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

No, I said Versteeg doesn't belong in the top6, and I wouldn't want him in my top9

I won't say your onto something but.....



- homiedclown



I mean it would make a ton of sense to me. Especially if they dont think Peterson is coming. Botteril would get his guy. And Fluery would be happy because he would be the clear #1 (if Lehner is moved)

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

Stop gap for 1 year.

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.
- GilPerreault11



But do you really like Lehner better? Fluery wouldn't cost much more than him if the reported numbers are accurate

I like Kane but if he has no intention of signing here then trade him in for something longer term.

they never considered calling tocchet for an interview


martin was the fall back interview if housley did not take the job, then a second interview from the potential coaches

- homiedclown




I know
My point was that he was saying all along that he thought we'd interview Tocchet, even though we never considered it

He also "thinks" we would be open to trading Kane

That may be true
Just saying he isn't always right

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

So that means he's plateaued, correct?

You said a 55 point player sucks a page ago.

I never said that, but even if he has...
Kane is a 25+ goal scorer

Those don't go on trees

And I'm not replacing him with a guy who averages 11 goals per season

And ppl act like good free agents are gonna sign here this offseason
Very doubtful imo

Depends on what it would cost to get Fleury I guess. He's probably a better goalie overall but I would be meh if we got him.

tied for 12 in the entire nhl for even strength goals last season, and your saying he is not top 9 player on a roster

Forgot the sarcasm font. Wasn't it if you turned 25 in the NHL, your career arc is all downhill from here.

- sbroads24



And I also said that was harsh
And that he won't sign here
And that he's old & u don't know what you'll get from him (27pts the year before)

What I should've typed was that Vrbata was a sucky idea

Still haven't seen a mock lineup from u

Versteeg sucks
Why don't u change your avatar to him to fulfill the bet u lost to me

Better than Reinhart plus the defenseman we could get for 8th overall?

Nope
And Vrbata isn't signing here

More like
