does MacKinnon have a shot for the Hart?


does the odds change if he did it for a bigger market than colorado?
- homiedclown

I'd go with him or maybe Giroux

But we haven’t heard your ideas about who we are bringing in to make us a contender
- jdfitz77

casey, dahlin, guhle, ullmark, nylander and pu

It looked like a great one
- Sabresfan-365

It pissed me off how a lot of people (okay, mostly James Duthie) kept complaining about how it wasn't fair because of the short tournament with the stakes being so high, etc. You don't lose tournaments in round robin. Sure, seeding could be affected (and it wasn't anyway), but ask Sweden how much good the 1-seed does them every year.

in fact they're specifically designed that way so that nobody really loses in the round robin, not unless you're terrible.

It might be that he's more in favour of rewarding round robin success.

Ryan O’Reilly first 3 seasons

235 games - 107 points - .45 PPG

Eichel’s first 3

209 games - 177 points - .84 PPG

Pretty funny to see YOU use a PPG argument when u were so against it when discussing Kane’s production

Also,
no one expects O’Reilly to score like Jack

I dunno, that flyers team was going nowhere until Giroux took his game to the next level.

I've hit more golf balls at the golf dome this past month than I did all last year.

It's like winter isn't going to end until 2019 after Game of Thrones is over.

Dude what? You are the one who won’t let people use Kane’s lack of points in Buffalo because he’s a goal scorer.

Are you trolling or just not remembering?

It's not un precedented. Stamkos spent 5 of his first 6 years out of a playoff spot.

Tavares something similar as well.
- Sabresfan-365

Certainly not ideal either though

Do u think we should “tank” for 3 more years?

I get the temptation to collect high end assets,
but it’s probably not a good idea to just keep sucking

Well, at least now you why i wan't ROR gone


I don't think they'll get a core guy for ROR because he isn't one.
- Sabresfan-365

O’Reilly is MUCH better than a “decent top9” guy

Come on man

reinhart .562 ppg
- homiedclown

But he doesn’t fit the supposed exact mold that Botts wants

Certainly not ideal either though

It's a risk/reward thing. Suck for a decade and win a championship in Year 11 (not suggesting it's automatic) and that decade becomes a distant memory real fast.

When did I say trade all three?
- sbroads24

U advocate for those guys to get moved all the time!

the good news if the sharks win the cup we get the 2019 pick

but.... i would like a Chance at the player that's going to be better then mcdavid in 2020

Yeah, 1 of them at least. Not all three on a whim

They're not winning the cup.

They have a better chance of re-signing him.

I had an 84 yesterday morning

O’Reilly is MUCH better than a “decent top9” guy

Come on man
- jdfitz77

he's better, but so much? outside of the man advantage he produces like a third liner.

I would take a top 15 pick and a B prospect and run
- sbroads24

That’s a terrible freaking return for O’Reilly

How does that make us better?

A top15 pick could just as easily be Grigorenko as it could be Forsberg
(they were drafted 1 pick apart)

And a “B” prospect is most likely a 3rd liner or bottom 6 defenseman

Wow...
no freaking way is that a good deal

Certainly not ideal either though

it's not temptation. it's calculated. I don't view it as tanking because i dont see it as trading away assets for a shot at a top pick.

I see some players who just don't fit their given roles at their current salaries. you may take a hit in the short term yes, but long term moving on from bad value is always in your best interest.

does MacKinnon have a shot for the Hart?

- homiedclown

Yeah,
But I’d go with Kopitar or Hall
Both did about as much as the other contenders with less help

- jdfitz77

And if it’s Grigorenko than I guess we will just be a bad team again and draft really high and get someone really good.

Sounds like a win

Sucks because I bought brand new Callaway XR's (Driver, 3 wood, and 5 hybrid...on sale at The Sporting Goods Store with a Slang Name for the Male Anatomy) over the past 2 months.

- homiedclown

We wouldn’t want those guys PLUS our “good” players?
I feel like we’d be a stronger team then if we just “Evander Kane’d” them
