  1. Alex Nylander goes 1G 1A for the Blue Jackets and is named 2nd star. Bernier bump?
  2. Much easier zone entry with a 4-3, they seem to really struggle with those. I like Mitts as an option on PP1.
  3. I like the low + rebound option, easier for oncoming players to get a rebound than Dmen skating backwards.
  4. I thought Krebs had a good period. RyJo is a deceptive puck mover, he makes smart plays and can skate well.
  5. I am a retired tradesperson, work finds its way to me, so I can pick and choose what I find interesting and or lucrative.
  6. Good thing he has a few more years on his guaranteed contract.
  7. Florida does not have a designated tough guy, like some people like to talk about. They play a tough and heavy game, finishing checks, hard on the forecheck and muck it up in scrums before and after whistles. This is an example of heart, grit and determination. I don’t like them but they stood up to and rolled over the mighty Bruins with this attitude and have kept it going this season.
  8. I guess that is possible. He could turn VO for a 5th into a 3rd by retaining 50%. I just don’t like that he hasn’t used this tool since he started. The retention slots have been blank for 4 years.
  9. This happens on so many deals, it amazes me how KA loves draft picks and stocking prospects yet never brokers a deal for picks. TP should drill another well just for this purpose. Cap space for picks, no brainer.
  10. I’ve disliked them since they got Tkachuk, he added an element they didn’t have and elevated their swagger. He will not drop the gloves like Brady, which frustrates opponents even more. I dislike their cocky, in your face attitude but it helps them win games. I want the Sabres to get grittier, KA needs to replace the current 4th line with Hathaway, Clutterbuck, Lafferty, Goodrow types. At the very least playing these guys more often should thicken the skin of the current softer guys and get them playing a bit tougher. Games like this can help galvanize the team and create a them vs the world mentality.
  11. I would expect some major moves there. The new ownership and management team have no ties to any of these players. Like Buffalo, they expected to be in the hunt this year.
  12. Please, please wipe that smirk off of Montour’s face. I swear he does it to pi** me off. If they play their A game they have a chance. UPL can do his part, they need a scorer or two to step up.
  13. His wife is from New Jersey, that sometimes has an impact on destination.
  14. It’s the equivalent of Eric Robinson, why would you spend extra on something the fans could get excited about.
  15. Matthew has put up better numbers than Brady. Brady brings more from the toughness aspect because he will drop the mitts and take on just about anyone.
  16. Kucherov has 160 points in 142 playoff games. MacKinnon has 100 points in 77 playoff games, better ppg average.
  17. I love Levi and I think that he is a part of the future in Buffalo. UPL has taken the #1 job and KA must support him properly by bringing in an experienced backup next season. Levi could beat that guy out but that is the chance these backups take when they sign. Levi starting in Rochester next year is OK and there will be opportunities to come up. Almost every team has used 3 goalies at some point.
