I suppose its an unpopular opinion but as far as my pick for the C after gionta, O'Reilly's not even in my top 3

Who are your picks?

Nice write up Michael. The ROR trade was the best move that Murray has done as GM.

I wonder if Bylsma would take the "C" off of Gionta and stick in on ROR, or would that an ugly precedent?
- SabreWest

thx...methinks it's gionta's unless he decides to pass it on, which for me, is a distinct possibility

Excellent and Incitful as has become your norm, Micheal

i'll take a guess...in no particular order:

Eichel
reinhart
risto

I'm home...and getting drunk

kane's problem has never been on-ice save for some injuries...he comes to play every game and leaves everything out on the ice...his major problem, as we all know, stems from his immaturity off the ice
- Michael Pachla

That's not 100% true. There is a reason he is shuffled from line to line, and has been a majority of his career. Good player, has trouble finding chemistry with anyone

I'd be worried...



...if you were a Tim Hortons

Im not even joking I was sitting in a Tim Hortons when i first read that news

Who are your picks?

Pachla just nailed 2/3


Im a big Risto fan but hes got enough pressure as is.

McCabe?

- sbroads24

yeah...good point and i'll get to that when I get to him...fact is, every reporter in Buffalo who's followed him has said the his on-ice work is excellent

McCabe?
- chilliard77

nice...although, imo, once he settles into his role, he'll be a leader without needing a letter

McCabe?

About 5 mins after I read about it I saw sbroads24 drop in and say that ROR was just looking to improve his Coorsi and I (frank)ing lost it

huh,thats funny, because thats what i pictured for O'Reilly

I remember that


I suppose that is one way to... drive possession...

I still think O'Reilly should be in the mix. Depends on how Eichel and Reinhart develop this year

He's a wrecking ball, with all the physical tools.

IMO, he's a guy you put on a line with Girgebsons and someone else, and tell them to just go create havoc, and play like there hair is on fire, he's not a guy you put with Eichel and say "There's my 30 goal winger for Jack"

Given that you folk here love Garf just as much as we do, here's a nice contribution from the MiB blog that you might enjoy

of everyone mentioned between us, at this point in time, o'reilly's is the one to take on the 'c'...that could change in the future as the 22 yr. old McCabe, 20 yr. old reinhart and 19 yr. old Eichel mature...but right now, imo, o'reilly's the unquestioned leader

- Michael Pachla

Fair enough. My guess is you're probably correct and he gets the C but this is unquestionably Eichel's team so he'd be my first choice after gionta

this will be an interesting season and imo we'll get a better idea as to who goes with whom under bylsma's system as the year progresses
