I tried

- 3rd GM's the charm


I appreciate that u generally have stopped starting sh!t with me
That’s why we don’t fight anymore

When Hank stops, then U guys will no longer have to watch us fight

It’s that simple


Maybe u should “try” with him??

it's a top-two...haven't we gone over this before?

Does that start this year, or next year?

No, bc of the moves we made at the deadline
Eichel could then come off LTIR

That's just not right. Not going to dig into what you're missing, you won't believe me anyways.

I guess they chose not to piss away cash for no real benefit.
- Ratsreign


Could’ve been a benefit
Might have gone well & re-signed him

There was literally “no risk” involved whatsoever

Yeah, I thought it was 2018. Regardless, we’ll see how long until they’re good. When you get the reputation of being an early riser you can sleep til noon.

Ok how about 6 more wins, all vs Boston? Should secure a top 3 pick!
- riptheguard


Honestly I think them having hall is a mistake I don't think he's a Boston player

If they got Nick Foligno I think he fit better

Wouldn't surprise me if he was in the doghouse in 3 games that's not to say hes a bad player I just don't think it's a good fit

You have a point, though. Tim Murray set himself up with a better warchest in 2015 than Yzerman has now, and he completely poop his pants.

needs support, like an experienced agm and some pro scouts to help him navigate a trade for either (or both) of them
- Michael Pachla


Absolutely, I'm hoping his hiring skill's landed him this position.

I get the feeling eichel is going to be moved this summer.

We Better have some experienced hockey mind's overseeing offers.

Granado will be coaching next season. Probably a young roster. A really good match IMO

he took over an aging, way over-priced team and has been tearing it down for two years while getting his cap situation under control...detroit has seven picks in the first three rounds this year, including two firsts and three seconds and they have a total of 16 picks over the first four rounds of the next two drafts including three firsts and five seconds...give him a couple more years

yzermans message to ownership is, i need to build this through the draft.
Seider, by all accounts is developing into a stud.
Raymond they just took and will come over soon.
+ the top pick they are getting this year.

thats 3 premium pieces moving forward on top of Zadina.

I can see that happening. I was excited when you broke it last year, was optimistic and hopeful for a solid production from him. First game, his speed, his forecheck, board battles. Thought now this is an MVP type player that can help push towards the playoffs. But boy did that quickly change. I just think he’s lost a lot of what he had, perhaps injuries really impacted his game. The eye test revealed he brought nothing. Yeah maybe shooting % was below average and folks hope he reverts to norms. At the end of the day, I just think the ole grey mare ain’t what she used to be. And we got a second. And don’t think he will help Boston much. Then this summer and next TDL he will once again command tons of media attention. We will be in a better place with other positives to focus on.

Vanek is one of the most criminally underrated Sabres of all time.
