Nope. This would akin to a band re-recording all their hit songs.

Don’t think we’ll hear anybody losing their love for the game today.

He can. He’ll just have to buy one like the rest of us.

Maybe he’s having 2nd thoughts.

Guess I was a man before my time.

What does roached mean and are they going to have the cap space to give him a decent contract?

The guy has been playing for weeks on said injured shoulder. When his coach starts to criticize his lackluster play, suddenly he needs surgery, a few games before season is going to conclude and they are pushing for a playoff spot. Your turn, how is this not quitting?

…And he quits on the team. Hope this doesn’t provide them a spark.

Probably a bad example. All the Vegas Knights were “imported” on those teams. Otherwise, I agree.

I think this is pretty much what the Bills do…on the surface. But, I imagine the conversations behind closed doors are much different; transparent and respectful. We now have former players begging to come back and play for the Bills, but this may simply be a function of these players wanting to play for a winning team. Or, it’s a combination of both the culture and winning.

Yes, the Bills do this, but they have also yet to win a Super Bowl while having Super Bowl talent. I’m not saying the Bills won’t win one, but the sports world is littered with teams who have won the offseason only to get bounced prematurely from the playoffs. I want the Bills to win, but Beane is walking a very fine line here. Again, it comes back to personalities weighed against talent. You need to build a team and be transparent with the “correct” players at the same time.

Sounds like a lot of people on here want a better draft pick. It’s a simple as that.

There can never be enough said for not messing up prospects. It’s a clear win in my book.

It’s interesting seeing Skinner 2 points away from passing his career high and TNT already at career highs. It’s tempting to wonder how we would be if Jack was still on the team. Or, would Skinner and TNT be enjoying this success if he was? I don’t think so. I think these were 2 players who elevated their game due to the vacuum.

I believe the VA calls this PTSD.

It’s hard to argue he isn’t a 1C.

He better, or he may be that surprise player we move for a goalie.

This doesn’t look good. I wanted Lehner to command this sinking ship and it looks like Thompson has been playing better anyhow.

Love it.

Maybe Jack will suggest an artificial patella?

Would be very hesitant to pluck players from a team with a reported “culture” issue.

My guess is that’s it’s like a tournament, but he’s getting paid a good amount. Maybe even enough to buy a new car. 🤷‍♂️

Are you judging it a mistake because ROR would go on to win a SC and the Conn Smythe? That just too hindsighty for me. His success on the Blues had nothing to do with the Sabres at that point. Context matters and he was sent to a place that would accommodate him and put him in a place to succeed. That wasn’t going to happen on the Sabres. And since that SC winning season, it hasn’t happened again on the Blues.
