Ennis hasn't been anything near a top line player thus far.
- dadeadhead


That's because he isn't a top line player. On a good team he's a third line scorer IMO.

Trade him now while he still has value.

They are working on a deal with Hollywood for a sitcom.


It's why they haven't done anymore episodes since last year.


All I know is I want in on the writing team.

22 yrs in the business and I've got some great stories.

I didn't say he's a top line player. But he is a top 6 forward so if you're going to move the one top 6 RW you have you'd better have a plan to replace that.

I know he's far from perfect (tough start this year as well) but a top 6 guy at 4.6 mil is a pretty good thing to have.

- Sabresfan-365


He isn't top 6 bud. He's 2nd liner on his best days. And those are real far apart

He's a top 6 winger.

They are(wingers) interchangeable and "if" they can do a trade for Fowler(with pieces added on either side) I'd do it.

Once again, I deleted them for a reason.

Here, I'll explain just to get this over with: I thought it was silly to say one's definitively better. So I laughed.

How dare I drag on what you started. Thanks for being the bigger person.

In all seriousness, I like both players too. In no way am I attempting to criticize Mark Pysyk, he's been very good.

Added an edit.


Sooooo.............

Are they remaining open until the new place is up and running or do they have to shut down then build and reopen?

I hope for their sake they are allowed to remain open. Closing down for that long can sometimes be tricky when it comes to customers.

Just curious if you could explain your reasoning... Eberle's scored 60+ points in 3 out of his 4 full seasons in the league and has averaged 0.78 PPG across his career to date. Yakupov on the other hand hasn't broken more than 33 points in a single season and has averaged 0.46 PPG across his career. Eberle's had the advantage of playing with better players (mainly in RNH & Hall), but the argument can be made that Yakupov certainly has had multiple chances to earn a spot on the the top line and has repeatedly failed to do so.

I'm not bashing you at all, just curious as to why you think Yakupov is a better fit. There's quite a few people who are still pretty high on Yakupov, and I don't quite understand why after his largely disappointing career to date.

- TheMaritimer


No worries bud. At least you politely disagree. Yak was on pace for a career year before McDavid went down. I think his style of play will better compliment Eichel's game. Eberle is more like a Stafford IMO. Obviously much better then Stafford but same type of player IMO. Eberle always gets injured too. I don't think he has a full season under his belt yet.

Yes and no.

You give your regulars a chance to find another bar to become regulars at.

Your regulars are what keeps the lights on. Without them you have no business.

Almost all wingers are inconsistent throughout an 82 game season. He's obviously got the talent to be one and is on a very reasonable contract.

He's not untouchable, but lets not pretend like he's just some guy you add in to a trade to sweeten the deal.

liquor license was up at end of year anyhow

it had been in the works for 6 months, they want to put condos on that land

my brother in law is so connected, it shouldn't be an issue, plus foot traffic was dropping

14 years is a long run at one location in that town
