You see him as a center or winger here?
- RhinoFan


That's irrelevant.

He'll play what he's told to play because Jason said so.

He doesn't play center anymore

He's been playing wing

- gerbe75pts

He averages over 800 FO a year, think he could handle it, and other then this year he is pretty decent at it.

Winning FOs doesn't make you a great center. It makes you a pretty good FO guy.

Being drafted as a center does not necessarily make you an NHL center.

And let's be honest, do we need TWO of those guys to female dog about?

Is he using Tyler Myers stick. He is under a great contract to 4 more years at 4.85mill

This is all Mike P's fault. Mike, do you think if you start a new thread talking politics people will actually talk hockey? You think a guy with the username of the greatest sabre ever (this side of Hasek) would post once about hockey?? Is that asking too much?

I was talking a break from posting until I saw all the brainwashed liberal filth being spewed. Feel sad for your mental health with Trump wins again. Weird how your above post has nothing to do with hockey 🧐

Hell no! I'm not dropping from the 8th overall to the 19th overall for a player that has played no defense so far in his career.

Psh. Defense is so 2019

8OA is tough, and if they're just in for a "retool", then they're looking for a player.

JUST ASKING, would Rhino get it done? Is that a consideration?

Then take the FO and shift to Wing, the guy can score and dish the puck. Him and Cozens could switch off.

Instigators say no. DBTB says no. I say no.

Their center depth is worse than ours. They can't trade for a third high priced RWer with no real centers on the team.

Probably, you take a swing at him, and maybe that gets the convo started on Monahan at a cheaper price.

We turned Jimmy Vesey into a more 200' player. Not sure why we couldn't do the same with Monahan.

You shouldn't overpay for a center that needs more help then

Don't really like Jankowski, what is his next contract, swapping RFA's

No.

3-4C (replacement level) and a 7M left winger without an extension

For a middle pair D and a 7M right winger under control for several more years. Jankowskis can be found in UFA.

This is a waste of assets.

On top of all this, and I don't have access to any WAR charts, but I'm willing to bet this swap doesn't get you more than 1 extra win per season.

Never said any of that. Was making a simple statement, referring to some claiming his defense is "bad"

At this point, this team needs goals. He fits the bill as a goal scorer. And if he can get Skinner scoring more goals, then there's more goals for everyone. Isn't that the goal? To score more goals than the other team?

For those of you complaining about Sean Monahan.

On the Sabres ..... he’s a 2C here. So he’s protected by Eichel. So more favorable matchups and won’t face teams top lines.

Our assistant director of amateur scouting has the acumen to be able to look at both players to determine that stylistically, they should compliment one another. Or not.
