I probably should have disclosed that the only thing I really liked about those, was the color. If they could take that color and use it on our current design, I'd be pretty happy. Though, I agree with just about everyone, the grey under the armpits needs to go.

No 3rds next year but didn't Reebok do the same thing when they took over? I'm almost positive they did, and then slowly over the next couple of years teams added in new 3rds.

Lehner is no savior, and we all know that.

I could easily have seen Murray taking Samsonov with the 21st pick had they kept it, as the sure to be nuclear reaction after on this board would have been priceless.

To be serious, the problem I have is that the trade that continues to be rehashed a billion times is in the past and I don't see where it helps comparing a player to the trade he was in either instead of his current play or even with his current play.

Evaluate his current play, how you think he will improve, and go from there.

With that said, why do people just assume Lehner is going to get some giant deal after this season?

A bridge makes way too much sense, especially with Petersen.

Because Murray has made moves in the past that others hate, we now must assume he will always make a move we all hate going forward? Not sure that makes even a little sense.

I will hope that the lack of giving up the 8th overall for Fowler and the deal Murray was able to sign with both McCabe and Risto are signs he is learning on the job.

Of all the moves Murray has made, the only things the team will miss long term, potentially, are the two picks given up in the first round of the 2015 draft.

I don't believe any of the other picks or players are much to worry about, even guys like McNabb and Zadorov.

I disagree completely, but agree that Lehner gets a bridge deal.

No way he pulls in a huge deal

I don't believe any potential game changers were given away, outside of the two first round picks in 2015.

I know you follow prospects more than I do, but even a guy like McNabb, while a nice to have, is no game changer, at least to me.

If Lehner receives even a big deal, let alone a huge one, it will prove that Murray is nuts.

That said, I highly doubt it happens.

I'm sure I'm looking at your post wrong

are you saying there aren't any game changers after the first two picks?

Game changer, and potential upgrade to the roster are two different things.

No, we didnt give away any Norris candidates or scoring leaders away, but I think that's a very broad, generous statement to make

And this! Jaguars also hiring their former HC Tom Coughlin as Executive VP of Football Operations, per source. Marrone and Coughlin in Jax.

Marrone's decision to jump ship in Buffalo is now officially a smart one.
2 yr wait, but now he's HC of an organization that cant be worse.

Here's a fact, out of 50 goalies that have played 690 minutes, Lehner is 46th in saving high danger chances, and middle of the pack in mid danger chances.

He also has the 3rd worst Sv% at 4 on 5.

He is great at stopping a bunch of pucks that don't get by most goalies, but there is very little evidence that he is "very good"

In fact, if anyone follows Steven Burtch on Twitter, he's posted a bunch of goalie stats in the past few days, and Lehner is on the lower half of each ranking of all starters

- sbroads24


That's almost entirely on the players on the PK, it's like they've forgotten how to hockey.

Does it say how many high-danger shots he's faced? I'm curious to see if it's higher than average, it certainly seems like it.

It's the same thing for all stats, numbers etc. When in larger samples there more accurate.

Sam Reinhart got an assist the other night because he made a bad pass that deflected to Ristolainen, who then fed Eichel.

If the pass went where Reinhart wanted it to, it wouldn't have been a chance, but he ends up with an assist. That doesn't mean all his assists could be flawed.

- sbroads24


It's not even really about sample size, it's about classification.

I haven't had a Wegmans sub in a long time. I just don't like that much meat on a sub. Plus, if I'm going to have a sub, it's going to be from Mike's.
