Didn’t understand trading him
Seemed like we were “selling low”

Unless he was acting like a jerk bc he wasn’t getting the playing time he thought he deserved...?

I just found it odd we gave up on him so quickly

- jdfitz77


Idk what to say anymore they basically said he's a stand-up guy and a leader and he just didn't fit ...

We look pretty incompetent when all the players we traded are starting

What did I miss, what did Ragland do? If I was going to be upset about losing any LB it would be Bradham, who has been an absolute beast for the Eagles since they got him. Dwayne Allen. Your takes on football aren't worth poop.

On the bright side it looks like the bills gave away a future pro bowler in Reggie Ragland

And now we still have bust Lawson

- GERBE!!!75PTS


Future pro bowler?? He has 15 tackles total this year. Could he be good? Maybe, but even Aaron maybin had a good game before (one time)

So we have two wins at home maybe we get our third tonight ...

I remember back in 2015 we all thought once we drafted our franchise Center we would be a contender in 2 years

It's pretty sad that was the most exciting time as a fan That season

I never said that
And I blew your dumb arguments all out of the water anyways

- jdfitz77

You tried comparing Chicago's #1 center to our #2.

A better example would be using ROR's 2015-16 year, where he was our #1 center, and was leading the NHL in ice time for forwards (so pleanty of O zone work)

He had 60 points in 71 games

The next year as our "number 2" center for (even though he played as our #1 for the first 21 that Eichel was out) he had 55.

A whopping 5 point difference

Count me as one of those who think these line changes are actually a step in the right direction. Certain players shouldn’t play together. I don’t feel Kane and Eichel had chemistry. Sure they banged home a couple two on ones...but pommer and Girgensons also have done that with Jack. I would like to see Sam stay with Jack. But he’ll be fine with the line he is on. Kane gives ROR some much needed speed. I don’t understand the argument that Kane is the only one who can keep up to Jack. When do you ever see Jack fly all the way up the ice? He always gears down when he hits the line. And if he doesn’t he’s heading for the net on his own. You need guys to come in at levels and jack needs guys that understand how to get to an area. Pommer does that. Zemgus drives the net.

You don't really think we are still in a playoff race, do you? Having watched the last three games I can't imagine this team will ever win another game, let alone make the playoffs.

I don’t think it’s likely we make the playoffs...

But we are tied for the last spot right now

That happens though
I’ve been fine with most of the moves

It’s all about finding the right QB anyways
U til we do that,
we will never be better than a 9-7 team

I didn’t do that at all all
U said ROR can’t get the minutes on line 2 that he does now without all the def zone time

Pk88 is on line 2 for them
Doesn’t get def zone time like ROR
Plays 30sec less per game
If Kane can get that time on line 2,
there’s now reason we can’t do it with ROR too

YOU ARE WRONG DUDE
Those aren’t my opinions, they’re FACTS

We have no D -

Top pair tonight is Scandella and Falk -

Jack can play D maybe - put him and ROR back there - might as well.

Kane isnt behind any other forward on Chicago, he is put out in every offensive situation.

O'Reilly is behind Jack Eichel. They are both centers.

I feel like I am taking crazy pills.

I literally showed you the ONLY other 2nd line center near ROR in ice time and it was Ryan Kelser

They both play a similar role.

You're literally the most stubborn person on here. I respect it
