What was it… Price, danault (LA), Hoffman?, the offer sheet guy… that’s 4 solid pieces missing right there…

Does caufield, ‘22 first, plus, plus, plus?… get anywhere on an eichel deal? Do the even have another 2-3 pieces that would help?

Caufield
22 first. - unprotected
23 first - conditioned/ protected
+ - any RHD worth acquiring?
+ - division/conference compensation

- Gr8daygo


Plus Weber, Tatar and Corey Perry

the songs that the players picked for their goal song I'm guessing some of the old vets won't like
- gerbe75pts


But that’s ok because I love the individual goal songs!

How was the arena last night? The kids looked fast and aggressive on the TVs.

I don’t expect playoffs. But keep up the compete and aggressive style of play.

Well I doubt there’s any movement anytime soon so it’s difficult to say.

Read back through,
6-8 weeks is very tough. Bury Eakin in Rochester and play Routsalainen and Hayden full time.
Tage to 1c, Cozens to 2c, Routs to 3c, Hayden 4c

- lulags


They will not bury Eakin. Despite what we think he’s valued in the room and on the PK etc.

No Price, No Weber, short season, played in the Canadian division all of last year, were built more like a playoff team in the 90's to hit hard and slow other teams down.

There's really no good excuse, after most of the experimenting at C in the preseason failed. An injury was inevitable, and now they are left with no good options.

I was just about to post this. Kyle has shown more class in one day than a certain someone did in the past 5 years.

And is he throwing a little shade at the three amigos? I think he is.

Yeah like the part about guy's even staying in the locker room and talking. Doesn't sound like much of that was going on lately.

Maybe ppl can stop b!tching about him wearing the “A” now
It’s not like we had “good” choices otherwise
And the guy (while overpaid) has played his role quite well since moving to the checking line

“I finished tracking Minnesota’s games last week and Ryan Johnson’s numbers are nuts from that weekend. I know it’s Mercyhurst but here’s the 5v5 data:

Shot share: 69%
HD share: 66%
Shot attempts: 7
Primary shot assists: 6
Secondary: 2
Controlled exits: 71%

1 G & 1 A too.”

https://twitter.com/cmded.../1449085675605794818?s=21

I had him ranked ahead of Peterka, Quinn, and Rosen on my preseason Sabres prospect lists and it wasn’t too popular.

I stand by it despite Peterka looking studly. I think we are really sleeping on Ryan Johnson as a solid top 4 d-man for a long time
