E is for Eichel, here is hoping that he dominates the NHL through the 2020’s.

I missed the part where I was supposed to nominate something for hockey in general as well. So for C I will add Cup, as in Stanley for hockey.

For C I offer Crozier, both Joe and Roger

My first thought was fried bologna sandwiches but I guess that can be F.

So is it true that the Pegula’s and Del Reid are actually working together on this?

Wookie, as you said previously, you’ve gotten better at your valuation but it’s still startling to see you criticize some bazaar trade scenario, even when you are 100% correct.

What’s that saying about a blind squirrel......

I was telling someone how this was bound to happen. Even though they know it’s a business, players don’t like to be treated Like assets.

Him and Hall work out together so they must like each other. I guess the question is how did he and Staal get along in Carolina.

There is absolutely zero chance the team starts the season with Hutton and Ulmark. I wouldn’t be surprised if by the time the Bills play tomorrow that another goalie has been acquired.

I think Columbus and a surprise team, Colorado have all been sniffing around Risto and Montour. I’d be shocked if one of them isn’t part of package for a goalie.

This. He has said it is a center and two wingers in his system. Doesn’t matter right or left.

Y’all told me free agency was through and TPEGS was broke.

He can, and might.

What you have to ask yourself, would you rather Hall go to Boston and Toffoli to Buffalo or Hall to Nashville and Toffoli to Boston?

I don’t necessarily think they will sign a big free agent although I believe they think they can. However, after the dust settles, there are teams desperately trying to dump cap space. I believe, for instance, that their goalie will either be one of Arizona’s, Columbus or MAF. I also believe they gave a fall back position for a top six winger.

So far yes, unless they are actually playing it smart, being patient and getting into any crippling contracts. I think most would agree that they overpaid for Girgs buy it’s not like it’s this huge albatross either. I think we will know more once the big five or six players sign.

He’s like Prospal but not as talented. He’s not good enough for my top six so I don’t want to pay him that much. Again, they bring different things but I’m on board with believing they overpaid for Zemgus.

It’s not as simple as that. This isn’t fantasy hockey. It’s about building a team not getting the twelve most offensively talented guys. I’m not a Mitts fan and Lazar is someone you need in the 13th forward position. I believe the others bring things to the table that Kahun does not. At this point I wouldn’t mind Kahun coming back but only on a $1.75M deal.

He was great for a few years and excelled when he played with high end guys.

Two teams gave up on him. Over 100 contracts have been signed since yesterday. He’s still standing and the chairs are filling up. Maybe he’s not as good as everyone thinks. He might just have the Vinny Prospal disease. Not good enough fir the top 6, doesn’t bring to the table what teams want in the bottom six.

We still have two young superstars, three or four other high end talents and a coach I believe in. This team is a goaltender and a top 6 forward away. And believe it or not, they are out there and the Sabre’s could be the last team standing with the ability to acquire.

And I’m 60 and there were a lot lower times. Not only that, but I believe that this team has the right coach and GM and will be a playoff team if there actually is a season,

Wow, I’m surprised you feel this way.

Because guys don’t have to take the most money offered. Plus, he’s really not that good.
