You really think Sheehan's contract is inflated?

Asplund is more likely to be watching as a healthy scratch than a "key part" of the line up

Girgs would clear waivers, Asplund wouldn't. They aren't comparable players.

Should have bet the dolphins +4 and the under .....

You ain't kiddin'. The stats say my instincts were correct, but the score is all that matters to Vegas. Mother Nature, along with Father Time, remain the champions. Though Tom Brady continues a futile battle with Father Time.

No team saves 2.2m for a 4LW.

Last year the Sabres 4th line was called upon to play the top forwards night in night out. Not every team does it that way. When you have a Barkov or Bergeron etc you present the matchup nightmare to the other team. Is this the transition year where our "4th line" is expected to score a modicum of points?

Asplund - Cozens - Tuch, for example, would be a line I would try and match against Austin Matthews AND I would want them to be + players at the end of the game. Last season, that's all Eakin Okposo and Girgs. Good defensively, but only scoring by accident.

Girgs had ATOI of 14 minutes last season.
Are you telling me the other team's best players averaged 14 minutes a night?
Bold strategy if so.

We both know they don't have 2.2m in their budget for anything.

Bingo. Well, except 1 did/does.

It's his last season, let him skate on his knees for another year... then bye bye.

I'm telling you in those 14 minutes a night Eakin's line (thus Z) played against the best forwards. The other time against the best forwards were usually our top line and the Cozens, Krebs, Vinnie line that got caved in routinely.

Mits Asplund and Vic generally saw bottom 6. And did quite well.

Gus could put up 30 goals as 2C in Arizona.

College atmosphere is girgensons friendly

I think you're having a laugh with Bossman but Arizona would pick him up imo. They'd get a pick at the deadline

I'm just messing around, kind of half-serious. He's not going to be waived, but I do think he'd clear.

I do. He's a decent 4LW and a good soldier. In today's NHL, that's worth about 1m.

What do you think of Rousek? Girgs replacement next year, imo.
