That is true, was reading that Edmonton has had a uptick in cases, one of their hospitals had to stop receiving patients cause they had no more beds.

Well if we were to get him, hopefully he isn't injury prone, but for the last 3 years he has missed 13 games or more each season.
- Buff36


Yes, but do you consider eichel "injury prone"

Recent Injury was rib cartilage. Not knee surgery or concussion

We're not talking about rinofan's guy - Rob Johnson

Asplund & a pick for Henrique
Montour & Tage for Boeser

Olofsson-Jack-Sam
Skinner-Henrique-Boeser
MoJo-Cozens-Kahun
Routsalainen-Larsson-Okposo

Would need to figure out LD3 on the cheap
But i like that forward group...
especially with Mitts starting in Rochester & hopefully dominating

oh my!

just what we needed...imo, the only way you should draw a comparison between those two is the fact that they're both 'Muricans who were drafted in 2015

- Michael Pachla



Curious about why stats are considered an arguable point, when in comes to the 2nd overall pick from 2014?

That's different?

Eichel has been pretty solid 3 out of 5, the ankle's were very unlucky, Don't think so, but who knows.

Moneyball line: If his shot is so great, why has his shooting percentage dropped precipitously the last 2 seasons?

Dinged up again this year. Remember the 17 game point streak ending via injury. He played thru most of it. Despite not being able to take faceoffs.


Interesting stat I noticed - eichel a +5 this season

Yeah, I think having a few better players on this team would help Jack's health a lot. The guy is keyed on so much.

Quick google of top 100 nhl players.

Obviously subjective, but not sure if we're getting him a for a glorified 12 foot tall ahler +

Good point.

Maybe a little more toughness thru out the lineup discourages some of the blatant big hits.

Just an opinion

I’d take Bosser over Reinhart all day if we talking 1 for 1 and Sam doesn’t want to play center.

Jack might prefer a passer like Reinhart tho. Prob why he didn’t want Skinner on his line, Jeff was getting too much of the credit as the goal scorer.

Seriously? I’ll just leave that there
U should know how ridiculous that sounds

If u look at Scoring stats, Sam & Boeser are pretty close
Sam ranked a little higher analytically

What kind of return would u expect for Sam?
I’d say a top4 defenseman & good RW prospect who’s about β€œNHL ready” seems in the ballpark

Obviously it would depend if they think Tage is a 20goal scorer like Homie,
or if they don’t like him much like me

My trade scenario assumes they like him
