I can't with 36s grammar any longer. He's trolling, right? Right??
- Khmylev

Complaining about bad grammar while also not knowing how to use proper grammar... this is typical Khmylev behavior.

36's would be the proper form of grammar, by the way. I tell you this because you clearly don't know how to use teh Engrish porporly. An apostrophe shows ownership. If his user name was 36s, you still would have managed to use it wrong, since an apostrophe goes after the s - 36s'.

You managed to fail on 2 (two) levels tonight. Congratulations. Inception-level failing like only a racist social worker would be able to do.

36 doesn't troll, believe me. And he's absolutely right - We are on an obscure hockey blog, not an academic forum, so now that you've fulfilled your monthly visit to Hockeybuzz just so you could be a geriatric diaper rash is out of the way, please go back to whatever hole you crawled out of.

To be fair his first 22 starts I couldn’t tell a difference.

Now he looks like Steve Young.

In terms of accuracy, sure, but in terms of how each throws the football, there's not much comparison between Tebow and Allen.

Saw the below in the Anaheim Ducks blog comments.

Interesting thought.

Will Mason McTavish be the centerpiece of an Eichel trade? Is that why they signed him now.

Seems more destined to be a 3C or 2LW to me. He gets around the ice good enough, just no high end speed...which they can I prove a bit. He plays a very strong 2-way game...again, 3C is where he'll thrive.

Adams' absolutely needs to get a high potential 1C out of the trade, IMO. He can't rely on this sucky roster to finish 32nd thereby guaranteeing a top 3 pick next draft. If it happens, then it's a GREAT "problem" to have.

To that end, get him the surgery to break the logjam, show him off when recovered (like what was said earlier here by another poster) in the Olympics, create a package ... whoever is playing well and killing their chances at 32nd, lol...really, I like Olofsson for that use, and take a 1 or 2 year cap dump.

They're not getting the bold, not now and doesn't look like in the future either.

Wouldn’t be my first choice but I think Adam’s could come out with a tie in the trade with him as a centerpiece.

We have Mitts and Cozens, someone needs to play 3rd line center anyway. Plus we are set for a top pick next year.

Mctavish, unprotected 2022 1st (I assume it will be a top 10 pick in a great draft) , another solid prospect (won’t be Zegras or Drysdale) and Henrique. I think Henrique is perfect to hit cap and isolate Cozens and mitts for a year.

We get three pieces towards a new core, Jack rotts in Anaheim (don’t see them winning a cup ). Trade stays a draw. That’s a win for Adams IMO

My theoretical was Eichel for McTavish, Perreault, Dostal, and the Anaheim 22 1st.

Henrique coming back makes a lot of sense for cap purposes, as does trading for Tarasenko and then immediately flipping him while retaining 50%.

I’m shocked the Bills are showing this much of their playbook in the first preseason game.
- Hatboro_Swords

Maybe it's a good sign letting players get the reps. Come regular season it's like, "try and stop me."

We could get a good return but it’s never going to be a tie or a win. The odds of that happening are slim to none.

Eichel is going to be in the MVP conversation for the next 4-5 years if he’s remotely healthy and on a competent team

Looks very unlikely...UNLESS Eichel has successful surgery and returns to form.
That is THE only game changer...IMO of course.

I accept that as reality and would only use Eastern conference teams as leverage for that reason. Put him in a different time zone. Preferably one where he plays us at 11 pm
