How is Boston still good after trading so many good players over the past 10 years

Hamilton, Seguin, Lucic, Wheeler, Kessel. Probably missing a few.

4 year deal would take him to 31. Eh... Similar players like Bobby Ryan, Lucic, even Perry are starting to slow down in their late 20's. ( Perry started to see a dip in production at 29)

Not that he would be horrible, but I would wager he starts to slow down around then.

That's why 4 years would be my max term

30. He's only 25 right now. A 4 year deal starts when he's 27. 27, 28, 29, 30. He would turn 31 during the offseason of '22 after his contract would be up. Although I don't think that few months difference makes a huge difference.

It's like a grade school argument where two kids say my dad is better than your dad, when all that matters is that both are good fathers.

Kane was on Pace to go over 30 goals I don't even think he hits 30 now

Damn

He was playing with Eichel and the team was winning so that was the perfect time to separate them

hey guys longtime lurker here...enjoy the banter back & forth between the main cast (most of the time lol)

my 2cents on the state of the sabres:
No one is untouchable on this team besides eichel. even with the injuries this team did not produce to expectations that were set by both fans & management/coach

Risto, I believe has the tools to become a stud/elite/top10 (whatever you want to call it in this league) problem is there is no one on the roster who can show him the way. it seems he's head & shoulders above any D we have that he can't bounce ideas/analysis off anyone & get feedback. sure gorges is there but he's not the type of veteran that can fill that role & maybe there's a handful in the league that can fill the role but it's Murray's job to identify & pursue.

Reinhart looks noticeably disinterested & that looks like a coach/player divide. (noticed this way before the benching).

I like lehners fire, that being said he's gotta have a bridge contract (2yrs 7mill range). still not convinced he's the future but im pulling for him.

as much as this team needs goal scoring I'd shop kane in the summer & see what the market is...not comfortable giving him 5-6 years. if he starts next year on a 30 goal pace then consider a 5x6mill extension (condition that he signs by Jan 1st). if he doesn't sign im sure one bubble team will give up their 1st for him, just hope they don't make the playoffs.

let's have some serious competition to make up the bottom six next year. Bailey, Baptiste, fasching, erod, Larsson, girgs, smith, asplund, even nylander...spread the minutes around .12mins-19mins should be the ice time for all forwards. no one lower than 12, no higher than 19-20mins

Murray has to get rid of the deadweight on this team...period. You're the GM. 2 of 3 ennis, Moulson, bogo cannot be here next year (hopefully all 3). Murray is gonna have to have a great offseason to regain confidence from the fanbase

Fire byslma!! at this point it's clear it's not working. honestly it doesnt matter whos to blame. bring someone in who has an uptempo mindset & can work with a young roster. a Peter laviollete type...dudes fiery & Nashville is a fun to watch playoff team

I'll hang up & listen
