Based on the team's statement it certainly sounds like there is some merit due to what they've found so far in their investigation.

I'm tired of hearing all this crap, enough already.

Probably blinked the wrong way or pointed his finger, people are getting ridiculous.

Well, the risk is mostly unknown. The best comparison would be between a fusion, the ADR, and no surgery.

The risks of both the fusion and no surgery are known, and the ADR seems like it may have a better long-term prognosis, but how much are you willing to bet on it?

Vegas likes the bet; specially for the pile of poop, in comparison to what they may be getting, they gave up.

Vegas is incurring all the risk for a low cost. Especially when you also consider them not making the move and getting bounced again because they have little talent down the middle, then people start losing their jobs.

I don't know how long the deal was on the table, but it's an absolute no-brainer for Vegas.

I’m not sure it’s a no brained for Vegas …. ITs very risky

On top of a risky surgery that has never been done in an NHL player.

Eichel hasn’t played healthy in forever I feel like and hasn’t played a full season in 3 actual years.

Eichel played in 68 of the 69 games during the COVID shortened 19-20 season and 77 of the 82 games during the 18-19 season?

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

There are going to be a lot more to come out.

Good, that's less i'll watch and it\s not just sports, it's everyday.

Give Cozens wingers to capitalize on his possession and transition game and he’ll be just fine. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

The problem is that after his controlled entries, he pulls up and passes the puck backwards to no one

Like 3 times a game.

He has to keep going hard to the net or cycle it hard around rather than dumping it back to no one

Vinny and the Drake do him no favors though

Both of them are possession killers

Kid is progressing nicely. It's nice to see a lot of the prospects progressing and having good years. Yes there only prospects, but excitement for the future.

Hate the Drake

Idk, I'm not going to blame his linemates. He just needs to make smarter decisions with the puck.

He's not making hard, decisive plays with the puck right now. He or the puck (preferably both) need to keep moving toward the net and that's not happening right now.

Girgs-Cozens-Okposo would be a good trio with the way the roster is currently constructed

It would. And the down low cycle game that those two play would work for Cozens. All three of them can play that game.

Just a quick counterpoint to the winger thing with Cozens: Skinner has been very effective since moving to Thompson’s line. I don't think you can pin lack of production on his wingers

They played together last night a couple times I believe

That’s fine with me but Eakin will then destroy whatever line he’s moved to unless they sit him when Mittelstadt comes back

They sit together in the lockerroom. I believe cozensons between the captains.

On paper they could protect him and stick up for him.









They can't 😐

Just curious, do you base all player evaluation on underlying numbers?

Cool mustaches and/or mullets are not a consideration?

Well I don't think they need to step up for him, especially Okposo, but they could probably help get his confidence back. Okposo seems to have found that wrist shot again. And they both work the boards well.

Lol. No not considered.

Eakin has been ok but I’m banking on him being the player he’s always been

😀 . Obviously I give bonus points...

Just wondered what his numbers looked like. 2 goals 3 points in 7 games is decent. -4 not so good.

1 point last 6 games.

He is who he is

This Dalvin Cook story is weird.

His lawyer says he was the victim of domestic violence and is being blackmailed

She releases a "text message" looks like it's from Instagram but it looks doctored.
