And Fox is on a non playoff team

Ghost bear was top 5 d in the league and a couple years later passed waivers

Eichel was always half the problem. Hell of a player, but had too much ego that no coach or veteran in Buffalo could touch with a ten foot pole. This outcome was inevitable if he didn’t find his way on his own, and injury problems found him first. I hope we get young players and not first round picks.

The good humor is entirely centered around Moira

It’s because of Buffalo tanking for Reinhart it exists

Lest we forget Reinharts heroic end of season awakening he has done every freaking year of his career. Stats junkies won’t plot production vs games played year after year and see how he is invisible until any hope of playoffs is over and then he starts padding stats. There’s no doubt he has the talent. The gripe is that he chooses not to use it properly. At least he’s playing center now, but he’s still the guy not tying up a stick in front of the net as he doesn’t play physical at all, allowing critical goals when the other team is actually pushing hard.

Because we all saw what Mahomes did to him and ‘just another year’ isn’t the hope needed to not have him undressed like that next time. Half a new d line is a start, but let’s see Not hearing the trade calls on him. Just that he isn’t worth banking on. which goes back to a strategy McBeane have been using for the drafts- they go for physical traits over skill and trust in their coaching. That’s a very boom or bust type of strategy. I’m not saying it’s wrong, but it also means they’ve got to smarten up and call their handpicked spades a spade when push comes to shove. and Edmunds is trying to bank in after we take his 5th year option. It matters soon Beane had no problems purging all the guys he didn’t bring to the team. Can he purge his own? I think yes, but he’s not immune to the criticism until he does it to guys he’s drafted. He’s only done it to UFA pickups.

Reinhart does this every season. When things matter he is invisible. When the season is over he turns it up. It is so nauesesting. What a loser with talent

He’s getting the ROR treatment

Reinhart yeesh that’s too much Dahlin discount. Sign him for 8 years

Edmund a has low football IQ in a position that favors having the instincts over the muscles. Good QBs target edmunds and that’s all the tell you need. They knew he was raw, tried to teach him the instincts, and it’s never sunk in. I believe you can teach technique but not instincts. Was a bad pick. Same goes for Risto. He has all the muscles and tools but he is prone to stupid stupid plays whenever he gets excited. Doesn’t help he’s run down like a mule.

Wow Sam actually put in the extra effort on a play and was immediately rewarded.

What is TNT paying for if ESPN has exclusivity on regular season games? Three Stanley cups and playoff games only? Can I freaking stream with no blackout restrictions? That’s all I want

Every game that can’t be streamed from one location for every single game for a team deserves full on pirating im not subbing to 5 services just to watch a team out of market play

Judge Granato when he brings in his own pick of assistants as well.

Ristolainen has appeared much more physical when paired with Samuelsson. As if someone finally has his back Wd don’t need him to be much. He’s making some bonehead breakout plays but I’m not seeing him get burned.

Stop putting words into my mouth. I said the discrepancy isn’t large enough to warrant not picking BPA Its a junky draft anyway. Guenther or Berniers look like NHLers. Powers is overrated because he’s a large Canadian boy. And picking a large human as their defining trait in the first round is always a mistake

Two you plan on signing to term, a third a top 10 pick, and Oloffson plays righty too There is no reason to not pick BPA

So we need more in the system when Risto leaves and expansion poaches another

I see no problem with drafting a defenseman with a top 5 pick. We have a lot of young forwards. We have a few young defenseman. There’s no glaring holes

Nearly freaking blew it. Frustrating. A couple of those were freak goals but eek.

No changes were looking at Skinner-Eichel-Reinhart Thompson-Mittelstadt-Bjork Ruotsolainen-Cozens-Oloffson Girgensons-Asplund-Okposo Eakin (scratch) I only look to get a 4th line winger to PK like Rieder. Too many China dolls perpetually injured in this line up and not many rookies left to take a spot quite yet Reinhart not signing can be replaced by Oloffson, meaning we only need to find a 2nd/3rd liner level replacement. Will be an interesting trade if forced. This team feels very skilled and not heavy. I worry about that after a few years of first round exits. There’s skill and shooters throughout it may just work Anyone we lose is easily replaced. I protect Bjork over guys like Asplund. Off season needs to make sure we get a goalie

Botterill drafted well. His coaches and pro scouts were awful. But his picks have all been good

I get it. He has no place after injury returns tho

Caggiula has been really unimpressive. Don’t want to see him back
