K-9 Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 I'm not sure we can blame DD for missing his top center and having only 2 of his wingers playing I don't blame DD for doing this to manage injury situations that crop up, but he's been doing it all year anyway. Just because Moulson has a couple decent shifts on the 4th line, doesn't mean he should be rewarded with top 6 opportunities. Conversely, Bailey struggles for a couple shifts and he's relegated to 4th line with inferior offensively gifted players and he suffers. Dan is married to his "pairs" system and really doesn't seem to care much who any particular third member of a line may be. I don't like it. GO SABRES!!!

JJFIVEOH Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 I eagerly await his explanation I've explained it three times over and don't plan on doing it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
French Collection Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 He's gone, let's move on. See what kind of numbers he puts up after someone gives him 4x 4.5M. Probably not Moulson like, but a dip would be expected unless he plays top line minutes and PP on his '16-'17 team. Ducks can play him with Getzlaf and Perry inflate his numbers and them trade him at the draft. Maybe GMTM has a favour from Bob Murray to have the inside track on Fowler at the draft. The old future considerations trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 What is your opinion of the trade? I was never a McGinn fan, so the trade doesn't matter to me. However, I would be concerned it could affect the locker room. Not that I would have re-signed McGinn just because of that, but the team has some youngsters on it whose world-view is still being shaped.

JJFIVEOH Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 It's not just you, but perhaps you have noticed that this is the way millennials handle differing opinions nationwide. It's an easy dynamic to grasp: if you present a certain percentage of the millennial population with a POV different than theirs, the only way they know how to handle it is if you had picked a fight with them. This phenom has been all over the news for the past year. I have, it's becoming irritatingly commonplace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Don't see these trades hurting us down the stretch. Weber for Cola is pretty meh at number 7, and it increases the chances Pysyk and McCabe don't get benched. Probably a good thing long-term giving Bailey or Fasching a look in McGinn's even strength role. And there's a chance Ennis just slides into that slot. On the PP, McGinn stealing Moulson's role down low has probably has played a role in 26's lack of production. Wishful thinking I'm sure, but I hope he gets a shot there and helps him get some confidence/value back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread is IMAGINATION LAND! I'm imagining a world right now. Come with me! I'm imagining right now, oh what a fantastic thing, a dream where Jamie McGinn's agent says "Sure Jamie, definitely take what Tim Murray is offering you. There's no way you could do better in free agency. Go on Jamie...take it..." What a magical place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Unfortunately, I think you're right. DD is too hell bent on rewarding good play with promotions to top lines. GO SABRES!!! I don't see that all. I see him keeping his pairs together at all times regardless of how they play and throwing a third guy there randomly.

Teams often trade for UFAs to acquire their exclusive rights with the hope of reaching a deal before FAgency kicks in. Doubt McGinn generates enough interest though. GO SABRES!!!

Once you accept the fact that we just aren't that good yet, it's easier to reconcile. I wouldn't want GMTM thinking any other way at the start of the season. But I gotta be honest, when GMTM has the team he wants, McGinn is not a big contributor to that team, anyway. That will be born out when he signs with somebody else and underperforms the inflated deal he signs. GO SABRES!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Edmonton. Way more examples of perpetual suck/lack of cup than tank---->cup. You got Jeremy and wonder-boy on WGR selling you (us) tank all day long. There's no guarantees. It's just another year of suck. McGinn leaving is cherry on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyldnwoody44 Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 I never expected such a debate over this move, I mean it was coming and it wasn't a secret. I get both sides, and I kinda am indifferent to it. I won't get upset unless/until we make a terrible trade when we aren't basement dwellers.
