Apparently the Browns think Tyrod is King poop(no pun intended). I feel bad for the Browns.

Talk of extension has been thrown around.

I’m torn on Nylander
Didn’t he finish as a ppg guy for the last 30ish games down there?

I agree with Gerbe that he still has big potential

I also agree with ppl who say to trade him now, bc if he doesn’t take a big step this season then he might lose whatever trade value he has

If we trade him for someone who will be a core player though,
Can’t be upset about that

nylander had 27 points in 51 games for rochester

That’s quite the markup for 2 years
752,000 to 985,000...
I think Eichel got suckered here

Skinner & Mittelstadt kinda cancel out with O’Reilly & Kane imo

So really...
i think we added some depth (which we needed) better goaltending tandem (hopefully)
and obviously... Dahlin

If i had to predict right now what happens...
85ish points

But there’s so many question marks that we could exceed or disappoint from that 85 point prediction

93 to 95 points

Nylander still has crazy skill though
So did Grigorenko though i guess
We also should remember that this is actually YEAR ONE of Nylander’s ELC
He’s super young still
I think too many ppl on here thing a pick needs to be a Star right away

It’ll hurt if Nylander goes on to kill it elsewhere...
but like i said, if he gets us a “Star” player,
then we can’t really be too upset even if Nylander becomes a Star himself

Sure, but...
-no main injuries
-Dahlin & Mitts are studs right away
-Okposo & Sam are good for the whole season, instead of just half
-Berglund/Sobatka can play a solid defensive 3C role
-the “depth” we’ve acquired scores regularly enough to help out the top 2 lines


All of that is very possible,
but that’s a lot to need to go right

And i wonder how long till Ottawa faces that they’re gonna have to trade Karlsson, Duchene & Stone?

Probably Tkachuk too
With how Fd the Sens are...
he might as well just stay in school & become a free agent
Why sign with them & be stuck when u can choose your destination in a few years?

- jdfitz77

Ideal/most likely trade is the entire Ottawa Senators to another city in exchange for many US/Canadian Dollars.

Who was (is) better? Sergei Federov or Alex Ovechkin?

Federov 3 cups to 1.

OV 3 Harts to 1

OV is obviously the greatest Russian goal scorer of all time and has a better ppg.

Federov is the only player in NHL history to win Hart and Selke in same year.

- rmiethaner



If I had to start a team with one of them, it’d be Federov.


I’m not sure that makes him better though. IMO Federov was a more complete player......like by miles

I remember them playing Frederov at defense a bit one playoffs bc a couple guys got hurt

Really tough to compare though

OV is one of the best goal scorers in nhl history

Frederov was great, OV is generational

Berglund and Sobotka do nothing for me. Losing ROR sucks. Other than that, great.
