Talking about fishing I hope.

Clearly talking about Paul Hamilton. I can't wait for the first Hamilton interview with Eichel... it's just gonna be head bobs and eyerolls from Jack .. yeah, uhhhuh, yep... next question?

The bottom 6 rebuild continues.

Just finished listening to this... - said he would consider switching his number to #9 if it became available - made a comment about how easy it was to play on team NA because the centers didn't need to help much in their own end due to the passing/skating skill of the dmen - focusing on trying to get better at faceoffs - typical comment about the local media in Buffalo, they kiss your ass when you play well, all over you when you play like - said he's not involved with contract discussions, leaving it up to his agent and focusing on hockey

consider there are infinite parallel universes.... we don't live in that universe.

If it was all on Bylsma, why is JBOT making these moves? I guarantee he replaces at least half of the bottom 6, and he's already replaced half the defense. I don't think Bylsma had much to work with and he's getting a bad rap for it.

stop. Shattenkirk ain't happening.

Yeah I guess, but you'd hope after a couple years in the league the kids would start to figure things out on their own.

That's exactly my thoughts as well. He could be a very good 2nd PP guy setup in his usual spot for one-Ts. Scandella - Risto McCabe - BowlU Bogo - Gorges Falk

This is amazing... you made this?

I don't see Pommers in the top 6, he'll be a role guy at best. This isn't the same guy BUF traded a few years back. I agree, he's the type of guy BUF needs to keep around; never understood the must trade Kane now idea.

That's funny because nobody else has, the guy is slow as .

How do you figure? Only the bad stats tho, right? The good stats, like Eichels ppg, are because of the players overcoming Bylsma's attempt to sabotage the team. Am I doing this right? I'm glad Foligno is gone, he sucked, he's not NHL caliber IMO. Sad to see Ennis go, thought he was primed was a big season.

Scandella and Pominville were a combine 0 +/-, Scandella a -2, Pominville a +2. Ennis and Foligno were a combined -11. Scandella/Pommer have a team relative +/- of -10. Ennis/Foligno have a team relative +/- of -2. It's clear who the winner is in this deal.

I'm ready.

I prefer Fitzgerald over Borgen due to his pedigree... and playing in a tougher conference. Borgen also doesn't seem to have the same love for the game that Fitzgerald has.

Shattenkirk is not signing with BUF. He's just using Pegula to drive up his asking price.... we all know this right?

Thanks to GMTM.

fixed

Well... duh! There's also the chance he gets hurt again and loses out on potential money.

Translation... Shattenkirk is using BUF to up the bidding.

Marner and Nylander maybe.... but Matthews? He's in his prime right now, this is the best Matthews we'll ever see.

Paul Hamilton. Why is this guy still around? Is this purely conjecture based on Eichel being a proud athlete? Of course Eichel thinks he's as good as McDavid, or better, it's a character trait all great athletes posses, it's what makes them great. But to assume he's going to pass on a potential deal this summer based simply on that logic is a stretch.

This is why COL took a pass on signing him.... and I'm sure it's scaring off other suitors. That said, I still think he'd be a fine addition in Roch, he's a smart player with leadership skills.
