4th liners aren't 3rd liners, news at 11
- jcragcrumple


Right, we have a lot of 4th liners. The 2 that make 5m+ are/were the biggest problems.

Not right.

Pominville was easily one of the top-6 best forwards on this team. Okposo was not

Away from Eichel, Okposo outproduced Pommer. They were both anemic.

Half of our top-6 produced like below average third liners.

Agreed. But no more than $1 milllion - for one year. As everyone has noted, he is a classy guy and he still scored 16 goals this year. Not too shabby.

Okposo makes him redundant. Only 1 can play on the 4th line next year, and while I think Pominville would be the better player, 4 years worth of contract security says Okposo will be here instead of Pominville

And Okposo can't/couldn't/won't keep up with Eichel, or produce with him. Old ass, slow Pominville could, and is far and away the superior player, without penalties or any other stupid stuff and predictable "turn and pass to the point" shenanigans Okposo pulls

Your point about Okposo making him redundant is dead on.

I am so happy for pommer, and our poopty captain has 80 points.
- TheSabresTaco


But Derek Roy had 81 back in an era where scoring was much more prevalent and he had a RW with 80 points so Jack stinks.

Why couldn’t Jack put up 95 when his next closest teammate has 63 points ? Jack should score unassisted or somehow pass the puck into the net himself. That’s pure laziness from our wannabe captain.

Eichel was on tonight.

Sure it was against Ottawa, it well worth the $ for the entertainment factor.

He could have had 7 points tonight


So much for pommer only scoring on eichels wing....

There have been many games this year where Eichel has recorded 1 or 2 points but with more puck luck would have walked out with 3 or 4. His talent speaks more volume then the stat sheet says it does. I bet if Olofsson and that shot is on the half wall the whole year Jack ends up with 10-12 more points because there wouldn’t be 4 PKers sitting right on his lap every time we had a PP.

That last part is spot on. They'd have to respect "the shot".

Hope he's here full time next year.
