Btw. Prior to playoffs, watched a few Cats game and I can see why everybody loves them. That said, I still think the playoffs in the east would have been tough for them. Perhaps they coulda supplanted the Isles, but the Caps, Pens and B's have the edge

They looked like one of the best teams in the NHL in game one against Tampa, just like they have all season.

I totally disagree. It's also not like they are a finesse team who would theoretically struggle against the supposedly more physical Boston type teams.

Well mr tsn. I guess jack is a non starter. Can I interest you in a Reinhardt.

It's just posturing at this point, trying to drive down the price.

you left off skinner
hutton
okposo
reinhart
eichel
tim murray
botts
ralph
terry
kim

All the players that are on the list and those that have already moved on seem to have good or great careers elsewhere. ROR, Bogo and this year Little Jo will raise the cup and thank a Sabres GM for it. Trading Jack Eichel is like delivering the Stanley Cup to another city.
and a few others

Nathan MacKinnon just absolutely ate ROR’s lunch all night long.

To be fair, MaKinnon is the third? best forward in the NHL.

He eats most peoples lunches.

The Craig Button interview from yesterday was great on instigators.

I’ll GLADLY stop talking about Risto (like u said you would) if u guys (u, sbroads, etc) would stop bashing him

He’ll likely be traded soon,
and then u guys can celebrate

So you want censure on a hockey discussion board.
Got it.

FTFY

and third is basically 4th or 5th.. so yeah he sucks

Yeah he pretty much nailed it. I hope Adams was taking notes.

And I agree with the above, it’s posturing.

It’s going to be a heck of an off season.

The draft is July 23-24....

When does Adams have a coach in place?

- SabresFaninIndiana

But 2nd is basically first.
so yea he really does suck.

Definitely gonna be a wild offseason, think we all should hope Jack gets healthy, IMO it will affect what his perceived value is.

It was really, really fun to watch MacKinnon dominate. Few more games like that will take the love of the game right out of him

Agreed wholeheartedly.
They will challenge for 1st in the Atlantic next season if they don't incur long-term injuries to key players.

Only thing keeping Colorado from a cup is Grubauer.

They are clearly the best team in the league right now

They’re unreal.

It’s incredible how they were able to somehow recover after trading a Conn Smythe Winner. It didn’t end up being the worst mistake ever that cratered the franchise

Funny how competent management works

They turned Zadorov and two 2nd rounders into Saad and Devon Toews .

the sport is easy when you dont have a 10% hit rate in drafts for 10 straight years

They also haven't had their best defenseman since the end of March. They're a legit team in any division.

Wow tough morning 228. I pegged you more as a small apartment type guy.

Hope things straighten out soon for you. Maybe meet at 1st and 1st. I'll buy you some lunch ☝️

Could they be a team to look at in the upcoming expansion draft, a lot of good players can they protect them all
