Whole lotta assumptions going on in here. Just because they talked, doesn’t mean that KA wants to trade Jack. Who called whom? Is he calling teams and saying what’ll you give me, or are they calling him and asking what’ll it take to get him? And GMs talk all the time. I just don’t get why everyone is so eager to get rid of Jack. He’s an unbelievable talent, under a decent contract for 5 more years. Get’m healthy and get him some teammates and start ***** winning. The Sabres need to stop getting rid of their good players.

I read this and it makes me think of that question, “when did you stop beating your wife.” Do we actually know that Adams wants to move Jack? Is there a direct quote I missed?

Eichel does not get traded. Eichel heals. Eichel gets his act together (I don’t think it has been.) Eichel scores 40 and leads us to the playoffs. Risto scores the GWG in game seven of the opening series.

Yep. Saw that after. Woulda been funny, though.

Sorry, I should have said “wouldn’t” lose money. I’m sure they would rather go deep into the playoffs with a chance to win the Cup over an extra $5MM.

Interesting. Still, they didn’t lose money.

Of course it’s easier to use the Sabres, because they don’t have anyone who’ll be missed. The GKs just went deep into the playoffs, though. They had ten home playoff games. That means they most likely made more than $21MM. As a Sabres fan, it’s pretty obvious that MAF is not easily replaced, and Vages would rather go deep into the playoffs again next year.

I meant Vegas.

No matter who is on the air, there will be someone who doesn’t like them. They usually squawk the loudest. Whatever. I didn’t hate Pierre. And until the Sabres end up ahead of the Sens in the standings, I will say nothing of his hockey acumen.

I’m guessing they get more than 17 million by just being good.

Can we please have have a LGR approved ceiling for Power, to be used going forward, so we don’t have to read one of these overly sensitive posts crying about our uninformed incorrect comparisons? Of which we weren’t.

What are they? There are other symbols, too. I don’t know what they mean, either.

I never said he’d be Hedman. As an example, I asked if Hedman would ever be on a skating and stick handling list. You saw what you wanted to see. FTR, I genuinely don’t know who should be picked first, but I find Eklund the most intriguing.

I have not seen one person say that Powers is the second coming of Hedman. Literally not one person.

Gotcha. Just reread my post. I didn’t make myself clear. Sorry.

I'm not arguing if I think it is important. I'm arguing that I people rank these things very differently, especially when it comes to defensmen and bigger skaters. They don't make lists and doodlebugs do. Remember, it was Skinner and Goodrow in the AS skills final. I wouldn't want either one playing D. Settle down. See what having an agenda leads to.

Hockey IQ, obviously, but,... Risto is a good skater.

Oh, brother. Yes, that's what I'm saying. When compared to doodlebug forwards, no D is ever going to crack that list (as I can't see the article, I don't know if any did.) How many times would Chara or Hedman make a list of puck handling skaters.

Who cares? Not sure what, if anything, it has to do with being a good defenseman.

I almost forgot to brag. Only good thing to come out of this season.

While impressive, and it really is, shorter guys always look better a those type of drill. It tells me nothing about if he will end up a great NHL player or not.

C”mon, Montreal. I just don’t want hockey to end. Plus, ***** Tampa.

That wasn’t a trip. He tried to draw the penalty. The only difference is that they would have given it to Tampa,

Absolutely. And there is no way I’m paying for wife beaters. Anywhere that is appropriate for me to wear a purchased wife beater (meaning, nowhere that anyone is going to see me in it,) a cut off sleeveless tee is fine.

I just want it known that I am currently wearing a t-shirt with the sleeves cut off. It’s not because I’m insecure, though. It’s because, well, my wife likes it and, um, I pretty much do what she tells me to do. Plus, it’s really ***** hot. (the temperature, not me wearing a sleeveless tee, you creeps)
