Not directed at you:

People are concerned about Sam R’s production on an ELC and whether he has measured up to the expectations of a 2OA and deserves $5M/yr.

But everyone is all creamy about RNH, at $6M/yr, a 1OA, who scored fewer points than sam as a more established vet.

I can’t understand people.

Helluva good point. I just looked at RNH states. 24 + 24 vs 25 + 25 for Samson. In fact, in 7 NHL seasons, RNH highest goal total is 24 and points is 56. Samson at 2 x $5 million bridge deal makes sense.

John Gibson will be the 5th highest paid goalie in 19-20 at $6.4M.

Yeesh.

We have a ton of players that can fill a bottom 6 spot on this roster next year. One of Bailey/Baptiste, one of Girgensons/Larsson, and one of Nylander/Guhle paired with the STL or SJS 1st rounder should be able to bring in another top 6 forward.

Not sure why you are constantly trying to validate sam.
? Expectations are high when you're drafted 2nd overall.

Especially one of your favorite old timers are guys like probert?

Sam had a good 2nd half. Point wise.

No fore checking or physical play
No exciting end to end rushes

He's good - yay!!!

- Boss34

everyone throws out second overall pick

kid popped 25 goals in year 3

consistently 22 per year in the three year sample

he is no cam barker


25 goal scorers at 22 years old do not grow on trees

The Cleveland Browns are cutting bait on Corey Coleman, sending the 2016 first-round pick to the Buffalo Bills in exchange for an undisclosed draft pick.

5TDs and ~600 yds in 2 seasons for a Former first rounder.

He’s no Ryan Nugent Hopkins!

The #Browns have had 13 first-round picks from 2007-2016. None of those 13 players are on their roster today
