Who would u rather have...
the guy who scores 15ev goals & 15pp goals
Or the guy who scores 20ev goals & 5pp goals

It’s pretty easy math

The 2nd guy, because those 5 PP G's are on the 2nd PP Unit, thus leaving space for a guy like Olo to pot his 15 G's on PP1
Winning!

put lazar and okposo with eichel


anyone can score with him

staal is an upgrade over johansson

but by no means is it getting us in the conversation with the bruins or leafs

let alone the bolts
- homiedclown

No it's not, but getting into that conversation via trade is impossible I'm told.
They will be there when it's Eichel - Cozens - Rossi/Lundell down the middle.
And far closer than having Mojo at C.

It was a great trade, exactly right for this team.
Be happy, good 1st move.

Let's see more.

So then I’ll fit right in with all the boomers who do nothing here but b!tch, whine & complain

Ageism at it's finest.
You are an asshat.

we got a 36 year old center

baby steps
- homiedclown

Let’s trade for fleury and sign Bobby Ryan and try to get more 2007 all stars! (Sarcasm)

The fact they're missing a top 5 goalie hurts too. I don't care how well Khudobin is playing.
- Wetbandit1

I think having bishop in they be out already
Dob steps up his game like tim t

Rather have both, and we pretty much have that with One being Olofsson and the other being Skinner.

the rent is too damn high

Buying a 5-7 year non investment home is generally a solid investment. Worst case you walk away.

The Toronto market is ridiculous. Young professionals like yourself are being dealt an unfair hand.

Starter homes should still be starter homes. Sounds like starter homes are priced disproportionately to general wages.

Still can buy starter homes here in the suburbs for 130,000's- $140,000's if your willing to put some work in.
- Boss34

You most certainly cannot.

The cheapest home in the Hamburg area that is not a modular is 170K.

That will sell for 15-20 above asking.


Any home that is not a complete gut and tear down is minimum 175K.

Check out the north buffalo prices and see how run down the houses are that people are buying. It’s insane.

My apartment was in North buffalo and I loved the area off hertel. But I ended up in Amherst when I bought my house last year due to houses that were dumps going for insane prices

I love the schizophrenic posts regarding the 2C position over the past 18 months here.
We all knew not having a viable 2C was holding the team back, but some want 1C production at 4C costs.
Larkin would cost too much because he's too good, Trocheck wasn't good enough, Monohan can't play D, Bonino a 3C would be perfect for a year, blah, blah, blah.
Then we hear 2C are never traded, and if they are; back up the Brinks truck to get one

Staal was playing 1C, puting up 55sh pts, provides veteran leadership...the perfect bridge C ... but he's too old. His acquistion cost was exceedingly reasonable and his contract is awesome. They likely could extend him as he wants to play for 2 or 3 years more.

But let's pile on a GREAT 1st move by Adams.
- IonSabres

I was MIA for a week nor so after the Stahl trade.

Seams like a great trade for the Sabres.

Got more north American and less swedish
Less cost on the contract
Better player
Solves the short term 2c
New face in the lockerroom

Maybe eichel learns from stahl, not sure what he learned from Johansson the winger turned center

You most certainly cannot.

Google the town of tonawanda homes for sale
Tonawanda is the suburbs

Amherst, Hamburg, williamsville also suburbs, but expensive

Just bc 1 way of scoring is “harder” than the other,
that doesn’t mean the “harder” way is more valuable

They count the same dude
You’ve been making this dumb argument for years
Time to move on
- jdfitz77

They count the same on the scoresheet.

One skill set is undeniably more valuable.

I would like a logical explanation as to why it’s ok for Skinner to not score one PPG in his last 80 games even when he was on PP1, however when the name Monahan pops up you are as giddy as a school girl to move 8th OA for a player who derives most of his value on the PP that you seem to devalue on these threads on a daily basis.

Like Jesus Christopher the guy was a -16 on a Flames team that made the playoffs and has had no even strength production at all in the last 10 playoff games he’s played in the past few years. The analytics show he’s brutal defensively too so it’s not like it’s Gaudreau or Lindholm causing that mess.

Then when GMKA makes a trade to move Mojo out for Staal we essentially find a stop gap 2C whom analytically shows a player who can also produce at even strength and isn’t an albatross defensively (however he did receive a lot of o-zone starts) yet it was met with skepticism on your end and you were obviously upset that we didn’t make the big “fancy” move for the sake of making one. Even the people who don’t care about analytics can see that Staal can be a 2C and bring other intangibles like veteran experience and size to our top 6 that we were lacking last year.

So it would ok for Monahan to be a passenger at even strength and kill us defensively as long as he makes our PP a top 10 possibly top 5 Unit in the NHL and it’s ok for Skinner/Reinhart/Okposo to give us replacement value on special teams for what is soon to be 30% of our Salary Cap if not more.

Pick a lane, or admit that special teams plays a major role in small sample sizes like the NHL playoffs or even as small as a single playoff series.
- Pegullaville

Dude these are flat out exaggerations.

I don’t want to move 8th. I’ve said that 100 times. I’d rather pick.

I also think you’re being incredibly disingenuous about Monahan

EV goal totals over the past 4 years

18,22,22,14

He basically averages 20 EV goals per season.

Pretending he’s just a PP producer is wrong

Canada’s housing market to me is essentially just a hub for foreign money laundering.

Couple with the fact that a majority of our GDP comes from immigration and foreign investment only furthers that.

It’s getting ugly here.

My girlfriend and I are looking for properties in south western Ontario in London however even there the average price for a home is $500K.

Pretty tough spot but it is what it is right.
- Pegullaville

Not sure what you do but the housing market in the maritimes is less than half of that.
