This is why I have started to respect the stats more over the past few years.

None of us can physically watch all 30 teams as much as our own. We create bias's.

I used to go by how catchy the players name was .

Ryan Murray for Zach Bogosian? I thought this would be kind of a rip off but he's not doing so well on a really good CBJ team.

Whiz kid Eichel has a skill-level not seen around these parts for decades. The 20 yr. old center with blazing speed and intimidating skill-set backs off the opposition at every turn and at this juncture seems to be one of those franchise-type players where the moment is never too big.

Take away the age comment and that's 05/06 era Briere. I mean, technically it was a little more that 10 years ago, so I guess "decades" applies.

It may be Gionta again

I don't see why it wouldn't be until he's done here whether that's another team or retirement. Unless he goes to whomever the coach is and says "I think it's time to pass it on." I know that might not please a lot of people, but that's how it's generally done unless you have a captain that's supposed to be a major contributor like Thornton.

He's head and shoulders above Briere. We don't know how Eichel is in the Playoffs yet, but the talent level isn't even close.

Tim Kenedy back in the organization. Interesting. 30 years old and still looks 19.

Past couple weeks I have seen many fans of other teams wishing they would have taken Risto instead of _______ or even _______.

And I remember A LOT of posters on here freaking out that we didn't take a forward (Nichuskin was commonly brought up)

Yep I remember

I was hoping for another forward but didn't dwell on it . Figured we wouldn't see the player for a few years anyways .

You have one guy in Kennedy who averages one point every 4th game and you have Grant who averages 1 point every 11 games and has yet to score a NHL goal in 66 games...yeah sucks just the same...

source? seems pretty good across the board.

If we're talking about David Savard the Blue Jackets can keep him. Plus he's another (frank)ing right shot.
