It is absolutely ridiculous in here.

Question was asked what should a $10m player produce.
Answer was given as 100 pts and solid 2-way play.
Additional clarification was given that as Captain, I expect more leadership.
I also added was that he is young and developing his game and leadership skills.
That's it.

Then Gerbe extended it to say I was saying trade him.
Good God, talk about a complete fabrication, fake news...just plain stupid.

Ya, he is overpaid right now for his production, 2 way game and leadership.
In 2 - 3 years I bet he will be underpaid...it's called development.

How that poop storm of Matthews comparison, and what if he played on other teams started is beyond me, and frankly I couldn't care less about it. I also don't really care about drinking and partying on, until it affects production and leadership. The later is what tends to take a hit...I believe Ralphie-boy will help in that regard a ton.

it will be an interesting off season

but I thought the same for the last 2 years

the stories espo would tell

oh my they were priceless
- homiedclown

Espo was the biggest off ice character the NHL ever knew. Would be fun to go drinking with him and get some old stories

how many hockey "super stars" have not been close to making the playoffs in their first 4 years?


to put this full circle, gerbe said jack wants to win, I say he could do a little more


you all have coulrophobia

I’m commenting on your roller coaster of responses which finish with you attacking the people who are trying to understand what your saying.

- homiedclown

It should get very interesting over the next 3 weeks, leading up to the draft and FA courting period.

Anyone else want the finals to just end so we can get to the off season shenanigans?

- SyrSabreFan

I think we all are. I'm especially looking forward to the draft.

Sure.
Does that then mean he has ABSOLUTELY NO GROWTH in his game?
As a leader?

People need to read better and not take criticism of a young player still developing as some form of hate.
Ridiculous actually.

This advice could go for all the sammers as well.

They seem a little thin skinned.

My response was at homie. Not you.

We all can grow up a little, John Jack included.

Let me rephrase. Name me a prominent player in any sport on a bad team that isn't.

They made the playoffs his only year as a starter.

Every other year he was a backup.

Et tu Taco?

Wonder what we could get, lol.

Eichel to NJ for 1-OA
Dahlin to Rags for 2-OA
Risto to Chic for 3-OA
Reinhart to Avs for 4-OA
Skinner to LA for 5-OA
Mitts to Detroit for 6-OA

1-Kakko ( just to piss Hughes off and get him into prove it phase for his career, like Thurman)
2-Hughes
3-Turcotte
4- Cozens
5-Caufield
6- Byram
7-Boldy

Use Cap savings to round out the D and Bottom 6 with some veteran presence.

My work is done here.

There's not going to be a lockout. The owners have been on the right side of the court of public opinion for the last 2 of them. They're not going to be this time around with the constant vilification of "the rich" in today's society, and they know it. Plus, the NHL's TV contract is up for renewal in 2020-2021. Both the owners and the Union know they would be committing financial suicide.

NHLPA and NHL relations have never been stronger too boot

Reinhart isn't the problem but he is part of the solution.

Sam's a year older, better not pay declining players.

- homiedclown

What more do you want ? He carries the whole (frank)ing team he Plays injured even when it’s affecting his play but he obviously cares more about winning then his health

looking at the roster, the cap and the track record


team might be better off trading eichel for hughes and maybe a pick

reinhart for a young d man

risto for a mid first and a second


build the team around dahlin, hughes, casey and the returns for sam and risto

murray really screwed this roster, and it's clear botts is not turning it around in 3 years
