2016 first + What??
for
Lindholm + Ritchie + First
- ImThatGuy

I don't think it will be that much coming back to us. Lindholm is already top pairing and was a former 6th overall pick.

May have to be something like 2016 1st + Ennis for Silfverberg and Lindholm.

You cannot prove Jack would have anything? So debate your "What ifs" all you want. We are not saying Jack is bad calm yourself, just that McDavid is superior to him.

I can't wait till next year when he actually has a (frank)ing line mate that can score

Where is that line mate going to come from, may I ask?

You start a franchise today.

Who do you choose and why?

Eichel
or
McDavid
- ImThatGuy

McDavid no question. While I agree with you that McDavid is better I think if McDavid can be as good as Gretsky Eichel can be as good as Lemiuex.

Moulson, Folgino, Gionta are so bad at putting the puck in the net this season that I wouldn't be shocked if you put Rob Ray and Barnaby on Eichel's line. They'd probably have the same numbers as those three.

Disagree strongly as both Captain America movies have been tremendous and the third one looks very good so far.

Make Anaheim pitch in a 2nd and its a deal.

Obviously the drafting or obviously have to trade for one
Let's just waste our franchise center and put him with 4th line players that's a great idea

I agree with all of it

Actually most teams with elite centers put there elite wingers on other lines for the reason of them being elite. Mcdavid is not playing with EDMs best wingers. Do crosby and malkin both have elite wingers? Perry and getzlaf have all elite wingers? Toews doesnt play with Kane. What happened to crushing anyone? You sound like a homer. Stop it. And while your at it fire up the microwave. I want some wings.

You are not getting the point at all oh wow who does Jack play with and how about you list me the wingers on each team with the number one center play with and then you can get back to me OK

No one ever said that, but Right now we have Kane who was thought to be riding the wing with Eichel. That has failed miserably. Reinhart? Girgensons?

Who else can you bring in to get that winger you need and what are you trading for him?

its almost like Sabres fans are the ex in a breakup and now are playing the "Well yea, its better this way" When in fact they know it is not.

I hate the comparison, they're different types of players. It's like comparing Toews to Ovechkin. Who's better? It depends on what you need, scoring or everything else that Toews brings. Jack is more like a Toews and Mcdavid is more like an Ovechkin, but even those comparisons suck. At the end of the day, I'll take Jack, he's going to be a star in this league. Mcdavid will also be a star. I don't really care who's "better" because that is such a subjective comparison in the game of hockey. It takes all types to build a winner, and that's all I want. I actually think Edmonton would be better off with a Toews type player as they have an abundance of scorers already but of course they took McDavid, as they should have. They will need to adjust their team around him going forward. I think our pieces are in place.

That's the point he doesn't have any wingers therefore we have to draft one or trade for one that's why I said his point total is so low because no one on our team is at his level

I will enjoy and laugh at Deadpool when I see it tomorrow night with a large group of people, but the second Captain America movie is the benchmark for all other Marvel movies.

To me, it was far and away the best of them all.

Those comparisons dont work because Ovechkin is a winger.

I dont know how you can realistically say a team will be better off with Eichel instead of McDavid.

The comparisons don't work becuase he is already better than all players mentioned.

Whoever said Towes doesn't play with elite wingers...

Towes plays with Hossa who is better than any winger on our team by a mile. Getzlaf plays with Perry who is better than anyone on our team currently
As far as Crosby. He doesn't have great winger you're right. Which is one of the reasons they haven't done well in the playoffs recently.

They're 19 year old kids in their first year. Eichel is playing with Gionta for Christ's sake! They both obviously have great talent. It's too soon to decide who is better for their team. Let's see who raises more cups.

Not a fanboy at all. Actually was on the Mcdavid 1a Eichel 1b, but watching this kid play (which im guessing you haven't, save for some highlights) has changed my thoughts 100%.
