  1. It's pretty clear the nucleus of the team is manifesting.  Risto, Eichel, Sam, and O'Reilly (McGinn as honorable mention).  Obviously O'Reilly being the only player via trade.  So with that I would have liked to see more of the players we traded for become part of the nucleus this year.  I'd argue we haven't really had a nucleus for a very long time so it's an exciting future. 

     

    The trades for me still represent hope and a big part of that are Kane and Bogo.  I personally like Franson and think this may have been one of Murray's nicer moves. 

     

    If Girgensons and Ennis wake up and Pysyk continues his improvement these are the guys that become very important in terms of how good we get.

     

    Sorry guys just sort of random thoughts.

  2. For all involved I hope this is all a big misunderstanding and no further info about either party is leaked during the remainder of the investigation. Its not fair to form opinions either way nor should it be allowed to "leak" info about either party involved. By the time the investigation is complete the "court" of public opinion will have solved this case umpteen thousand ways.

     

    Unfortunately public opinion is now used by both sides of a legal argument.  These cases are tried in public opinion court on purpose so I'd be careful on blaming the public for having an opinion.

  3. Right, nobody is arguing against new threads. You could make the argument that it's easier for new posters to jump in if the threads are named better, too.

     

    Have I argued against the need to have threads named better?  Not sure you followed my point - but I get it you really really don't like threads that aren't named better.

  4. Just type the stuff into the subject, it's not that hard.

     

     

    Better than than 20 new posts with 20 words total in the subjects.

     

    It's not difficult for sure and I agree that short titles are not descriptive enough to determine whether you want to click on it or not - but I'd take 20 new posts over one post with 75 pages.  Like I said in earlier posts it makes it somewhat difficult for new members to jump in.

  5. I think the Lightning can afford to take less because of their embarrassment of riches they already possess, doesn't mean they will but i feel Yzerman is very confident and trusts his coach as well. Stamkos has a no movement or limited no movement this year correct? If so then that eliminates the pretenders right away.

     

    No one takes less because they can afford to.  They can't afford everything and that's the point. 

  6. TB would insist on Reinhart, O'Reilly, and Risto & additional. Quite likely Girgensons is gone too.

     

    Sabres would have 2 incredible blocks to build around but the rest of this season would get ugly as their 2nd & 3rd lines are once again staffed w/ 4th liners & AHLers.

     

    After suffering through the tank, not ready to see them high in the AM derby even though they'd come away w/ the best player in the deal.

     

    There's no way they have that much leverage to command those 4 players and they know it.  They're the one's in a bad spot not the Sabres.

  7. If the opportunity truly presented itself to acuire a player like Stamkos there's no one on the roster besides Jack that should stop that.  With that said obviously it would take multiple players and picks and I'm pretty sure there's not any two players on our roster that I wouldn't trade besides Jack.

  8.  

    I met Perreault once in a sauna at a racquetball court; he was just wearing a towel, and yes, he was incredibly bow-legged.

     

    I actually had the opposite impression of Jack though.  When looking at the goal view of the shortie the other night, I was struck by how wide Jack's stride was when he accelerated.

     

     

     

    I'm not sure if that's his normal stride as I'm not as well versed as most of you - but it would seem on this play the wide stride was to shield from the defender until he was passed him.  If you look close his first few weren't wide - then got wider as he got closer to the blue line - then he just coasted as he set up his choice of shot.

  9.  

    Eleven received a "significant" offer once at a hotel bar from Morgan Fairchild.

    It is unclear how large the overall package was :flirt: , but if the offer went through, it would have seen Eleven going up to Morgan's room, one source told Robins Egg.

    The offer, another source confirmed, was "seriously" considered by Eleven, but the deal was later "nixed" by Fairchild.

     

     

    Do you think Fairchild would hinder us in extending O'Reilly?

  10. No.  Tim Murray wasn't going to trade Eichel plus for Stamkos.  It goes against his careful planning.  Also, in 2 years I think Eichel will be a better overall player than Stamkos. 

     

    Do you think it's possible Buffalo would take a run at Stamkos in a trade later in the year or if he becomes a FA?
