risto (would hope for McCabe)
Reinhart (would hope Kane or Nylander)
2018 1st
Baptiste or Bailey

I would highly consider
McCabe
Nylander (Kane would be better of course, due to contract ending soon and large payday)
2018 1st (lottery protected)
Baptiste or Bailey
maybe another propstect

Anyone interested in that? I think McKinnon is listed as Center, but thinking him with Eichel would be straight nuts!

The bolded is what's realistic.

MacKinnon is a great player, but he's not a player (so far) that can elevate others' games. This is not a guy you throw the sink at. I'm sure Sammiches isn't going to like this post. Sorry buddy.

so your assuming Rads only half a$$ed it for the preds

and now that he got paid for 1 good year, he is going to continue to play at a high level


it's funny, because you just praised rads for 1 good year, and dis Kane for the same

Assuming no other NHL roster moves are made for the summer (no idea if there will or won't be), one of Pominville or Pouliot would have to be in the top 6 I would think.

Wish list:

Nino Niederreiter!!
