I will agree to disagree. Put Kane on Pitts he scores 30+, The only reason why he shoots so much is who the hell else is going to on this team? Nobody else can hold the puck long enough to get a shot off....
- hehateme

Yeah, I mean I can score 30 with 87 or 71.

The point is he was supposed to do that here. With Eichel. And didn’t.

2 of the 3 years he didn’t meet expectations IMO. Last year he was excellent

Fewer.

Hey now at least it's not hubie english

I think it shows how bad Ottawa is financially speaking from the ownership side of things.

A team that was 1 goal away from heading to the Cup finals last year is selling off everybody...

I'd love a crack at Karlsson but there is no way I would take on Ryan's salary as well
- Stripes77

Sheesh. Imagine trading Eichel away right now and taking less so the team would take back Bogo. I just cringe at the thought.

Yeah, we're not ready for Karlsson trades yet.

Hot take and believe me I love Eichel:

Eichel hasn't figured out how to play with others that aren't as talented as him yet...

I do have faith he will figure it out soon and start making others around him better

Can we do other things with the hooker?
Like, go kayaking?

No that cost extra (or travel pay to and from).


Bag of blow is cheaper.....

So wait.... Let me get his straight. You say anyone can score 30+ with centers like Gino and Sid, but Kane gets pooped all over because he is not doing it on a Buffalo team were he might play part time with Eichel?? I think someones expectations are a little high....

He can play with Okposo. Less so with Reinhart. Not at all with Girgensons. I think it's a function of needing better, faster wingers. Gotta find his Josh Bailey to JT or Kunitz to Crosby

Sooo no pens then

I agree, I hoped Kane would be that guy but he isn't

Good post.

Reinhart is too slow to keep up, most of the other "fast" players we have lack the hands to finish. IMO he needs his Josh Bailey.

FWIW, I think his first name is Casey and he will be here soon.

I'd bet there would be less of these mass shootings going on if that was the case

You're fake news

It's not wrong

Eichel knows what he is thinking, he sees the game in a different light than everybody else on the team (kind of like Crosby does) the main difference is Crosby knows what his teammates are thinking and Jack isn't at that level yet

Let’s aim higher

Kurri to Gretzky
Anderson to Messier
Mogilny to LaFontaine
Jags to ........


You get the point.

Casey isn't really a speedster. Not that he's slow as molasses either.

- hehateme

When we gave up 5 assets for Kane and Bogo, the expectations were 30+ goals 50-60 points at the minimum.

There were articles written about whether he would score 40 goals or not.

If anyone claims these weren’t the expectations after we got him, they are lying

Let’s aim higher
