Well, it wasn't because he picked Patrick. That would be incredibly nearsighted.

Really?

I'm not saying its entirely the Patrick pick. But it certainly doesn't help.

When you get the 2nd pick- you need to hit on that pick

I hope he does.

Edit: indeed he does. Without having seen it, I’m sure it was a savage and grievous attack that will besmirch honor of this esteemed league for generations to come.

It's only one year post draft. Hence the "nearsighted" comment. See: Seguin, Tyler.

I see what you did there

Wow

Entire article from The Athletic

“WTF”.......

That’s​ the text​ that​ Dallas Stars CEO Jim Lites says he gets five times​ per game.

“They are (frank)ing horse-poop, I don’t know how else to put it,” Lites said. “The team was ok. But (Tyler) Seguin and (Jamie) Benn were terrible....”

I'm not debating when patrick was picked?

Snyder is definitely impatient

Doesn't hextall know the family ?
That was his call


Flyers suck also, could be that?

The point is that even though a player may "struggle" his first couple years it is not a reason to fire a GM. Nowhere on the list; unless the kid pulled a Lindros and said "don't draft me, I won't play for you" then drafted him anyway and he sat.

Also Snider has been dead for almost 2 years.

Garth's make me ill, but Tanner's are usually entertaining. He's usually wildly off the mark, but that's probably why they're entertaining. Plus he wades into the comment section to troll his readers.

USA vs. Derka-derkastan at 10:30?

Glad you double check my work.

Nice catch😉


If you were an owner that died 2 years ago, would you be happy with the nolan pick?

You may want to ask the critter/s that ate my brain in that case.

In all seriousness, you catch a lot of bs, good eye.

Guessing 2 or 3 games. Should be 10 if they want to get that poop out of the game.

Seems the Stars owner is a little upset, maybe something that should have been said behind closed doors.

It honestly took me a sec. Then I remembered that Philly Philly'ed in the playoffs when they had those light-up wristbands to honor him and threw them on the ice when the Flyers were losing.

I'll take Seguin as a 2nd line center!

You know what they say, "you can't poop a poopter."

I'll take Seguin as a 2nd line center!

Reinhart, Guhle, Nylander, SJS 1st for Seguin. He’s worth one of the 4 firsts

I agree

I'd keep Reinhart and give up Casey.

- SABRES 89

I'd keep both for now and give em skinner.
BOOM

I'd keep Reinhart and give up Casey.
- SABRES 89

Agreed

Only because Casey wouldn't be a 3rd line center I would move him to the wing if we could keep him

Skinner Jack Sam
Sheary Seguin Casey

But realistically one of Reinhart or Casey would be leaving

Plus you have to get them to take Scandella or Okposo (yeah right) to make the cap work

Sounds like you're a fan of participation trophies for Benn and Seguin?

- Pegullaville

Didnt Seguin just sign a huge extension?

How does that work with : these guys needing contracts

Skinner
Mitts
Dahlin

Sabres cant make any trades, they need to sign skinner first. So I've been told.
