Hall was a unique situation
Using that for an example doesn’t project going forward
And it’s even worse now that Jack & Sam supposedly want out

I appreciate your optimism
But until i KNOW they’re staying
And until we actually get some good goalies here
I’m not gonna assume that’s gonna happen
When/if it does.....
then I’ll be less pessimistic sir

Funny, I don't think we're last place next year if we trade Jack/Samson for nothing, if we resign Ullmark and get him a decent backup. But whatevs.

$1/month is well worth it (at least to me, and especially now, with all the Sabres stuff going on)

That’s fine
For me, most of these articles are just repetitive drivel without much substance

Kane for Okposo and Skinner and a 7th

We’re likely getting back mostly futures & cap dumps imo for them

Many of Harrington's articles are opinions, though, and are very interesting, whether you agree with the writer or not

1- not “watching closely” is different than not seeing it at all
So what u said said was an exaggeration of what i said & not correct

2- Allen was not good his rookie season before the injury
I was right about that
He obviously has ended up working out
But back then, he was mostly a mess

3- weird how u have time to look that up but not post all these worse charges you’ve been seeing
And again, even if there were....
it still doesn’t mean the hot on Evans wasn’t a charge
It’s the textbook definition

If u wanna claim the NHL is inconsistent.....
well no sh!t
But that was still a charge

yeah josh sucked year 1

who was those wr's?


then in year 2 the wr's were better and he looked ok


shal I pull the archives when you said no way in hell he would get 4,000 passing yards and bump his comp % to close to 65%


I mean I can find that one as well, may take a little longer


#wr's don't matter much

Well isn't that all we have as fans is hope and projection.

Then why say something if it really doesn't matter.

Granato had a better record than Ralph without Eichel, McCabe, Ullmark, Staal or Hall

Even if he gets players half as good as them the team is better



If they keep donnie meatballs

You think a 20 goal 50-60 point winger is worth the 2nd overall pick? You're gonna be surprised that he's not and you're gonna get no where near what you think for Eichel either.
- GPHawksfan

Sam had 25goals this season,
good for top10 in the nhl
Would’ve prorated out to 38goals in an 82game season
Also, It’s a weak draft

And idc what u think we are gonna get for Eichel
Thanks for stopping by though
Have a nice day

So you think they would trade both Jack and Samson with not one NHL ready player coming back?

This is going a bit further than pessimism fitzy, no offense meant. Pretty easy to expect the worst given our track record.

This is very true for the last 15 years....

Makes you really think about taking Power.. I still would like Anaheims 3rd and get Eklund.

Would not be disappointed in a Eichel for Zegras and 3OA straight up.

The return will depend on his neck. Is he fine? Will he need surgery? Will he be back this year?

I’d want at least 1 more really good piece

To NJD: 1st Overall Pick
D Rasmus Ristolainen
+2021 5th/MTL

To BUF: 4th Overall Pick (D Simon
Edvinsson)
1st/via NYI (24-31st Overall/
LW S. Roberttsson)
RW Dawson Mercer
D Will Butcher
2021 2nd/NYI+5th/BUF

Frees ya Up to Add to a “bunch of needs,” while still getting quality. Idk why, Owen Power reminds me more of Griffin Reinhart and less of Scott Stevens the more I watch him online. If I’m BUF, I gladly capitalize on NJ’s NEED to add a big body D-man while shipping out a guy who’s vocalized not wanting to be here in Risto. With 3 2nd’s and 3 3rd’s you can add HQ depth like RW Chase Stillman, RD Roman Schmidt, C/LW Cam MacDonald, G Tristan Lennox, and may have a 2nd/3rd left to trade back up for a 1st. Options galore.

Player of the game for power

Tremendous hindsight analysis. Tremendous.

Maybe maybe not. IMO he could possibly have hurt his team on a play that didn't need to happen.

Even if we get Byfield + back for Jack,
he’s gonna have less effect than Eichel did

So correct
I don’t believe the young players we get back for them will be of a significant help for NEXT season
As they grow & develop moving forward, sure
Just not much right away
And certainly not close to as much right away as Jack & Sam brought

Calling power a bust yet you want him 1st overall

I'm with you. Not trying to make too many excuses, but with covid hitting, literally everyone being snakebit and the injury bug hitting hard...we had very little shot this year to do well. Not sure why people think it's destined to repeat. Could. That'd be incredibly unlucky, probability says lightning won't strike twice.

They were .75 pts/game under Don, still worst in the league.

The divisions certainly had a big impact.

And yours

you really need to learn how to bring it

Guess it all depends on what Adams and Karmanos want in exchange for those players. Like you have said can't project things until you actually see it.

Power making things more difficult for buffalo after this game lol
