It will be very interesting to see what deal he gets as a UFA.

I'm not sure he gets more than $6M per.

- kingcong39

Yeah I’d be surprised if it’s more. 6 seems like a realistic number.

JVR is going to break the bank with the year he’s having

Yeah, I mean guys usually give teams a spark when a trades made. Happens all the time.

We will see if it lasts

- sbroads24


He's a perfect fit for that team it's just as simple as that. I think if you stopped looking at only Kane's stats for one minute you'd understand that. As an example, since Kane arrived Joe Pavelski ..... 13 points in the 11 games centering the line with Kane. Prior to that ... struggling big time.

'People' as in 2 or 3 or as in a lot more than that?

I generally try not to let outlier opinions bother me.

I just read the Clint Malarchuk story this morning.
I had no idea what he dealt with after the throat slash.

You have no clue!
Phil Housleys family was taken care of the minute he signed the deal. He will never have to work again to take care of generations of housleys.

He wouldn't be doing on his own. It's part of the process.
Why do you think Bob bougner went to Florida?
He sat down with management and owners here and didn't want to lose.

They are tanking period!
You can't possibly be this ignorant.

- Boss34


Bro I’m biggest Tanker on the board but this is not tanking they are just really really bad ..

Tanking would be keeping jack out
Tanking would be not playing Brandon
Tanking would be not playing Nelson
Tanking would be not playing our future number one goalie
Tanking would be not bringing up people that can score

The team is just bad that’s it

I don’t know how you think this team is going to end up with 89 to 90 points next year ..

They will still be in the bottom but they’ll be slightly better than the worst team in the league

You could be right but I’ll wait and see if it lasts.

It’s 11 games. He’s been in the league for 8 years.

I don’t think he’s magically started making players that much better

On the flip side, I don’t think anyone’s said O’Reilly is a bad hockey player.

But parts of his game are becoming concerning

Why not ? He's fast and plays hard every shift ....... he's just finally playing for a winner is my guess.

Because he’s never been that guy.

Remember when Myers went to Winnipeg? He had 15 points in 24 games after the trade, an almost 60 point pace. There were articles that he was better than Byfuglien and Trouba....

Fast forward 3 years he’s just as polarizing to there fans as he was to ours. Some love him some hate him.

The first month or so after being traded, guys always play above their heads.

Fake .500 or real .500? Don't count OTL's and Edmonton is very close to .500. There's always a chance at fake .500.

Right now I'd agree with you since there's only 8 games left. I'm talking about next year.

A little puck luck can go a long way ............

.500 including OT losses and you are Philly and NJ. They are in the playoffs. Add the Ducks to that list.

Next year it's very doable with a couple of key moves... just a couple.

Pretty much everything would have to go right. I don't consider it realistic, with so much youth and inexperience.
