Thanks. Not what I was looking for though.

I'm hoping Pach, or Ghofranni or Homie who post a fair number of images might provide a quick overview of what they do

I only post stuff I find on google image

Question for you guru posters...

I used to use TinyPic for hosting an image I wanted go post, and it worked great.
Then they went defunct.

So I tried using Imgur but no matter the image size setting I chose, the image when posted was very small...I was interested in posting an image of a portion of Excel Spreadsheet I took as a screenshot...couldn't see the text it was so small.

Any ideas, suggestions?

Sounds like Sammy Watkins pissed off Brandon Beane telling people we tried trading for him before Diggs...

What Teams or Teams that we aren't thinking about that might have a player C or RW that would fit into are 2nd line that could get Skinner going.

There are a lot, it's availability that's the question.

I think Skinner needs a guy to dig out pucks and that is good at setting him up either in transition or finding him at the hashes like Jack did last year.

As an example, I'd like to see him paired with a center like Mikael Backlund. Guy has always had good puck possession abilities, Corsi and Fenwick always above 50%. Pass first player, probably not the best retriever, but I think that would be an example of a guy who could play off of Skinner's strengths.

That's a good choice, I actually like him a lot. I know I have talked about him, but I like Granlund, very good passer and better against the boards then he gets credit for.

Backlund is nice for a 3rd line center now skinner needs to stay with Jack and VO should go to the RW on the first line have should have 3 snipers on line 1

Now we need to work one line 2

If you resign Rhino, why break up a line that was producing very well. With Skinner on the 2nd you don't even have to find 2 studs to fill it out, you concentrate on finding that player be it a C or RW that can dish the puck and Skinner production goes up too fold. Get a digger fill it out.

The point of signing skinner was for Jack
If Sam needs Jack to be successful his whole career we need to move him then ..

I don't understand why people want to move skinner away from Jack he gets 40+ goals now you have VO to get 30 ..

Sam is a vet now he doesn't need to be cuddled he should be helping out Dylan cozens or Casey or Strome he should be making a name for himself

No he shouldn't be cuddled, and who's to say he doesn't when the time is right. You have the makings of 1 very strong line already with line 1, you can make a case that if you want to let Cozens get his feet wet that Kahun Cozens Mojo could make a decent 3rd line. Already have a start with Skinner for a 2nd line, so finish it.

If Skinner needs Jack to be successful, then he never should have been signed.

Sure Skinner may score 40 with Jack, but Jack doesn't score 40 with Skinner and Olofsson doesn't score 30 on the 2nd line.

That's the funny thing, Rhino gets cuddled by Jack, but doesn't that go the same way for Skinner if he needs to be with Jack.

One makes 9m and scored 40g with he elite center the other one got 25g

Listen if Sam got 30- 40 goals with jack no one would break them up imo

He's not an elite winger if he needs an elite center to be successful.

I think Backlund played a fair bit of 2C last year. 45 points would be pretty high for 3rd line usage. Just figured he would pair well with Skinns, if he's going back with Eichel so be it.

I like olofsson on the 1st line, he's a better passer then Skinner, and being away from Skinner is letting Jack grow into that elite player we all wanted to see.

Once Olofsson got confortable at 5v5 I liked him on that line with Jack.

Skinner will produce on the 2nd line once we get more help down the middle.

Skinner will be the higher paid of the two. If Skinner needs Jack to be successful, isn't this kind of the same thing?

But I'm hoping we trade Sam I have nothing against him if there was a redraft he be taken around 10 not his fault ..

We really should use him to get a young center ready to take over Hischier, keller ,PLD, robert thomas,Filip Chytil
