With.

Sign Stamkos.

Make Massive trade to get Hall involving
Pysyk, 8th overall, 3rd rd pick and Girgensons/Foligno

To do that you have to move Ennis and his contract.
Probably Gorges and Franson as well.

Top 6 Forwards
Stamkos
Hall
ROR
Kane
Eichel
Reinhart

Defensive would be a tough sell though in this scenario.

Hall will take Sam or riso

I still hate that bottom 6. More speed less dead weight por favor. Top 6 tho

Seems to happen to the Caps every year

"WE MADE THE PLAYOFFS!!!"

"Oh poop its getting nice out again...lets hang out and have some beers!"

"...Wait we have a hockey game tonight?...shiiiittt...well lets just give the puck to Ovi!"

"Well Ovi didn't carry the entire team...sooo lets just hope he does tomorrow night...for now...more hanging out and beers!"

EDIT: Flashforward to opening night 2016-2017 season - "Ladies and Gentlement YOUR WASHINGTON OVECHKINS!"
- feetontheair22

F
I agree Ovechkin suck Richard I mean he only had 12pts 62 SOG 60 hits playing crazy defense bad Ovechkin just terrible they should just cut him

Every time I try to build a lineup I can never place, Moulson, Gionta or Ennis.

I just cant fit them anywhere.
- ImThatGuy

I think this is an accurate statement of Ennis. Good player, clearly has top 6 talent but trying to build a contending team cant find a place for him that makes sense.

Gerbe has been good since he got out of California.

Nothing to say, just wanted to have the 63rd post.

And apparently very hungry. Most of his posts were about food for a while there.

I understand the Vets, but Pysyk? He is not good. 6/7 man at best. No where near top 4. McCabe has surpassed him by a country mile. I don't even believe Pysyk will be on the roster next year honestly.

Hm... This is false, even as an opinion.

Nevermind his possession is above 51% on the season.

Ennis started out as max, started turning into Danny, then became Max (the bad version)

Hm... This is false, even as an opinion.

I hate the warrior chart

It never shows strength of competition which is where analytics really has some weight.

Does 8 overall and Pysyk get you Drouin and a cap dump (Carle TB holds $1MM)

Hm... This is false, even as an opinion.

I cant see the hot chick OR the godzilla.

Yeah but I still give him the benefit of doubt.

I'd at least like to see if he can come back to form early on next season....then trade him if we want, not going to get squat for him right now anyway

Hm... This is false, even as an opinion.

From an eye test of most everyone that watches the Sabres, he is not very good. Def not a top 4 dman on a good team.

It does however provide a weak form of what you're asking, TOI/Gm. It's more or less insinuated instead of fact that if he's playing top 4 minutes, he's playing against 2nd or 3rd line players. On a team with a bad corsi, his possession is reasonably impressive. If he was a bit more productive in the offensive zone, this entire board would (frank)ing love him.

(frank)ing Mike Schopp with the god damn eye test. Just because the kid is extremely subtle and doesn't produce offense means he's not very good? I'm not here saying he's a 1st pairing DMan. But he's extremely serviceable as a middle Dman and even a #5 on a good team.
