The Jokeman

There are some that think we should move him and keep guys like Girgenson, it just baffles my mind.

To me Olofsson is a top 6 forward preferably on the 2nd line as see him as a 25 goal scorer not a 30-40. We need more guys like him to improve as a team aka low round picks making and contributing in the NHL.

Jack Eichel will play for the Sabres in their season opener for the 2021-22 season.

Las Vegas shows expansion teams can be good.

Not many good options out there, https://www.spotrac.com/nhl/free-agents/goaltender/ufa/

That's the wisest thing to do unless we really get true value for Jack.

Monahan's production has been falling whereas Reinhart's has been ascending, am not 100% agreement that's a wise move for us.

If we're truly rebuilding aka trading both Jack and Sam then taking Power makes little to no sense since we have no one in the piplline to be as good, to me you take Beniers.

I'm just glad we didn't pick Tochet yet can't say happy or upset with Granato as we played better with him yet not sure if he good enough or he just didn't have enough talent to work with.

I can't see Philly giving that much up for Jones but I'm not a big fan of his to begin with.

I think Minnesota right for the taking as they have a few vets to re-sign with little cap room to do so, I say take Fiala and another rostered player along with Boldy and another prospect for Jack. I don't like LA because don't see any NHL level players coming back.

It makes sense to move Eichel only after our HC is named so we can get guys that said coach likes or believes can coach in his system or build his system around. Personally I think the speculation that Eichel is just that, yes we have people calling about him and we're likely having the discussion yet think most teams won't pony up to our demands and Captain Jack will return for the start of the regular season.

We all do, as only means good things for our future. This offseason is going to do a lot to determine this team's future.

Nothing wrong that kind of production in the NHL.

It's just the question the true Quinn the kid who scored 12 goals or 52 goals? If he lands in between I'm okay with it. I was hoping we took Cole Perfetti.

I know but like many I felt there were better players available at the time. Yet do give him credit for doing okay in Rochester last year. He might be better than give him credit for.

Girgensons was never really good, just over rated by many fans after he made the All Star game.

One would hope but then again they drafted Quinn last year to the shock of many.

Hall signed here in part because Eichel was here. All I'm saying is Tavares to me is a better player than Mariner so if moved Jack we need a better starting point.

Agreed I'd rather not deal him to Toronto all things considered.

He probably feels underappreciated as he can't get a long term deal and or not looked as to be in Jack, ROR, Kane level of important guys. He showed me something this season by finally playing Center as felt he'd be an ideal 2C since we lost ROR.

By getting Tavares you give other NHL players to want to come here. If we only takes picks and prospects we become undesirable to other players imo.

It does if you don't want to continually be a bottom feeder.

He's still for close a point a game and give us a 1C again it's the start it take a few prospects and picks not a 1 for 1.

How else can you see Toronto taking on Eichels contract?
