He's way too old for that.

This is fair

They should all play at least a few games at the start of the season. They get 8 right? If they play a ninth a year goes off the contract?
- DirtyDan

No, that's just for junior players, playing on an NHL contract.

Once they play ten games, the first year of their ELC kicks in.

Anyone playing in Rochester already has their ELC effective.

Applies to 18 and 19 year olds. Quinn slide last year, and can again this year.

Add 1, 9 and 10. Of those names, only applies to Peterka.

If you're thinking along those lines, why make them the first games?
- Lunaion

It doesn't apply to either. Weissbach and Peterka are both Rochester or Buffalo bound.

Hm. Alrite. I remember that applied to Nylander.

It did. It gets intertwined with the rule that doesn't let 18/19 old CHL kids play in the AHL.

Thanks for the touch up lads. I use to remember all the rules when playing NHL Gm mode.

It's a decent concession from the NHLPA to slide contracts for non-Major Junior players to keep their ELCs in tact for a few more years.

I have a darker view on that. The NHLPA goes out of their way to cheat younger players for the benefit of vets. Teams are going to spend $, it's just a matter of where it goes.

I think at first you'd be right, like walking out of the last CBA in 2012. But now, only the elite are being paid, and Jeff Skinner, and the middle class is getting the shaft big time.

Does Lesean McCoy make it into the HOF ?

Stafford averaged out as a 20 goal, 22 assist, 42 point guy across his entire career.

That’s including the last few years of his career where he was mostly meh.

Quinn being a 45-50 point guy across the prime of his career is exactly what I expect.

Which are worst stats from the worst player in the Sabres history, Sam Reinhardt.

I disagree.

He might make it, but it wont be easy.

Big Bob's preseason 2022 ranks come out today.

I want to hear all of your non-Shane Wright takes.

Clarify: He easily qualifies. He has the numbers.

This take on Peterka from EP to me defines why he's ready for NHL competition. I still personally want to see him start in Rochester.

His unrelenting motor is a force multiplier in every zone. He's hard on every puck. He's an eager, willing combatant in board battles. He's violent, disruptive -- a real pain in the ass. He'll make second and third efforts where other players generally relent. He's rarely, if ever stationary, constantly scanning the ice when the puck isn't on his stick.

The following players have received a blood transfusion from the Latvian Locomotive:

Asplundsons-Cozensons-Thompson
Peterkasons-Ruotsalainensons-Weissbach
Murraysons-Malonesons-Quinn
Larry-Bad Larry-Haydensons

Our right wingers need to be more like Latvian Larry.

We might have hit on multiple 2nd rounders over a few years

All have decent to good NHL projections

Thompsonsons is right there for the taking

Sorry MP, flagged this. I apologize if Stripes perma bans you.

But he's a winger. That's all I wanted to say.

No worries. I do that all the time. Bad case of fat fingers (thumbs)
