That's a great question. You know he's sitting somewhere feeling he's worth the same.

If we are giving Skinner $8.5M, don’t be shocked when Reinhart is moved next offseason for Dahlin’s long term partner.

and his release, his use of his own body, his willingness to go to high danger areas, the speed at which he processes the game, and the number of mistakes he makes: NONE of these have anything to do with who his linemates are.
- Der Kaiser

But it’s Sobatka’s fault he can’t finish

For a 40 goal, 90 point center? You're not going to get that at 7
- jcragcrumple

...looks to see where Point was drafted.

Tager was positively allergic the the middle of the ice. He should consider skating toward the slot from time to time. And also, if sent in on the goalie 1-0, try to get a shot off instead of pirouette off.

Fixed.

Fixed.

It was pretty sweet pirouette, was it not?

stay home and watch deadwood then

my bet is if you like skull island, you will like this movie
- homiedclown

I don't like formulaic Hollywood crap that has to coddle the audience with exposition the entire damn movie.

They lost me when the NAVY escorted Godzilla to San Francisco across the ENTIRE PACIFIC OCEAN.

Then in the new trailer, dad from Super 8 is like W R GONNA JOIN DA FITE and Godzilla rushes Ghidorah, in the dark, in the rain, with a battalion of jet fighters flanking his sides... It's such absolute non-sense that I hope the guys who made these movies choke.

You want to watch a good Godzilla movie? Just watch Shin. Or the anime trilogy.

Up until Shin, the best Kaiju movie of the past 10 years was The Host.

You mean the 40 games he played mostly in a 3rd to 4th line role similar to the one he had this year ? Some of those nights he played 7 minutes.

He should have spent a lot more time in Rochester this year but that doesn’t mean he can’t turn into the player Botterill and Co. thought they were getting when they traded for him.

U defend a guy who basically had the same scoring season as Larsson
Yet constantly put down our former Selke nominated 2C who has a career year, but is supposedly declining

Make some sense dude

I wouldn't be shocked at all if he's moved this off-season because they see it coming.

I don't believe Eichel, Dahlin, Skinner, Sam, Risto is JB's core.

Tools are there, just very raw.

You guys love Josh Allen but hate Tage yet they are the same player but play different sports. Tage can’t hit the net, Josh can’t hit the side of a moon with a football. They both have the size and stature to be successful at their respective positions, both have powerful shots/throws. Tage has good hands for a big man but needs to put on 30 pounds and hire an accuracy coach. Josh has a cannon for an arm but needs to continue to learn the game, and work on his throwing mechanics so he doesn’t sky the ball 30 feet over the RB on a 5 yard out route.

One is at the beginning, one is coming closer to the end. Tage might not become anything, ROR will just be another guy in a couple of years.

It’s amazing that since they moved him off the top line in the Dallas series m they have figured out how to score 5v5 again. Apart from Game 7 against the Sharks, he has been the symbol of criticism all playoffs long from the media. He has been his regular self since February. I forgot he was even playing in this game tonight until this argument started.

This is a terrible take.

Both are tall, it ends there.

Allen single handedly won NFL football games as a rookie. Broke all time Bill's qb rushing records. Ran for 100 yards 3 games in a row. Then knelt down to lose a couple yards.

Tage wasnt a rookie and did absolutely nothing to help us win games.

We also traded up for Allen to be our franchise guy

Tage was a throw in/ you can pick any of our 6-10 top prospects

You're better then this post flaccoville

Skinners agent is going off of the Stone contract,

Isn’t it crazy how all of the sudden Tarasenko is on fire and that top line is scoring every game?

Honestly, I'm shocked his FO win % is only 48%.

- Lunaion

I'm a Sam fan, but I know that he's not a Botts' pick so he could be shipped out. But I gotta say I would be very concerned with JB settling for 65 cents on the dollar to get rid of him.

2 periods away from having 1 goal in 16 games.

Just IMAGINE if that was Dahlin or Eichel who went in a slump at the most important time of the year

No comment on ROR having an awful postseason, eh?
- OneKaneOneCup

Not quite as good as Tage, Sobatka & Berglund’s post season... right?

Keep thinking it was a good trade though

And 14pts in 20games is hardly an “awful” postseason
Especially when he was asked to play a defensive role vs the Sharks & back off in the offensive zone so the defense could attack

It’s also A LOT better than Hayes’ isn’t it?
But tell me again how we should sign him to 6mil +


You’re not overly biased at all though

Another silly rhetoric. The guy is playing playoff hockey, IE, what he is good at, IE, BEING ONE OF THE BEST DEFENSIVE FORWARDS IN THE NHL who happened to have a career year this season.

I wasn't a fan of his and I think he is a jamoke but let's be real here, he left the Sabres and got nominated for 2 awards, will probably win one of them, and is 4 games from winning the Stanley Cup.

Meanwhile, Jack Eichel led team America to exactly ZERO medals in a tournament he had to play in because his team is a perennial loser with crap management that has it's head so far up it's collective ass that it came back out of it's own mouth, inside out and suffering, screaming, calling other teams for help.

They took him off the top line because he wasn’t playing well and the top line was terrible.

Tarasenko has averaged a goal per game since being moved with Schemn

Should i list various combos of players that are clearly better than him that have scored less this playoffs?

Bad comparison
- jdfitz77

Good comparison if you are comparing goal scoring in the nhl playoffs.

Goals lead to wins
