trade him for Brandon Marshall

That'd be great if they could pull that off.

I have no doubt the new Bills hierarchy would love to dump this guy yesterday.

But cap issues.

He's not in Jrs. He's in college, which as far as I know is where we'll see a lot of the guys on the Team USA coming from.

EDIT: As a result, this year’s U.S. team will be made up of players from professional teams in Europe, colleges or the American Hockey League, which is the top minor league to the NHL. Players on two-way NHL-AHL contracts will not be eligible.

Ahhh ok. Didn't realize college players were eligible. Well that will help Canada as well.

He’s such a waste of talent. He either buys in or he’s gone no matter what salary cap issues.

I've defended Dareus every year until this one. Can't do it anymore. He's absolutely invisible. Thanks for that awesome contract whaley

Not sure if you know this but only one guy on that list scored more goals than Matthews last year.
- Matthews_Auston

ok, still don't think the kid will be in the top 6 for scoring this year

he was 20th last year

do we get to see what Casey Mittlestadt can do now? or is he not allowed to go either
- IndianaSabresFan



He's eligible, but USA hockey is so stodgy and backwards. They're gonna pick nobodies from European leagues. Hell, they passed on Kessel last time because he wasn't "a fit"

He also finished 11th in mvp voting. But you think he will finish out of top 25? Ok then.

stop putting words in my mouth

I said the odds he would win is slim

I said probably 15 players up front that had a better shot


I listed players, because I know people will get picky and pluck one or 2 down


I also said he will be up there in a year, just like eichel, neither are ready

your boy was 29th in ppg last year


enjoy him, he is going to be a great player

I mean come on, the leafs have 5 kids score between 60 and 69 points last year


the odds one separates and becomes a front runner for the mvp is slim and slimmer

I hear that. Slightly related, but why does CBC broadcast in 480p on TV?
