The kane talk is a total waste of time. hes getting moved and most won't like the return. My apologies for being the one to bring it up this time - Sabresfan-365
It will be over soon.
I just don’t get the exaggeration of his value to this team.
People saw Taylor Hall the other night, right?
That’s a star winger |

I have just been away for a while listening to this fantastic singer/songwriter who self publishes most of his own stuff.

Eichel is 8th in the NHL with 14 goals at even strength (not just 5 on 5) - sbroads24
I'm curious how many people care about a stat like that. |

Is the overall idea that any other player besides a star player is basically totally expendable and has diminished worth? |

No, the idea is that only star players should be deemed “irreplaceable” and players like Kane don’t fit that bill.
Top 6 wingers are moved every season.
We will survive the departure of the great 45 point player. |

Your smarm is at full strength I see.
Isn't there a big difference between hard to replace and irreplaceable?
Seemed like most who want to keep him aren't saying he's irreplaceable. |

I don’t think he’s hard to replace or irreplaceable.
Look how Eichel is starting to perform away from him.
He is a solid 2nd line LW. I have 0 doubts we will find some guy to fill that role |

A 30 goal 70 point season would make the not hard to replace comment much more challenging to easily agree with. |

Sure, but digging deeper shows his production is a result of heavy deployment and and not efficiency.
He was really good to start the season. His goal scoring has faded back to a 20 goal pace, and his assists have been a lot of secondary ones.
He’s 103rd in P/60 and that’s during a career year in terms of points.
On a deeper team, playing 15-17 minutes a night, he’s a 20-24 goal, 45 point player per 75-82 games.

If he goes for 30 -70 this season, how is that not first line wing performance? How many 70 point players are there in the league (talk about sad saying that). |

If he does that’s first line performance. But I would attribute that to a really hot start and him playing more than 95% of the other NHL forwards.
I also doubt he hits either 30 goals or 70 points. I could be wrong though |

What difference does it make what it is attributable to? If he does it he does it. |

Because if the discussion is based on us signing him or if he’s replaceable, whether he can continue to do it matters, a lot. |

his value is taking a bit of hit now that Pacioretty and Hoffman are supposedly available |

You are literally the ONLY ONE who keeps using the term “irreplaceable”
Also...
I think you’re missing the point
We need to score MORE than we are right now (last in the league)
We should be talking about ADDING to Kane’s goals...
not just REPLACING them
If that’s all we do,
then we’re still a crappy team struggling to win |

Dunkirk is a really good movie.
It’s no Godfather, and it’s Not Josie Wales good, or Slingblade good, or Cool Hand Luke good, or heaven forbid Cukoo’s Nest good.
But it’s pretty pretty good. |

Thoughts talking to some people from “inside”.........
Look at Tampa Bay Bucs, HBO Hard Knocks - sh!t season.
(Look at many teams through the history of Hard Knocks, Cinncy, Jets etc....)
With having the Winter Classic TV crew around this season, it might be taking away from the overall team aspect? Granted, it’s not going to change our bottom 6 forward, Defense and our bad contracts!
Just throwing it out there.......
Happy New Year Boys!🍾🍾🎉🎊 |
