Eichel had more secondary than primary assists last year at even strength and overall.

Seemed like he picked up some gifts, especially during the streak.

I feel like eichel was hurt last year all the way to the end of the season. Anyone else feel this way?

Goalofsson is a rock star. Should wear a tinted visor. Another great hit by GMTM. Patty Lala knew GMTM was gonna be the GOAT. Called it at the presser. Biggest blunder in the history of the organization. I've been saying it for years folks and it isn't even close. Awful he got poop canned for not wanting to fire Bylsma. Brought in a Conn Smythe Selke winner for peanuts too. All so some total paper bag breathing loser of a putz could destroy it. Unbelievable.

Tmgm drafted our top line 68-9-23

I'd sign olloffson long term now. Good teams lock down top players early for cheap.
Pasternak
McKinnon

Hope kagm recognizes talent and doesn't let them walk until the downside of the players career

25th place ring a bell?

And like I said build around them, team gets better when there's more than 3 players driving play.

Sure and most of Jack’s secondary assists are skill plays as well.

You're really going there with him? There's plenty of warning signs...and he's older than Sam. Might not be as much improvement as you're hoping.

IIRC, he injured his shoulder at some point, which is why he stopped taking faceoffs before the season was suspended.

It's unfortunate that GM's TM and JB screwed the pooch with two (2) killer long-term contracts with Okposo and Skinner respectively. I'd say their combined $15m Cap hit for their production over the past 2 seasons; they are overpaid by about $5m ( $3.0 + $2.0 ), maybe more.

Those overpayments make me reluctant to give Sam his big payday on another long term contract of ~$7.0m. The challenge with him is at 24, he will be a UFA after 3 seasons...so what to do?

The bolded is a load of total bullpoop.

The plan all along was 100% focused on Eichel and McDavid regarding their future number one Center.

Its not bs at all

If we didn't have jack we be (frank)ed the goal was to tank 2 years

Why are people realizing this now but I got burned at the stake for months before/after that contract was signed and I cried about it ?

Okposo alone is overpaid by 5m.

Sam would be a UFA after 2 more seasons, not 3. With JB, I thought this would end with a 4 year deal. With KA, no clue.

Typical Cluelesssville. Making stuff up after the fact. Meanwhile 3ER tells everyone to tune in to the Fued and now that is all that everyone is talking about. Lucky for some, unfortunate for others, the archive doesn’t lie. Beeeeeeeeeeeehold the power of the 3ER!

I called draisatil > Reinhart

Skinner’s contract being a bust.

Sabres going Center at pick 7th in 2019 when everyone was jerking it for Cole. Even bad Boldy going before Caufield and went 2/2

My next one will be Gold hitting $2000 an ounce (said this when it was at 1650 an ounce) and Silver hitting $25 an ounce by the end of the year.

In addition, if what he was last year is what he is going forward, there's nothing wrong with that, but it's another reason to hold off on a long term deal.

My guess is a 1 or 2 year deal if they keep him, but I have a feeling he's going to be traded.

Wouldn't surprise me if Rhino pushes for a 2yr deal. Wouldn't surprise me if most RFA take shorter term deals.

Everyone was saying Cozens or Zegras both centers. Only Gerbe wanted Caufield. You were way late on skinner, don’t remember you saying drafting Sam was a mistake either. Your financial advice would of cost people thousands over the last three months.

Don’t get ahead of yourself
