It's pretty great, yes, and I'm not disputing that.

More that it probably won't be the norm for him, because it's never been the norm for him.

Just like the 12 game goalless drought doesn't mean he sucks. He doesn't, and he'll go back to putting them in the net shortly I'm sure.

- BINGO!


Not disputing the inconsistency, but he's probably a 35-40 goal player with a quality center.

I agree that scoring 35-40 isn't his norm, even though he's done it before, but having a quality center isn't a norm for him either.

This is most likely how the contract negotiations are going and as long as he and his agent are reasonable, he will be paid accordingly. Most likely like a 30-ish goal scorer who has the potential to crack 40 occasionally.

That's fair. I think he should have a bit taken off because he doesn't possess the puck like a lot of 30 goal guys can, but in it's essence you got it.

he's hit like 5 goal posts in the last 4 games, he'll be fine... I don't have much doubt that he will be a 40 goal guy with jack going forward. All goal scorers go thought this.

Hmm, Colts former GM who now is a consultant for the Seahawks was just in the bar for lunch. Wonder who he was checking out?

He's got 13 games to score 4 more goals to reach 40. doesn't seem like a problem to me either. He might not do it every year, he might do better here or there. Regardless, the Sabres need him and like, another 1/2 of a roster.

Sucks that both the Jets and Browns really improved as well over the past couple of days. Figures. We gave a great start to FA for once, and then so do the Jets and friggin Browns. I used to say (all the time !) "We'll, at least we're not the Jets/Browns". Probably can't use that one anymore.

That's what I was going to post, but I'm not sure how to post gifs or YouTube vids (even though I'm sure that the instructions have been posted here a ton of times).

Evander Kane not traveling with the Sharks for personal reasons.

This should end well
