The numbers back the eye test. They are 331st out of 331 on expected goal % for combos with a minimum 100 minutes played! Use the site and move the minute slider to 100 minutes. https://moneypuck.com/lines.htm I HATE watching these scrubs. It's unbelievable how low their collective hockey IQs are. They aren't completely overmatched skill wise, but the total lack of instinct and hockey smarts is off the charts. It's so frustrating to watch.

Bar fight!!!!!!!!!

He inspired a group of angry teens to be better.

Yep, he's nothing but class.

I'm not a South Buffalo guy, so I'll say no way I'm giving up any prospects... not even my much maligned Rosen to rent Patrick Kane for a year. I think if you separate the emotional Kane/Buffalo factor no deal makes sense.

Is there any reason why Chicago does this deal, especially since we have nothing but core young pieces to offer? Given we don't want to give up core young pieces, and teams don't give away good players for nothing, this is probably just pie in the sky. I get it though... seeing another good home town guy like Tuch would be pretty cool. The only way Kane would ever make sense would be after he's a UFA, and only if he takes a major home town discount.

This with Eakin-Hayden-Bjork getting regular minutes. Not to mention our other JAGs on defense and in net. Ship them all out next year and replace the with what we've got in the system and maybe a couple slightly better JAGs as filler and we might have something.

Nadeau is 1.41ppg right now in the Q. It seems he would be one of our better prospects, but doesn't seem to be getting much attention. Aside for his stat sheet, does anyone have any insight on him?

Is Bjork-Eakin-Hayden the worst line in the National Hockey League?

Connolly in his very short prime was about as good a forward as we've ever had. I loved watching his dangles. If we got prime Connolly on a long term, we're set!!!!

Thompson looks lost tonight.

Don't confuse the concept of a bust with the concept of a bad pick. Rosen was and has been the latter from the get-go. With the U18's being the notable exception, he's tracking pretty much where you'd expect based on his numbers leading into the draft. Some smart guy down in Texas thought they saw something in him that made him 13th overall material. But I think @sabremike was dead on when he said: "How many times is it going to take to teach NHL GM's that drafting guys based on a junior tournament performance is almost always a real bad idea?" Aa per my usual disclaimer, I badly want to be proven wrong on this and will gladly wear all the egg on my face you guys can toss... In the meantime, I'll reserve the right to be disappointed in the pick.

I was hoping for free... But a price that makes going over just for an evening to watch a game would be my ballpark. Maybe $20 or less? The going rate of $65 I seem to be seeing would be more than I'd want to spend.

Given his season this year, he'll have to come cheap. Given his past production he has the chance of being good. Unless the teams medical staff says otherwise, this seems like a low risk (cost), with a potential for high reward (could score 30 goals).

I would agree with that.

Hopefully his slump will lead to a team friendly contract leading to when he heals up and gets his shot back.

Update: Starting March 1 it sounds like Canadians will only need a lab administered rapid test to get back to Canada instead of a PCR. Is there a spot for cheap or free rapid tests? Mods: Can we get a title change to Cheap Rapid Tests?

I'm Canadian and I'm hoping the same thing.

Stone goes on LTIR to free up cap space for Eichel. Day 1 of the playoffs Stone will magically be good enough to go back in. This circumvention could easily be stopped if the team iced in the playoffs also had to be under the cap. Why did the league allow this loophole? Every cup contending team has at least one or two banged up players that could use a break in exchange for trade deadline rentals. Expect the LTIR floodgates to open if the league doesn't take action.

They could possibly waive tokarski and put Levi in Buffalo. I'm not going to pretend to know what they would or could do with Dell once Tokarski is in ROC, but I don't think the organization would have much use for him at this point.

But... They could sign him and bring him back. I think that's what they're hinting at.

Much respect to the team if they did that!!!!!

It's a disgrace they pulled him out of school for this.

The article says 37 to 27... But the point is all the same.
