The savy thing really bothers you, doesn’t it? These internet GMs sure are sensitive. If the shoe fits..

Cancel culture? Please leave your politics out of here. Looks like I struck a nerve though. You have your coffee yet this morning? Also I find it amusing that you bring up cancel culture and insist that has nothing to do with your take, and then proceed to mention his scandals (when no one else is) as some of your reasons. You were the first person on this thread to mention the sex abuse scandal. Can’t make this stuff up.

Well it would be nice to give fans, particularly STH something to root for. Especially now that we have no star power. But the savy answer is no for whatever reason.

The guy we traded for Hodgnson. Always like him, very scrappy.

I think he is being sincere, I still don’t like him, and he’s right, we do.

I kind of wish he would just embrace the selfish look and play the villain. Think I would respect him more. He could still be just as active with charitable organizations while doing so.

The big question is, will he be back on the ice by 3/10, and how will he be received? I don’t suspect a warm welcoming, though some type of tribute video to him from the organ-eye-zation before the game wouldn’t surprise me.

Glad it’s finally over and I am content with the return, all things considered. What I wish for Jack is a healthy and speedy return to the league, but nothing beyond that. I’m not going to pretend that I wish to see him hoist a Stanley Cup like ROR, I do not. My kids are sad he left and I’m also not going to pretend that I don’t resent him for bailing either. Some have long suspected he was a locker room issue. If we’re being consistent, and he returns to play for Vegas (I hope and suspect he will), that will most likely emerge once again, eventually. We will see. Also, and this is just a theory, but it would not surprise me one bit if the Pegula’s told KA that they want a clean break after all is said and done, thus no salary retention. It makes sense from a cap and future building perspective obviously, but it is plausible this was personal on some type of level for ownership. It’s healthy that the organization has zero ties to him now cap wise. Time to finally move on, for all of us.

Lots of SOG, too many for the poor kid to handle.

This is one of the most absurd things I’ve read here in a long time, and that’s saying something. Stick to hockey.

Yes.

No Zegras, no Jack.

Exactly.

He’s probably posting on Sabrespace under his alias, Thorny. Just a joke 😉

Cuse’s OL looked much improved. Should be a good game against Rutgers this Saturday.

Keeping players hungry and only wanting players who want to be here. I’m liking KA more and more every week that goes by.

How many points does he have to score in his first 24 games if 13 is not enough for you? You are not going to get apples for apples for Jack. You want to get the best piece available, someone that could be a potential 1C. You’re not going to get multiple pieces of his quality. You want quantity apparently, I want quality. I don’t want 2 bottom six players and a couple of draft picks that won’t pan out. Give me an elitish prospect. Here’s the only word I want you to focus on, QUALITY.

You can’t separate Zegras as a prospect and last year’s WJC. Also a 1/4 of an NHL season at a half a PPG is not “nothing”. You are overstating your case because you don’t like my proposal.

So you participate in discussions and arguments about NHL draft picks in other threads but all of a sudden don’t know what happened in the biggest under 20 tournament in the world nine months ago? Lol not sure if I’m buying that.

Nope, I have it right. Basing this on other arguments we’ve had about using it as a measuring tool. This is an extension of that. To say that Zegras has “proved nothing” is absurd and betrays your position into a ridiculous one. k.

What is it with you and the WJC? Sure it’s a short tourney but you have a strange aversion towards it. Zegras has proved he is a top prospect and has scored 13 points in his first 24 NHL games. Considering that KA is looking for futures, what would you want instead? A bunch of lottery tickets? To that I say… no.

Yes.

Agreed. I’d take Zegras for Eichel straight up. Or Rossi plus Kahkonen for Eichel.

Great! Nothing better than Olympic hockey, especially when we actually have our best. Blows the NHL out of the water. Go USMNT! 🇺🇸

But what’s confusing me is how can he be already traded before the surgery without it being public, what would the reason be if it wasn’t conditional? Unless I’m missing something which is possible.
