That's a bummer about Vinnie. I liked him on both stints here.

Something about an underdog who hustles every shift endears him to fans. I too liked him but unfortunately he just couldn’t lock up a spot and now that it appears the hawks did a hard about face and seem to value size all of a sudden he’s become expendable.

I just posted his chart. McCabe is a solid add and a legit 2nd pair D-man. Also of note, paired with Jones on a gold medal US team on which McCabe was the Captain
- Elbows15

Be it as it is right now, I am liking a top pairing of S Jones with McCabe. On McCabe's leadership capacity, I read a social media post a few minutes ago from I believe a Sabres beat reporter who said McCabe should've been the next captain in Buffalo.

A finance director who doesn’t rely on data? Please let me know what company you’re a director at so I don’t invest in it.🤦🏼
- paulr

Just need to be educated on the subject of the data. Are you really bringing anything to the table if you just base your opinion on charts and don’t do your own homework. I’m sure even someone like you Paulr could do that...or maybe not

if you have to resort to the "you don't watch hockey", you have lost.


its one step above. do you even hockey?

- Elbows15


I'd just give up trying to argue, the guy is oddly stubborn. Jones = elite & a guy Edm let walk is a great pker. If you don't see it, your loss

Not only that, he's a Bartlett guy. A coworker at a former company I worked at had a son that played with little league baseball with Vinnie and had nothing but good stuff to say about him.

Sure. I know numbers are hard for you. You have no idea who this guy was or is.

You are the classic otherteamism guy.

- Theo Fox

Do you think the hawks pair them or split them up to balance the talent on the first and second pairings?

- Popsghostly

To be clear, that's Dylan Sikura's older brother Tyler staying with the Jackets system.

Also, for those keeping score, Hinostroza's one-year deal with the Sabres is for $1.05M.

Yeah. at one time I knew a kid who came up playing hockey with a lot of the USDT guys and he raved about Vinny.

Someone said some crazy thing like McDavid will score 150 points with Hyman on his line. Can't find the article now.

Sadly, I think in 4 years Hyman will be drinking beers with Clarkson in some Toronto bar watching hockey.

Still waiting for P. Suter think his agent overplayed his hand.
- rpeters01


I really question Bowman's logic on not qualifying Pius Suter.. At first I thought perhaps the reason behind not qualifying Suter was perhaps both sides wanted a long-term deal but that's clearly not the case... Looks like Bowman is just letting him walk which makes absolutely no sense to me. Even if Suter wasn't in the plans moving forward, Bowman could have still qualified him then traded his rights..smh

Ahhh... I should read better. So that means Dylan is still on the first line with Stone in VGK. Didn't we have both of them at one point?

I'd give Hino 1.05M to be on our 4th line.
