the markets the market. i think he placed mcginns value at a second, which is still a possibility. these conditional deals seem more common now, gms are able to mitigate looking bad in a trade by giving up a lower pick if the team doesnt have success after acquiring a player. somebody on here, i believe 89, suggested that mcginns agent was trying to get 5m/yr over 4 or 5 years. i would suggest that the agent probably has a glue sniffing problem but gms do crazy stuff on july first. i liked mcginn, not 5 years 25 million liked him though. bonus, if the sabres do plan on taking on a bunch of additional payroll (big splash in ufa or some kind of blockbuster trade), they can now walk away from mcginn.

If that was in fact the deal he was looking for then yes, there's the door, cab is waiting for you and wish you the best of luck with the Ducks, cause he's not worth that.

What does this even mean? - Most of the time he doesn't generate any meaningful offense?

And what the hell are you doing pulling up 30 day old tweets? Good god, read a book or watch a movie or something.

My point was is that he is almost always going against another team's top line every shift and to still have that good of +/- is a big deal. I was scrolling through the Sabres Stats page and saw it. Thought I'd share since he seems to be such a lovely discussion every day.

It's a good one.

I also like The Lucky Lady with James Caan Burt Reynolds and Liza Minelli. Sort of similar to the Sting. It was on HBO all the time when I was about 12 or 13. I remember there was one sort of sexy scene that used to give me painful 13-year-old-boy boners.

IMO.

larsson has similar +/- then girgens, which kind of makes my point on that issue


what's more impressive to me is skunks +/- vs ror, kane, and eichel

It's no Oscar winner, but it aint a bad way to kill 90 minutes.


Plot
During the Prohibition era, a young widow, Claire, gets involved in liquor smuggling and romance with two men, Walker and Kibby, off the San Diego coast. Organized crime controls bootlegging back east and wants to do the same here, so a hit man named McTeague is sent to deal with these amateur crooks, as is the Coast Guard, leading to various battles at sea.

Hey look.... a Lie....

http://www.nhl.com/stats/...ggregate=0&teamId=7&pos=S

You've been brainwashed my man... Top lines do get more than 15 TOI you are right but that usually includes PP/PK time that Girgensons doesn't get nearly as much of.

Larsson just scored his career high 7th goal of the season. He has 31 total points in his CAREER of 131 games. Girgensons had 30 points last season alone.

That kind of makes my point on this ridiculous comparison that continues. Larsson is a 3rd line player AT BEST. Maybe best suited as a 4th liner.

Um ....

If he such a great shut down guy on other teams first lines, why isn't he getting PK time?

I'll text Blysma and ask..... IDK.. he has 74 minutes on the season.

Guys like ROR, Legwand, and Gionta have more than him. Kane is high up there too.

Look for his number on the Sabres goals against in the last couple weeks. It won't be that hard to find. (and remember your stats are a month old)

Maybe he's just not that good a shut down guy.
