Jack really isn’t that though.  Few players in the league shoot the puck more than Jack does.  He is top 10 in the league every year.

Jack is of course a very good playmaking C, but he shoots the puck A LOT.

Honestly, both Hall and Eichel play very complete offensive games.  They can both do it all on that end of the ice and I’m wondering if they are trying not to step on each other’s toes when they are out there together.  That’s why I, and others think it’s likely they would do better separated.

Stats aside, Jack has stated before in interviews that he’s a more of a passer than a shooter

While, I don’t think that Hall has been great this season, your phrasing here is misleading.  Over his career, Hall is as good a puck carrier and playmaker as he is a goal scorer.

You’re right but I believe he was brought in to score goals. Jack has always been a “pass first-shoot second” center. Hall needs to shoot the puck

[GDT: 1/31/21 1pm ET, NJ Devils at Buffalo, MSG, NHL Network, WGR]

It’s great that Hall leads the team in assists, but he’s supposed to be a goal scorer. So far he’s looked mostly lost out there. Time to put it together and score some goals

So you would put out a D-Man who is rarely on a breakway over 2 proven goal scorers?

Dahlin is supposed to be a generational talent. 

[Is Eichel playing injured?]

As soon as he cuts that mop on top of his head all will be fine

I mean... he's better than me. But he definitely looked like Asplund gets the next look.

Oh yeah he’s Wayne Gretzky on steroids compared to me

My biggest takeaway from this game is Tage Thompson is terrible at hockey

[GDT: 1/30/21 1pm ET, NJ Devils at Buffalo, MSG & WGR]

That period reminded me of the episode of South Park where the boys played little league all summer and nobody wanted to win.

I thought his contract had a “no-goal” clause? He scores more than 10 a year, and he forfeits his salary

Link?

Didn’t watch first period.  Was it as ugly as the shot totals?

Yes. Spent the majority of it in our own end.

Can I get Sabres games with this even if I live in the Buffalo market?

I like rye. I even said as much.

Everyone’s reaction to my post, though, has done nothing but confirm my initial statement that it is overrated.

Never said you didn’t like it. Awesome. I like it too. A loaf of rye bread with dill dip is a very underrated appetizer. Also, what have we come to when we are sitting here arguing about the most overrated breads.

It's rye. Don't get me wrong, I like it. But get over yourself, rye.

I make bread for a living. It’s definitely multigrain bread. Without rye bread, what would a Reuben sandwich be? Multigrain, 12 grain, it’s all BS

Lol at "squandered", as if the guy gives a sh1t that he's lost credibility with me, which the term "squandered" implies.

Squandered is a funny word

I can agree with this, with the couple caveats being, it doesn't necessarily need to be THIS season, and the other being that it should be noted he's absolutely "on schedule" given his age what what we've seen him do at those ages. 

The desire to see proof is totally fair, I just don't think there should be any trace of angst, yet, imo. 

Not really any angst, but I’m holding off labeling him “generational” also. He’s still young but this will be his 3rd season. Time to start putting it together

Yes. I am well aware of the many different ways one can take that.

Would you be surprised if he becomes a better player than Drew Stafford or Tyler Ennis?

I liked the pick personally. Him and Cozens are both still question marks. I definitely hope they both turn out better than Stafford and Ennis
