Okposo will hit 25 goals this year, Sabres make the playoffs but lose in 5 games in round 1.

Doing well, haven't gone to Caledonia but stopped into the Cornerstone last couple Fridays for the fish fry. Kinda forgot about Caledonia, gotta get there this fall maybe. How are you doing my friend?

the deal with reinhart


he needs top 6 to produce


he can't take a 3rd line over like one nut can for the pens

- homiedclown



So paying a 3rd line guy 6 million a year doesn't make sense?

If only there was a short term 2/3 year option? See what sam is, based on another full year or 2

Rahm is a hot head, can't play like that in majors. He'll learn.

They can't until the 2019-2020 season

So not this coming season.

No sense for them to hint at anything when everyone knows they're changing their jerseys

Ted Black said there wouldn't be a 3rd until the 50th anniversary, probably due to the turdburger

Sure, but until we get a really nice season (60-65p), I just wouldn't commit long term. Reinhart worked pretty well with ROR, let's see if he has the chemistry with one of these guys to have a career year.
- jcragcrumple

the kid was a top 20 scorer in the entire nhl for the last half of the season


3 coaches in his short stint here



god damn, did he sleep with your cousin and not call the next day?

pretty sure if you pay sam 6 mil, you are paying him to thrive which is a top 6 winger

not bury him as a 3rd line center



one of the reasons why ror is out of here

What?

I want to pay him for what he's done, not what we hope he'll do.

2 years by $4.75-5 would be great with me. I like the kid, but let's see if this is his ceiling, or does he have 60-65 in him.

Sam's 9 games in 2015 count for having a different coach, but do not count ss a "season in the nhl"

Ted Nolan stunted his growth and not the lack of weightlifting or training?

Sam could be a really good player, not sure if the back half of last season should get him 7 x 7.

60 points gets you 6 million now adays.

25 and 25 should get you a bridge deal

No

They can wear it as a 3rd jersey this year (10 games they can wear it) and that's it

What does this have to do with Sam?

You asked who from that draft class who can carry a line. Drasaitl has...multiple times.

Sam is a solid player. He's proven jack poop to be considered anything more than that
