Yea it is take the blinders off, what has Trouba actually done, stop already. you make it sound like Trouba is the 2nd coming.

Yes...and be wary of poopty free agents. Notice how Boston, Tampa, The Jets and Nashville avoid free agency and not one of them is saddled with a poopty Lucic, Ladd or Kessler type contract?

Free agents aint free. They might fill a need but most times the cost more than they are worth.

Actually Denis Potvin as well.

THEre is probably a half dozen more we could add....but that’s sorta my point. There are plenty of franchise players, perrenial all stars but generational players are an extreme rarity.

Somehow I expected that .

Yep. We’re gonna see another lockout so that Owners can get out from under these contracts. There’s only so many foot funguses and allergies out there to use LTIR.

I won’t lower that bar. When you have ha down an actual Generational talent on your team you know exactly what it means.

It’s pretty simple: is he in Mario’s class? Yes or no, pretty simple.
- Larsson_fan

Mario wasn't on your team, so I don't think you'd understand exactly what it means.

I've already stated my opinion. If he's the best defenseman to enter the draft since 1973, then I think the label fits.

You're an idiot

There's already an article on cardiaccane.com that brings up the idea of the Hurricanes drafting Dahlin at 2 it's almost like anyone can write anything on the internet

I remember some knuckleheads writing that the Oilers were going to take Jack too.

I don't think he's the second coming, but i do think he's better than mccabe.

He'd probably be our best defensive guy. Im not saying id make the deal 100% but i'd explore it or similar deals

Sure....except he’ll want max term at probably 9 million+

But that was funny

Not really

HES way better than McCabe....but look at the depth on the team his on.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. We are all happy that we have a chance to have him. I hope he pans out (Doug weikenheiser, Alexander Daigle ect). Let him play before we judge how good he is.

- Larsson_fan

How is he way better then McCabe? i'm not saying McCabe is great but how is Trouba way better.

I back up the Brinks truck for Tavares. 5 year max salary. Worth a shot

The real question is whether his impact for the sabres is better than what Risto's would be going forward.

He would still say no

- SABRES 89

well he's scored more goals and prevented more goals

Tavares wants to go with a contender NOW. We are not there.

- Sabresfan-365

McAvoy scored more goals also, so that makes him better then Trouba. Trouba is a above average D man and that's all.
