have not heard that as being part of the deal


it was pretty heavy conversations from draft til first week of july


regular follow ups now


this is from my pommer source

- homiedclown


I hope it's true Homie. Why it would interest JT:
1. Okposo
2. Moulsen
3. JT's from the Toronto area
4. Buffalo is close to Toronto
5. JT could play close to home, without dealing with the bullsh*t of the Toronto Media.

In saying that, this seems more like a GMTM/PEGS type deal than a JBOTS type deal. Big cap ramifications, especially when Rhino has a big year this year and wants 6-7m per

The good ones figure it out

Seriously other than Rogers what QB benefited from sitting? This isn't the 90's it's been documented. In fact I read an article the other day that showed data how QBs aren't sitting anymore and it's sink or swim and it's working.

- Stripes77




QBs who didn't start right away...

Brady under Bledsoe
Brees behind Flutie
Eli Manning for half a season till Warner struggled
All come to mind right away
Cousins, a great example of how an decent talent can learn to be a good QB
Rivers sat for 2 years behind Brees I believe
Tyrod sat behind Flacco

For the most... guys only start right away if they're drafted pretty high in the first round
There's exceptions like Carr & Wilson, but that's not the rule

There's nothing wrong with easing a guy into it
Especially with how complex the game is today
Starting a guy before he's ready isn't smart

Problem is that neither JT or Eichel are considered to be "set up" guys. Both are more of a sniper type center than a set up center. So the two on the same line doesn't really seem like it would work as well as you're thinking it would.

No thanks
If it wasn't for his offensive ability,
he'd be a 3rd pair guy

At least from what I've seen
(Which is obviously not as much as u, so feel free to correct me)
Seems like he just can't figure it out in the defensive zone

Who wouldn't though?!
I'm not saying he's Crosby, but idk how far off he is
If the Isles would've just put some talent around him...
Have they even won a playoff series with him?
1 maybe?

He's ridiculously good imo

They're both good passers though
And Eichel has even said he's a "pass first" player
Regardless...
I'm sure they could figure it out
Or just play on separate lines

itsa bit of a myth that he terrible in his own zone. He struggles somtimes, like any Dman does. It always looks worse whenhe was paired with old dirt dmen in Beauchemin and Tyutin who just like to stand in front of the net and let Barrie get tossed in the corners.

When he is paired with another mobile dmen, their zone entries and exits are a thing of beauty
