For those interested in hockey cards. The Dahlin rookie is edging up the price chart.

The vibes are star-worthy for Tage Thompson

Anytime a player has a breakout year, there are questions of whether it was a fluke or indicative of who they’re becoming. Thompson is quickly proving the latter, with 14 goals and 28 points through 22 games. That puts him on pace for 52 goals and 104 points, which would obviously crush his previous highs of 38 goals and 68 points in 78 games last year. So far, that’s proving the Sabres’ management right to extend him a year early to a seven-year, $50 million contract.

Thompson is shooting above his average this year, though lower than last year’s 15 percent spike. But he’s putting up a lot of shots and quality scoring looks, which adds a level of sustainability to the mix. With about 25 shot attempts per 60, he’s third in the league to only David Pastrnak and Timo Meier among skaters with 100 minutes of ice time. When factoring in the quality of those shots, he’s 11th in expected goal generation. Factor in that shooting talent and his goals rate of 2.07 per 60 is fourth to Valeri Nichushkin, Jason Robertson and Bo Horvat.

The standout is how he’s scoring. Thompson is a force on the ice. He’s can be so dominant with the puck on his stick, showing the finesse he has while using his size and strength to his advantage. And that’s leading to not just highlight-reel goals, but setups to his trusty linemates Jeff Skinner and Alex Tuch.

That strength on the puck, along with his ability to read plays, is making him a player to watch even when the puck doesn’t end up in the back of the net. That’s what’s making him one of the most exciting players in the league this season.

The standard Beniers young guns is already well over $100. I bought a pop count 100 Beniers rookie last week. I offered the guy 2/3rds of what he asked and he took it (still a good price). I don't think he'd take the same offer today.

No it's not. Krebs was awful. He's not an NHL player. Mitts is inconsistent, a hallmark of many a top round bust. Krebs is bad all the time, a hallmark of a 21 year old who shouldn't be in the NHL.

And, as I've said over the years, fans value expected statistics far more than teams. I have never heard a team directly mention expected whatever, but I have heard them talk about zone entries over a rolling time space, things that are actually countable.

??? You have a point I assume.

If Krebs isn't gonna play, send him down see if Rousek Krebs Kulich can become a line, if they do and bam you have your 3rd line

I am not a huge fan of Krebs, but he's got talent and if you want him to be a part of this Organization he's gotta play games. Kulich might not be as offensively gifted as JJ, but they play very similar games. And Rousek has a great shot and is a pain in the A$$ to play against plus Kulich and Rousek already play a solid 200ft game. Might not work, but what development are you doing having MittSnickerdoodle out there. And I don't want to hear, there trying to build up his Value, if anything they ruined it.

If you're making a 3rd line for next year, doesn't it start with Krebs + Savoie?

And Granato has made some really odd line choices at times. But having to play certain players is coming from somewhere else, it has to be.

When Mitts loafed to the bench and cost them a goal, you know there would have been a response. Miss having a coach with some fire.

"Peyton Krebs will go into the lineup for the Sabres tonight. He's going to center Casey Mittelstadt and Victor Olofsson."

Rotation is working so well for them, keep it going.

You just triggered the convo policeman with that take. Get ready for the "a coach showing emotion is meaningless and doesnt lead to wins" lecture.

That's fine. Not a fight I'm going to get drawn into.

Krebs is a left handed briere. If he figures out the nhl. The vision and passing is there

The speed and shot is not. But that takes time. He needs nhl games to get up to speed

Look at Quinn and power. Both are coming around

17 becoming the new face of the NFL?
People Magazine with a story about the Buffalo Bills QB


Allen recently hurt his right elbow during his Nov. 6 face off against the New York Jets.....But he says this injury wasn't much of a concern.
"I think there may be things that you need to protect yourself from, but I think with the type of injury that I had, I didn't think it was too significant to play through," Allen tells PEOPLE. "Not for me personally."
It's a thing where I feel like I need to be out on that field to help my team win football games and if I can go, I'm going to go," Allen passionately tells PEOPLE. "And that's really all there is to that."

I rather have John brown on the outside and gabe in the slot

So, we still want to send Quinn down to the AHL? Or should we just put him on unconditional waivers you buncha impatient malcontents?
