And absolutely impeccable timing. His value for trade is extremely high this off season. Given his lackluster enthusiasm for remaining in Buffalo, it is time........

He's a Stanley Cup winner, and he's not wrong, imho.

Excellent optimism. I'm extremely impressed with this early upbeat 2021/22 season PA. I like PA. He handled the pressure of being one of the lone voices railing, and at times, nailing T-ba.....errrr.....T-Pegs. But, there is something missing. PA needs help. I nominate LG to help PA reach his optimism pinnacle. LG, should you except, you have 4 months before the 2021/2 season kicks off, we expect to see concrete results in the PA season opener product, hell, he may even start the season opener GDT.

I would normally agree, except............. We have a secret weapon, he is "The One"............ Donny Meatballs!!! I can see some solid additions this off season.

Byfield and Turcot please.

As they should, because if they move him, the decision falls on another franchise. Literally PA, we should take the pot'O'gold we're going to get for him and run, run as fast and as far away as we can from him. Just my 2 pennies is all.

Owner meeting with GM is next on the schedule, so no, not yet I gather.

Eichel, Reinhart and Risto are gone for young guns and draft picks. That's what that tells me.

Duct Tape, two 24" 2 x 4's, a cup of hot dandelion tea with ginzing and 6 marbles?

Yep.

Me to. Edit: sorry.... #MeToo

Jimmy Dean did it.

Kids down for their noon nap already, eh?

Jack demanded Adam's handle the scalpel himself, Adam's refused, the Dr.s agreed. Jack grabbed a wet teddy bear, curled up in the fetal position and gently sobbed, mumbling "I want my Ralphy".

Just finished reading up on it, and you are correct, yes it is.

I'm interested in only 1 trade partner for Jack Eichel at this time, the Los Angeles Kings.

Even a broke clock is...........something, something, something, something..............

Is he gone yet?

Agree completely. The "kids" looked like they were hungry to compete once RK was put on the shelf. Is Granato the guy? I don't believe he's the only guy, but, he'll get due consideration I'm sure. As for the losing itself, if we move Reinhart, Eichel and Risto, like many others I'm hoping for good, talented, young players, some futures (draft picks and developing positional talent, i.e. stay at home type D men) but most important of all, some veterans who's compete level and drive are infectious. We'll see where the off season takes us, I'm hopeful.

I don't get it, I see no issues with his responses. He's an RFA for a number of years to come, it's not like he has control of the next 3 to 4 years. This is a non issue imo.

This post of mine was brought back in to my view from late Jan. Shout out to @Norcal for giving my follow up a thumbs up. Yes, I've suspected what I posted here would come to fruition. But, I'm no Nastradamus, I didn't have a clue on the whole Eichel injury thing. I'm not overly concerned about losing all 3 of them either. Like the end scene in Lion King..... "Simba, it is time".

Had this exact problem 1 1/2 yes ago. Went to Dr. GARACIE? in Williamsville, had a cortezone/steroid injection in the neck spinal cord, arm stopped going numb, neck felt great, until the past 3 or 4 months. Arms still fine, but neck and shoulder sore constantly again. Tender.

This is a right to take up cap space league, what you don't have a right with is your own body when it comes to injuries..... 😉 Therefore, I am, hey, look over there, SQURRILL!

I'm at a crossroads on this. The kids really took some forward steps in Eichels absence. I believe he's expendable.

Completely agree, and good post. I'm sure you saw the sign while registering on the site: "Don't feed the PA". 😄 Enjoy the conversations.
