sens are now only 6 points ahead of the sabres and yotes
- homiedclown

At least they have 2 games in hand on us and four on the yotes.

Watch him play!!!!!
Forget stats and watching scoring plays that make him look bad.
He is so positionally (geographically and body wise) terrible you have to be able to see it.
It sounds like you were singling me out though. Im the one who made that exact comment. Not anyone else. Just now someone else agreed with it. It is more than valid.

That’s why i included other quotes about Jack & Risto
I could’ve added many more about Sam, Okposo, ROR, etc etc etc

I thought 3 would be enough that no one thought i was attacking them specifically


And on Lehner...
I’ve been saying for quite a while to trade him & that we should move on
But i also think you’re going overboard saying he sucks

He’s an NHL goalie
And puts up starting caliber numbers
He’s just not “good”
And with our defense,
we really could use a “good” goalie

Don’t compare him to Weber

Kane is the TOP GUY available
Yeah... there’s quite a bit of interest
No doubt
- jdfitz77

You said all these teams are calling, who and how many? I dunno, but in the context of teams calling yes he can be compared to any guy ever. You think only one team called about weber and gave us a third? Why not a 7th? Teams will call, it doesnt make him better than he is or mean anything other than yes, teams call.

he needs better skaters than girgens and okposo on his wings though
- homiedclown

That’s fair too

But again, to Gerbe’s point...

I don’t want Jack with a “shoot all the damn time” winger

That limits how much Jack will have the puck
And i want Jack with the puck as much as possible

He was an oft injured third string goalie when we gave a first for him and annoited him our starter probably because of it (and gmtms hard on for him.)
Most goalies in the league put up about the same numbers. Its a game of bounces and luck a lot of the time especially compared to most sports.

HE’S THE TOP GUY AVAILABLE
- jdfitz77

What does that have to do with how much of a return youre going to get for him?
Does it immediately mean he is considered a scorer?
The top guy available every year is a scorer. Got it.

And Hasek was a backup
When he was “3rd string” he was behind a good NHL goalie and a youngster coming off one of the greatest stretches of play in the history of goaltending
None of that has anything to do with how good Lehner was or wasn’t

AGAIN...
did u miss where i said i wanted to move on from Lehner?

Read more man, read more

Being the top guy available has quite a bit to do with the return he’ll get
How on earth do u not see that?

Are you now comparing lehner to hasek?
Kane vs weber is actually seeming quite reasonable now after that.
You said that about lehner after pointing out the hatred for him like it was somehow in line with some of the other ridiculous things said on here such as trading eichel.
Maybe we all should read more i guess.

Every time you reiterate that i give you reasons why hes not great.
This all started here after talking about how much his next contract will be.
We all want the return to be great, im just being a realist and pointing out why i dont think it will be. All im getting now is that he is the top available guy.

And, lehner sucks. Not just a little but a whole lot of suckage. Down right brutal.

Did i not give a list of his skill set that many would likely find attractive?
I never said Kane was “great”
Don’t know why u keep acting like i did

And this all started when talking about what we will get for Kane in a trade
What he gets in his next contract is of no concern to me since it doesn’t look like we will be the ones signing him

Lehner doesn’t suck
That opinion is exaggerated

His stats over the past 2 years say so
And he’s done it on a pretty bad team who has been badly outshot over that time period with a weak defense (at best) in front of him

Do i want him as our goalie?
No

But your hate has gone way too far

The skill set you layed out included "scorer."
I had just pointed out his career stats and disagreed.
Without "scorer," your entire skill set was that of a 3rd or 4th line guy.
I never said he was bad, hes good enough. I just really wouldnt label him a scorer.

Of course...
but Eichel is a puppy on a team that sucks

Thinking he won’t have his struggles is crazy

My issue (with you in this case, but just about everyone here in general) is how dramatically overblown it all gets

“Take offers on Jack”
“Risto is barely a top4 defenseman”
“Lehner will be out of the league in 2yrs”
And on & and on & on

Jack is gonna struggle here & there
He’s still a heck of a talent, and a really good player...
trying to become a great one
That doesn’t always happen right away
- jdfitz77

Hope is a dangerous thing. It makes most people uncomfortable.

Jack 100 is going to end up with 90 pts

And all those losers that b!itched about him can go suck a lemon

You kiss your mom with that mouth?

Well I’m a glass half full kind of guy i guess

Some ppl on here just seem to want to be miserable
That’s just not me

If he’s “not a scorer” like u say...
and only has the “skill set of a 3rd/4th liner”

Then how the hell is he the TOP GUY AVAILABLE???

Dude...
U are really off your rocker with some of this stuff
Are u drunk or something?

You kiss your mom with that mouth?
- Der Kaiser

Also, apparently 90 >= 100

Oh, and Jesus Christ.

Also, apparently 90 >= 100

Jack 100 can’t call him jack 90

Got to keep it real with 💯 you feel

Do people Actually say this .

So the Sabres probably partied hard with that win last night

And no one is up.
