Interesting take. If you could get Pommer for league minimum for the remained of the year which results in them sending Casey down to regain his game, that would be a net win for the Sabres. He needs to do something for the middle 6 to get them going.

Iā€™d think heā€™s their only untouchable.

What would it take to bring Patty Kane home ?

A rewrite of his contract being is heā€™s not allowed to be in Buffalo for more than 48hrs.

I always think of the scene from the Departed where Nicholson takes DeCaprioā€™s boot and smashes his wrist. ā€œAre you done doing coke deals with your dueshebag cousin?ā€

That scene describes Kaneā€™s no more than 48 hr clause.

Rather have the Center, but Larkin is probably untouchable, but Detroit does have some good Centers coming up through there system that are almost ready and they will have there shot at Byfield

Very rarely do Centers of that age and pedigree get traded, they need to be drafted.

Realistically we should be able to get the current green jacket leader (Athanasiou) cheap. What's the hold up?

I donā€™t think I make the trade in that case then. Thatā€™s too much for 3 years of Kane.

It just shows that even sound defensive teams make bonehead plays. This is why you play the games.

Nope, only Risto makes bad plays.

Not every point was created equal, not every goal was either.

Eichel elevated Skinner by 10 points.

Eichel is elevating Olofsson by 15-20.

How many points does Skinner elevate his linemates ?

Eichel is shooting 12% better without him and possess the puck more than any other player in the NHL now that his entire game isnā€™t crossing the blue line and giving the puck to Skinner and never getting it back.

Every other elite player averages over a PPG but itā€™s ok for Skinner to generate offence for himself and essentially only himself.

- Pegullaville


How could we possibly know? He's never played with anyone else. For all we know it could be like Evander Kane and Eichel is actually holding him back.

E.Kane and Skinner are both zone entry players who like to have possession. Olofsson is a catch and release shooter and thrives on finding the open areas and letting the bomb go.

Olofsson is developing quite nicely and could be a player that is successful without an elite Center but he definitely benefits more from someone like Eichel then a guy like Skinner does.

Isnā€™t there a date in January a player needs to be signed by to qualify for the playoffs or is that just Euroā€™s/guys that played over seaā€™s?
