Skinner has look sharp, just really needed that first goal and what a goal it was. He'll settle in nice with Mittelstadt if they put them together.

Give Skinner the $$.

I know what he can do, but he's got a good 40-60 games to prove he can do it consistently with this team before they should open up the wallet.
Not a big problem for us, IMO.

If Skinner gets Middlingstats going, I would do what I could to keep him around.

I think the top 6 of:

Sheary-Eichel-Reinhart
Skinner-Middlestadt-Okposo

Looks like it could be competitive.

So what's a more reasonable request? Asking Peterman to not vomit all over himself or asking David Price to win a playoff game?

Sheary looks like the winner of the LW spot and I for sure thought it was going to be Skinner. Depending on the season Nylander has, he may end up a placeholder and get traded at the deadline.

The bottom 9 already struggles to score. Stacking the top line with their 3 best forwards in Skinner, Eichel, and Reinhart would just make things worse. Skinner with Mittelstadt is balanced much better, and the fact that Casey is playing good defense makes it possible.

That's the downside of not being 6'4". He never saw Hightower.

Edit: He's taller than I thought, that O-Line is massive. Still never saw Hightower though.

Will never know but I wonder what Beane thought of Mahomes or Watson. He wasn’t part of the 2017 draft when they passed on them

Raiders allegedly shopping Cooper. Bills will pick up another depth DT though.

This was what Peterman’s fellow illusionists and mindfreaks call a “misdirection.” He was saving the real fireworks for late in the fourth quarter, right after Houston tied the game with a field goal. With just 1:30 remaining, Peterman dropped back and hit the Texans’ Johnathan Joseph right in the numbers for a go-behind pick-six.

Every six months or so I forget exactly how bad McDonalds is, and in a rush, I say “It really can’t be as bad as I’m thinking I’ll just grab something quick.” It’s rational, but wrong

just a couple of random Monday Morning thoughts....

1. Yes Olofsson is putting up points..but hes also -3. Lets make sure hes not a nightmare in our end before putting him out there. And does he skate at an NHL quality level? Ive seen enough slow guys.

2. I have a friend who met McDermott and had a pretty lengthy conversation with him (business related). The thing they said to me was "hes way too much of a holy roller to ever coach a winning team". Take a look at Petermans twitter account. Ill bet my LIFE the "jesus thing" is why he keeps him around . And probably why guys like Sammy, Dareus and others were shown the door. Id LOVE to know if that Christian thing is a thing in that organization these days. Example: the way Hard Knocks has coached and players just throwing around F bombs and being "old school men"...Id love to know if that is forbidden or allowed. I honestly think THAT is a bigger problem than people think

I don't think there are enough "holy rollers" in the league to field an NFL team, so there's that. I do think, though, that the emphasis on "character" will hold this team back.

I agree....if McD could sign Randy Moss and T.O. in their primes tomorrow, he'd give us the old "not our type of player" bs. Ive had enough of him.

Im all for it if your hypothesis works out. Im just not into putting the cart before the horse. Skinner will most likely work out. But lets pay him towards the end of the year vs. what we think he might do on this team. Again, i want nothing more than more scoring on this team. I just want to see it before we open up the checkbook. Nylander/Berglund/? May be a formidable 3rd line in the future if we keep Sheary and Skinner.
