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.

He reminds me of Pommer during his rookie year.

When Pomminville was in ROC before his first call up he was a black hole. Never had a shot he didn’t take. And once, he paused a VERY long time before he signed some girls jersey. He did it eventually. But it took a VERY long time.

Isn’t there a date in January a player needs to be signed by to qualify for the playoffs or is that just Euro’s/guys that played over sea’s?

I forget

has to sign by the trade deadline

I know if they’re in the league they can only play in the playoffs for a team they’re rostered with on TDL. But I don’t know if they have to be in the league already by some other date.

I don’t think the Red Wings are throwing their season away for a Sam Reinhart. It has everything to do with where you are drafted man.

I’m sorry but a 2nd overall pick is a nearly untouchable asset.

What kind of package would you think would take to acquire one of Lafreniere or Byfield this year ?

We had a pot of gold and got half a return on our investment.

Sam is a good player, but not elite.

With Eichel and Barkov we are a cup contender.

- Pegullaville


Could also be Patrick and Drouin, if we're picking random players.

I've only met him once but he was courteous enough to stop and sign autographs. Seemed like a nice enough guy to me
- jcragcrumple


He seems like he's got a sense of humor about the whole thing too, he did that thing with Biznasty in Vancouver poking fun at himself last year.

Right. 12/1 for RFA's. Trade deadline for UFA's to be playoff eligible.

Tiger put on a clinic

What is holding up deals someone asked?

Look at the Sabres cap

Lot's of teams are right up against it this season

I doubt we will see a lot of moves throughout the year for that very reason, teams expected the cap to be a couple million higher

All the smart talking heads said Jack Hughes was a shoe-in with Kappo giving him a run for his money.

McCabe and a pick for Athanasiou would be money in/money out essentially

As well as Olofsson’s doing, I think it’s Makar’s to lose.

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

In my opinion, your jib is prime cut.

I don’t need Olo to win that award. He’s 24 and it’d feel goofy like when Panarin won. Makar is more than worthy.

Plus, he's likely got a bonus clause in his contract if he wins it.

No need to give his agent more ammo for the next contract.

I'm still laughing over the Bobby Orr/Paul Coffey expectations from Risto


something must be in the water in WNY

- homiedclown


It was a huge, huge, huge hyperbole to irritate the Risto haters. I thought you were brighter than that, oh well, live and learn.

I see even when I am gone the Skinner and Reinhart love/hate continues. The HS kids keep the love, the college kids see beyond the numbers, even when they aren't great.

it's a three man race right now

olofsson has 6 games with multi points, 4 in his last five


if he stays hot, he could make it hard not to give it to him
