I think I'm more pissed because I thought he was going to step up and be a PPG player with jack gone ...Honestly I thought he was going to carry the team

And now you see younger players in his draft class producing at a point per game level

it's frustrating

If Reinhart was drafted ahead of these players and they were all in the same draft you'd have a valid point, but drafts differ wildly in the amount of talent. So it's not really fair to compare one year to the next.

i'm pretty sure the players I was talking about are in his draft ..

unless were talking about Bobby Ryan ?

I just can't see it .. And then the Eastern conference finals comment I've been trying to figure out how that's possible when we're gonna lose half the team
They would have to gel together fast with new players

We arn't losing any of the core players...and the core players are our best players...and Eichel is elite enough to make everyone better

So if we lose some they are replaceable....especially with carrier and baptiste looking as good as they are

You were comparing Reinhart to the new young players saying they're producing, but he's not.

I'm trying to trade for Julio Jones right now

But this guy wants the New England kicker too

It be Lewis ,kicker OBJ for Julio

So we're losing Gus( everyone hates him now ugh) Ennis, Marcus , molasses , fossil , Kane That's a lot of pieces to replace and hope that our prospects can step in

Idk if we lose Gus tho....

So Foligno and Gionta are a checking line...we have Baptiste and Carrier (with more scoring potential)

Kane and Ennis are supposed to be goal scorers...Nylander

will we have to plug a few guys in on the 4th line? sure.....but I'm not really worried about that

EDIT:

your top nine looks like this
Nylander - Eichel - Okposo
Free Agent - ROR - Rhino
Carrier - Gus - Baptiste

I really don't think Gus is going to be here Come trade deadline I think he gets moved and then we watch him in the playoffs and become jealous he's perfect for the playoffs

Typed a response but something came up at work so picking up:

Not sure that we'll be looking for forwards in free agency. There aren't a lot of LW options, so unless you are flipping another righty to their off wing then you're looking at Kunitz or Bickell

I think the left side needs some serious help, but we are flush with righties so maybe that's the trade we see happen. If anything I think we'll try to make our free agent splash on defense...it's either that or GMTM really like the Oilers before McD.

I know a left-wing that we can target that's Russian ...

TM needs to hire someone from the Blackhawks they can help us find someone overseas

Hahaha there's a good option, probably a pipe dream.

At the same point, the Hawks get these guys because they're contenders. IMO if they were trending upward Vesey would be playing there right now.

He was always going to the Rangers.

They can't pay Panarin though without losing a whole bunch of celery first. He wants $6.5M+.

We can pray to the hockey gods benn has the worst season of his life and the stars miss the playoffs and Lindy hits him with his car


And he signs with us

I don't feel like back reading, but Ennis with the sports hernia, eh? No wonder why he hasn't looked that great and has been tentative.

I was thinking Radulov Signed for 2 years

I would sign him

The UFA pool is not that bad

I wonder if the Ducks guy doesn't live in the area, because they've had people in the building an awful lot over the last couple of seasons. I know there was the McGinn trade and the Fowler rampant speculation, but still you'd think they've seen what they need to at this point.
