premier complimentary player?
- Michael Pachla

skinner lite


only got to 39 goals

winning a series is one thing


to play 6 seasons and not even sniff the playoffs is another


again 1 superstar nhl player to never make the nhl playoffs after the first 6 seasons


just 1

would matthews still be in toronto if they did not sniff the playoffs after 6 seasons


or towes


or kopitar


or crosby

or stamkos

waaaaay too many complimentary players...and you're bagging on jack?...i don't get it

Right, so how on gods earth is that his fault?

They've been so far off that even if Eichel was the league MVP they don't come within 5 points of a spot in any of these 6 years

how does he get a pass?



this is a historic failure IMO

Late, mudderfrucker!

- Michael Pachla

it's only bagging on jack if you think he is blameless in this situation


"superstar" and not sniffing the playoffs in the first 6 seasons never happen

Hall was pushing Adams to do a trade with Boston. So.. there's all your leverage.

You've been proven wrong.

Olli Jokinen
- SDSabre

now jokinen was a top 10 player in the nhl?

Late, mudderfrucker!
- jcragcrumple

haha I saw that.. and even tho we both thought it, he made the playoffs in LA before becoming the (frank)ing legend.

- homiedclown

But not because of Jack

Because of the rest of the team around him

- homiedclown

What are you talking about... Top 3 baby.

Does Adams use some new found cap space to pick up anything today.

You've been proven wrong.
- Powerslave

Maruk or Oli were not considered a top 10 player in the game for a lengthy stretch though


so really I am not proven wrong

Taylor Hall: The no-move really helped me become a Bruin.


There you have it

Move on about the return for him

Maruk or Oli were not considered a top 10 player in the game for a lengthy stretch though

OK then Hall. He probably was

But not because of Jack

- Stripes77

so he gets a pass, on something that literally has NEVER happened in the nhl?

it's only bagging on jack if you think he is blameless in this situation

never said that...but this isn't basketball where a true superstar can take a team far...

jack's been in a sh!tshow ever since his sophomore season...and even that began with a freak injury that kept him out of the first seven weeks of the season

OK then Hall. He probably was
- jcragcrumple

after 6 years he was traded for larsson


never had more then 27 goals in those 6 seasons


is that a top 10 superstar in the game?

Dennis Maruk.

Wow. I thought I was the only person that remembered Dennis Maruk.

"Ok Taylor, so Boston apparently doesn't want you bad enough considering they aren't offering us what you feel you're worth, so you're going to need to pick another team that's interested otherwise you might be staying. It's only 10pm the day before so I have plenty of time to have some discussions"
