They are, it's not their fault the other forwards can neither score nor play defense. But that doesn't detract from the point that they play too much.
- Wetbandit1

22 and 28 play too much to be 3rd overall in the nhl standings?

We're currently sitting tied for 4th.

I think they are doing fine. If anyone else could step up in the middle 6, they would probably play less.

I've always liked girgs
I'm pleasantly surprised with Larsson.
He was good 2 years ago then broke his wrist.
Last year he was putrid

Every forward not on the first line needs to score more. 28 and 22 took a nice step forward in that regard last night. Let's see if they can keep it up, and lets see if others can join in. Every line other than Jack's is producing below expected NHL production. There is plenty of room for improvement across the board.

Nope.
It is the Meddle six that are not producing.
And 22,28 and whomever is the bottom 3, not the 2nd line.

JBotts has work to do still, and figuring out those 6 positions is key for next season.
Mitts is a given. Okposso too unless he can be unloaded by some miracle...same for Berglund.
He has got to find A Skinner for Mitts somehow.

I think the only givens on this team are 26, 9 and the impossible to move contracts.

Not sure what the Sabres could do?

Skins- eich- tage/okposo

Sheary -sam- mitts

as hot as jack is


sheary-eichel-thompson/pommer
skinner-casey-skunk


if jack produces 75% of what he has with 2 other wingers and skinner/skunk make casey a 60 point player (.75 ppg once the move starts), we have 2 lines that can score


of course skinner and skunk play with jack on the top pp


they can't ride skinner, jack and sam 22 minutes a night all year, they will be gashed by playoffs if we make it, plus easy to kind to stop them on road with home coach sending out last line for face offs

I don't think it would be a problem. They're far enough away from each other with more than enough people, 14M in the 2 metro areas. The problem would be drawing said people. It's been tough enough in Arizona, and Phoenix has the 11th most people(metro area) in the country(Houston is 5, Dallas-Fort Worth is 4). Going back to 15-16 Dallas has sold between 97.7% and 99.2% of their home games and they haven't exactly been world beaters. So the demand is there. Arizona has been 76.2%-79.9%. Houston's demographics are different though. There is some serious money in the burbs. Houston has 4 of Texas' 10 wealthiest communities 1st, 4th, 5th and 6th. There would be worse places to move a team.

I have been to a hockey game in Houston. Imagine an entire arena full of glass bangers.

Neither are going add 19 to that also.

Is this some kind of riddle?

Or McCabe is safe?

I like that idea , give mitts a boost.

The most disappointing player right now is okposo.
He started out pretty good.

He needs a jolt of eichel to get going.
Tage seems like a great fit with jack too

I banged the glass at a thrashers/stars game

mocked turco the entire game

final score was thrashers 1, stars 2

- Boss34

For me there's a difference between "not looking to move" and "safe"


Not looking to move is just code for knock my socks off or it better bring back a better player. Not likely trade scenarios but we see it happen every year.

Safe is, there are like 5 guys in the league i would take over this player so unless its one of those guys im not interested. Thats just my view though.

I put tage or pommer on the line over okposo because okposo is so lost he cant get points on the pp with skunk, skinner, jack and either dahlin or risto

F you Tim Murray

he skated by me and smiled

I was ripped from the bills/falcon game earlier in the day, in a suite

If boss or Ion said this, it would not surprise me.

But you? This hurts.

You never bang the glass. I don’t even have to ask.

Hell, I bet you never banged *anything*
