lol.

Side note to your model, the hair too?
- rmiethaner

No way he uses way too much hair product for his liking.

Keep your eyes tuned into his Nash's stats rest of his career then you'll see who was right.

Where did I say stammer won't score 30 again? Lol
- Jammerz04

You didn't

Whose biggest weakness happens to be defence?
- Sabresfan-365

Lol just like hockey buzz commenters at least watch the game. There's a guy on here predicting Nash Stammer and Lindholm come here this summer lol. Now Risto's weakness is defense? If he was soo bad defensively he wouldn't be on the ice 25+ minutes a game. The weakness to his game is consistency more than anything else.

But he models his game after Shea Weber...

I model my refereeing after Fraiser but I'll never make it to the show

Risto might model his game after Shea Weber but his defensive play is more Mike Weber.
- Stripes77

I don't think it's that bad. He's carrying Gorges offensively but neither of them can really handle the defence vs top lines. Of course difference being one is a young d-man prone to mistakes and the other is...well...old. Still, it's pretty clear puck recovery , possession and limiting shots against are not his strong suit. Certainly points to him benefiting from playing with someone who is excellent in all 3 areas...

Predicting no. It's a discussion board which was fine until some jackass showed up

Because the other guys are worse.

Clearly I don't think he's playing like Mike Weber I was just going to the other extreme.

Ya when I said $40 million for Okposo and people snap at me it was all well and good but they weren't jackasses but when I say it I'm a jackass? Riiiiiiiiight that's a lil hypocritical, no?

What can I say...we just don't like you! Lol
- Stripes77

I blame Stashu. He's still bitter about 2014....and 10...and preemptively bitter about 16.

Miller is elite

Because the other guys are worse.

And there's no way Ristolainen could be better then our whole D corps just because of his skill? Does The rest of the teams D has to be poopty?

- rmiethaner

I obviously don't want him to die. I hope he lives a very healthy life until he's a 1000 years old. Just pisses me off when people try to be "smart" while disagreeing with someone.

The goal is Stamkos 100% fact, everything after him is a big drop off. I mentioned before of uncle Brian returning a favor one day

Nope it's a pipe dream!!!

Free Candy!!!

Here's a thought, Defensemen who play 25-28 minutes a game sometimes make mistakes. I don't know of any d-man in the history of hockey that didn't give the puck away at some point or turn to cover the wrong man. It is the nature of the game. Sometimes the other player just wins.
I don't think Nash fits Murray's blueprint for the type of player he is looking to acquire, He has stated that he wants to get players that are 24-26 years of age that can grow with the type of team he is trying to put together.
First let me say that I don't think that Stamkos to TO is a sure thing, Why would anybody in their right mind want lose the kind of money it would take to be a Maple Leaf? Just the cost of living alone would give me pause to consider Buffalo as a viable destination if playing close to my hometown meant that much to me.
Don't get me wrong, if Stamkos were to end up here it sure would be fun to watch
but is the cost and term that it is going to take worth it in the long run? That is the question I grapple with.

He also said today (or yesterday) to Craig Sustance that he is looking to make a deal for a veteran scoring winger like Sharp who was what 34 last year?

Damn it I keep forgetting

Damn it I keep forgetting
- SABRES 89

just to be serious for a moment, am i correct in assuming he would in fact be "plan b" if they miss out on Stamkos?

I honestly think the best chance to win a cup is the year of 2017-2018

It's before Eichel has to get paid, its Kane's contract year, it would be Girgensons contract year if he signs a 2 year bridge deal.

Nash fits in that timeframe
