On the upper end of that point spectrum, yes, but the Bruins have had a nice decade and a half of, on average, 55-65 point centers leading the way.

Nice Power. Like Boston you just need to put the right pieces around those guys.

I didn't pass on him.
This is a hockey rumour board...not reality.
- IonSabres

Okay Adams passed on Rossi already. Why would we trade for him?

He also didn’t play at all least year due to Health issues

Absolutely , not just my eyes....

What makes you think playing in the worlds makes a player less relevant?

Odd take 🤔

Don't think I said that did I

Looking forward to that series, should be the best of the bunch. Gonna be a War

The animosity level between the two has really ratcheted up this season.

drake caggiula .138 5 on 5 goals per game
olofsson .129 5 on 5 goals per game
girgens .106 5 on 5 goals per game
- homiedclown

Drake caggiula gp 260 44 goals 42 assists = 86 carrier points (4 nhl teams)
Victor olofsson gp 116 35 goals 43 assists = 78 carrier points ( 1 nhl team)

I'd take olo

Good luck today. I’d like to see Florida go far this year.

Yeah, ending the season with those 2 games really turned it up a notch

Well you implied that..... 🤔

It’s been a long time coming. They are so fun to watch this season. Should give you guys hope that things can also be turned around in Buffalo.

I'm probably giving him 4 x 4- 4.5ish million.

Solid 50-60 point guy in the prime of his career.

1/2 skimmers contract value and length

Imo he's a top 7 forward. No reason to think he's going to be worse moving forward. Guy scores points, points are. Needed to succeed.
- Boss34

I don't have the time today to do it, nor do I know where to get it from..
But tracking his production with / without Jack would be telling
Games, G's, A's, primary points, EV vs PP

His Pt/Gm fell 0.21pts from '19-'20 to '20-'21; which as we knows significantly impacted by Jack's absence from the PP.

So, my gut says to says that to position the future without Jack will be as bright as it was with Jack is just plain fools gold.

it's crazy that drake can do more on the ice even strength on the bottom 6 then olofsson can do getting top 6 minutes with eichel

Well you implied that..... 🤔
- Boss34

In you eyes, sure maybe it would help his career, pretty sure teams know what they have in him already.

My ?, do we need a true 1C if we have 3 2C getting 40 to 60pts
- Buff36

IMO, yes.

Yeah, ending the season with those 2 games really turned it up a notch
- Buff36

It was funny, Maroon talkin’ poop before those final two games, and then FL came out and smacked them in the mouth. Tampa is still the champs, though, and if Vasi gets on a roll they will be tough to beat with the firepower that is returning to their lineup.

IMO, yes.
- IonSabres

That's cool, certainly can help having that high-end 1C. IMO think you can win with a team full of good players.

Yeah, that's why caggiula wasnt invited.

Took you 3 pages to prove my point to yourself

True, but Bob can get hot too.

Well looks like we have a drake caggiula fan in the house.

I'll stick with olofsson... ☝️

Looking forward to it

Vegas is proof of that.

Mark Stone though is probably a top 10 player in the entire sport in terms of “200 foot impact” and although Chandler Stephenson plays the middle on that line, Stone has that 1C type of impact on the game.

There are not many wingers who can do what Mark Stone does

Never said he was invited, said he could have said No. Boss you and Fitz are really good at spinning stuff to try and make yourself look smart.

Very true

- Buff36

He’s been much better than people think this year. And I have confidence in Driedger if Bob should happen to falter.

- Ratsreign

Driedger is very high on my list of goalies to go after in the offseason.

How do you entice him to stay for more than one year?

Anything less than 8 x $8 with a full NMC and he'll simply take his arb award and walk next year. If he's really set on leaving, even that won't get it done
- jcragcrumple

He wears an A for this team, I don't see him as a player that is going to walk his way out of town. I think he signs long term here
