You could be right, but I don’t think so. If the next coach flames out, Botts probably goes with him.

From what everyone here says, JB has a plan and he’s not going to deviate from it one bit.
- PrinceChill

After 2 years, and heading into year 3, the plan needs to be "don't suck." I can't imagine he'll see year 4 without a drastic turn-around, fair or unfair.

4 more goals and he becomes the best single tournament scorer in the u18s history.

Beating out Ovechkin, Kucherov ,Kovalchuk.


I don’t see anyway he makes it past the Oilers with Jesus feeding him

Hopefully the sabres don’t pass and it won’t be leon draisaitl 2.0

A lot of these guys carry merit to draft them at 7. Caufield isn't the only prospect here. He's a hell of a shooter, though.

Might as well copy my post here and paste it during the next few months.

Guys have all sorts of reasons why they choose a destination. Geographical location, weather, money, family locale/family reasons, education system for their kids, country, facilities, ownership, staff are all some off ice reasons. On ice, fit, mutual interest, ability to play with stars, ability to grow with team, ability to guide team, defined roles, abilty to boost their value playing with said elite players, short and long term vision of the team, coaching style/personality, prior team record...

There are so many reasons a guy will choose to sign with a team. Winning makes things easier, too.

What you say is indeed true. However, each of the factors you’ve listed are not weighted equally. Money is always going to outweigh school system ratings and arena staff.

Cold water?

First, you have to find a trading partner for Okposo. Not easy to do.

Second, you have to deal with his M-NTC. Not easy.

Reality- he's not going anywhere.

No 1st round firings yet. Cooper was heavily endorsed by Brisbois. Haven't heard anything about any of the other coaches. Lavy would be nice, though.

you have been a real touch hole since Tiger won the masters
- homiedclown

You’re giving me too much credit - it has been longer than that.

Frank Clark got a HAUL. Wow!

1st, 2nd and swapping 3rds.

Huge return for a guy that wasn't going to sign.

Edit: To KC

Easier to assume he can go away with a draft pick, they can sign the ideal UFA to a team friendly deal and he won't age.

But when a player breaks Kane’s,kessel records that Matthews couldn’t beat that puts him in the discussion

And a player that just needs 4 goals to breaks OVS record that was set in 2002 and think about how many players have come up after him

He’s playing against boys. Nathan Gerbe scored 68 points in 43 games during college.

OV and Kuch were also playing against boys... he is going to beat both of them.

Gerbe didn’t score 69 goals he scored 11 goals

And jack had 38

If he was not beating records by HOF players I wouldn’t put him in the top 10 or top 30
