It's like you purposely misunderstand everything

It's not trading Reinhart for Vrbata, it's trading Reinhart for a good D man, and signing Vrbata.

But whatever. You wouldn't do it, great

- sbroads24




No, I'm not misunderstanding
I'm saying it's dumb (sorry to be harsh)

Versteeg can't score above 37pts
He doesn't belong in the top6...
and I would t even want him in the top9
Really...
keep saying a 37point forward is good enough for the top6
Doesn't help your credibility

Vrbata is old & u don't know what you're gonna get from him
Plus... he will have better offers
There's no reason to think he'd sign here

I wonder what they get for Lehner, who they get to play with Ulmark in Buffalo and for what price? Obviously, they do not believe Lehner is going to be worth his next contract.

PPG last year

Versteeg .53
Vrbata .67
Kane .61
Reinhart .59


Huge drop off

- sbroads24


Two of those people are declining, one should take another step next year.

Evander Kane has averaged 39 points here the last two years.

Keep going though

Guys like Versteeg & Vrbata are garbage

Show me a mock lineup

- jdfitz77

I like vrbata for the second line

esp if ror is still on the top line

baptiste (speed) or kane, eichel, vrbata


if they are trading reinhart for d, team really needs to bring back gionta and a plug a guy like vrbata for rw

i wonder if there was/is any thought of bringing Fluery here? or is it a foregone conclusion he is going to Vegas?

They may just bring in a stop gap until they find a guy they think is worth investing. cause right now there isnt much out there

It seems, by what has been reported, he's going to Vegas. I've never been a big Fleury fan, especially in the playoffs he collapses. I wouldn't want him.

He said a 37 point player doesn't belong in a top 9.

I pointed out what Kane has averaged.

By his standards, Kane isn't a top 6-9 player

Trade a Conditional Pick for a Dallas G and have them eat 30% of the salary!

Kane is 25 & has the ability to score 25-30 goals
Yeah, he doesn't get assists
We all know
U purposely cherry pick & talk about Kane's points instead of goals

Versteeg is over 30 & has zero upside

Versteeg averages about 11 goals per season over the last 5 years
Kane is capable of 2.5xs that

Again...
Versteeg SUCKS

Dallas goalies have sucked though and have been their weak link, not sure why we would want them.
