There's 2 ways to handle this home slice.

I either tell you to f- off

Or

Skip my posts.

A Florida Panthers fan asked what to expect out of Sam, he was excited about the trade.

I gave him my point of view. If you dont like it , too bad....

You and the other sammers have been proven completely wrong by the return. In the division.... 7 years worth of fluffing him, you got next to nothing.....

A future likely 20's 1st round pick and a 7 th round goalie 😀
Coming off a good season and showing the ability to play center.

It's over, he is not worth nearly what you thought.
Now you deflect. Typical

Drop it

Hi there 24,

Missed out on the nick foligno response from the other day. Weren't you one of the guys saying he would sign for 1.5 million ish and he sucked?

2 years 7.6 million again shows that my opinion is right about the player in question.

My saying a couple times that eakin should be a scoring upgrade over Larsson is not quite the constant crying about

Ror
Myers
Skimmer
Dahlin

All day everyday you post the same thing.

Pacha - Trump negotiated with the Taliban he is a clown

Not only is Biden negotiating with the Taliban he is paying them not to attack the airport. Worst president ever.

Eghads!

Just stop. However, since you brought it up,your hero and ever trusty side kick pompeo really screwed up when the doha agreement included a pledge by the u.s. not to strafe the poppy fields. With poppy as a huge source of income, and the fall harvest coming along they could've used that as leverage but, alas, the dunder-dork twins made this endeavor even more difficult.

Have at it. It's all yours ( and Alex's) I'm done for now on the subject.

We've gone over this - it's a terribly stupid point (not surprised it's you making it)

By this logic Ryan O'Reilly wasn't very good, because the return for him was terrible

Logic isn't your forte

Thx

It's gonna be tough to move him unless he makes a big jump. He's due $1.6m in real money next year with a $1.4m AAV.

No minors salary either.

- Hank Balling

$1.4/$1.6mm ( elitist use of million abbreviation) is not a lot fo him as I can see a 15-20 goal/35-40 point player with added ice time

Tage Thompson's career shooting percentage is 6.9% which means on average he will need to take 300 shots a year to score 20 goals.

Just for a benchmark, Sam Reinhart takes about 160 shots a year.

It's going to be tough sledding for Tage to hit 20 unless he can raise that shooting percentage

I liked Larsson too.

Looking at the 22 goals eakin scored (20 ish even strength) 2 years before my post , seemed like a scoring upgrade over larry.

Didnt work out....

+1 sbroads

I'm gonna just say that the excuse for every other player, was ralph......

Looked like we were adding some veteran winners to make a playoff run. Eakin had a couple good playoff runs for vegas.

It's more the opinion: ror was going to suck and have a bad back after being traded.

Not the return.....

Years of not acknowledging how good ror actually was.

Face off dont matter
Hes a fine player

Ror was an excellent sabre.

He really made you look foolish by winning a handful of trophies.

But

Cody. Eakin ☝️

Maybe we could parlay some timber into our goal scoring wager.

Mitts > great28 + eakin

My life coach and uncle ion, is a big guy. He told me it's more difficult to skate/ stick handle when being a big guy. Takes longer to be fluent.

My side with tage:
He's gonna play a ton and get every opportunity to score.


Good point with the shooting % 👍

Eakin had 5 goals and 1 assist in 27 playoff games for Vegas. That's considered good?

But got traded for peanuts?

So which is it - does what you bring back in a trade determine how good you are or not?

It does for Risto and Reinhart, not ROR?

Again, really flawed logic

You could have summed things up more succinctly as: Tage needs to learn to actually hit the net consistently with his shot, or he's not going to improve his goal numbers.

I'm not sure why everything is 100% one way or another.
You have no grey area...

In ror's case the return sucked. He was a really good player and proved it by winning the stanley cup and a handful of trophies.

You were wrong.

Different gm as well.

Now, within the same week 2 guys get traded for different returns.

Risto - who you wanted to leave for seattle too claim for free gets the 13th pick, a 2nd and a player.
How many posts over and over did you repeat how he was a 5th or 6th defenseman?

You were wrong

Sam - traded for futures. You loved him.

You were wrong, he got very little return
