If the organization was so bad, why did all these players leave and become successful? Maybe they had some bad leadership.
- QuinnFan


Agreed, ownership/management/coaching and captains were all wrong the entire time Eichel was here.

Eichel isn't a leader, that doesn't mean he isn't a winner.

If you want to define a player by one series, there's no arguing the point. This is like when McDavid got knocked out by WPG in 4 games, but didn't score in the final two so it was his fault.

Eichel beats Mathews in the head to head matchups as well.

You can take him, the rest of the league takes AM. Sorry it's not particularly close. And Vegas made the Conference Finals (twice?) and the SCF twice in 6 seasons. I'd say they were set up to win.

In my opinion, that cup should have a price tag etched into the side along with the names of the individuals who won it as I think the players mattered about as much as the money invested. From the expansion rules to cap circumvention, that cup wasn't won, it was acquired.

Wouldn't surprise me to see this in preseason or early on. Probably see multiple Combinations early on.

Signing Metsa and R Johnson blew loads of vibes all over that room.

And here?

Vibe juice covering the walls between Connor Clifton, President Trophy winner and Erik Johnson, Stanley Cup Winner.

What would your PP lineup look like? How would you set it up in the offensive zone?


More importantly, what do you think the chances are they're rush plan is to swing around like morons and drop it back 50' at any sign of pressure? I think its the worst breakout I have ever seen and the entire league uses it.

EJ has old balls…. Discuss.
- IndianaSabresFan

Dude is a walking operating table.

“The 34-year-old has fought off the dreaded injury demons from, quite literally, Day One of his pro hockey career, kicking things off by tearing his ACL and MCL in a golf cart weeks after being drafted by the Blues to begin his time in the NHL with a lengthy rehab stint. Johnson would go on to miss what should have been his entire rookie season that year. And from then on, there isn't an ailment that Johnson hasn't battled. Name a body part, and he's almost certainly broken, fractured, pulled, strained, or lacerated it during his over 900 games of NHL servitude.”

What if they only signed him so they can get handicap parking for the team bus?

There are still several players around the league who want or need to be moved. MTL has 3 goalies, as does Buffalo. Sabres have 14 defensemen, Toronto is over the cap significantly and Calgary has a bunch of guys Who Don't Want To Be Here.

The term “who want to be here” is currently in its final vetting stages to get the ™️ stamp

Not sure what this was, apologies. I see AM ahead in goals, pts, +/-, PPG, GWG, SOG, PS%, Harts, Richards and All Star games.

Jack is ahead in bought Cups, penalty minutes, assists and short handed goals (1). Or did you mean their teams playing each other? Sorry I missed it.

Think you're dismissing the idea of them only carrying 11 forwards and going with 11 forwards and 7 defensemen too quickly...

Matthews needs to win one cup to match bought cups at 1-1 with Eichel.
