i havent' seen this mentioned, or i missed it:

jack is out west where the sabres will see him twice a year = huge

- Michael Pachla



Very huge. Got some Av fan buddies here in the midwest. Lets just say they weren't very excited and are already trying to talk some poop to me about how bad the trade was for buffalo probably cause they are upset that it makes life harder for them

The logic doesn't make any sense. Yes, they're decimated with injuries, but nothing in that trade makes that worse. Tuch was already out for a long time and Krebs has posted a literal goose egg stat line in his 9 games with Vegas this year. They still have assets to acquire bodies if they need to.

Stacking the team for a possible (non) playoff run.

Can Krebs be used only those 9 games and save a year on his rookie deal?

Is he past that threshold?

Everyone who thinks The Golden Knights overwhelmingly won this trade is forgetting Jack Eichel is going to be living in Las Vegas

the one thing I really like on adams


sounds like he refuses to compromise

doesn't talk bad about the players

only wants players that want to be here (wonder if this is from what he learned in locker room during his playing days)

- homiedclown



Theres a McDermott to Adam's.

Good hire by the pegula's in both sports.

Likeable, relatable human beings...

Quinn is bad vs Rossi is the better prospect is where some of you need to read more. Not once did I say Quinn was bad, or a bad pick (unless you infer that Rossi would have been a better pick is saying Quinn is a bad pick, in which case fine but that is semantics). There is way more time for this to sort itself out, and I stand by Rossi being a really good player, in which case I was right regardless of Quinn is also a really good player. Also position of need, center being priority always. So shame away if you need, I stand by what I said and time will tell if I'm right or not (hence how can I be inaccurate).

Appreciate the win-win situation you've put yourself in. πŸ˜€

Eichel is way better all around.

It ain't even close my guy.

Mathews is the better scorer.

- DirtyDan


Better all around? Where? Is he killing penalties? Is he a dominant 2-way forward? No. He is a great offensive player. No respective player ranking has ever had Jack near Mathews.

Naw there's a loss in there if Rossi is bad. But yeah regardless it is a win for me if Quinn is a stud. And I would love being wrong.

Cause the league babies Mathews. They baby the Leafs.

Mathews is not good behind the red line. I've watched Eichel dominate him for the puck.

Easier to compare players when they play each other.

Mathews has has better linemates his whole career as well.

Hmmm
For all asking, my understanding is the @NHLFlames have Tkachuk ( who is a future potential captain) an upcoming 1 Rd pick, a former 1st Rd pick, and 2 prospects in the Eichel sweepstakes with the @BuffaloSabres . @espn @NHLNetwork #HockeyTwitter

If true, how do you compare to the Vegas deal?

- lulags


Adams said it was absolutely NOT TRUE during his presser.

So every player ranking is babying the Leafs? Um.... ok. Just keep in mind that Mathews is probably the best goal scorer in the league right now.

All he does is catch touchdown passes.

Not happy with the return but we weren't winning with Jack Eichel

Would have liked to see a proven young player in there too.

This is the original post by Vegas. Read the fans replies

- lulags

a lot of those replies are fake. Its a twitter trend now for opposing teams fans to get on a teams message board to say "Im no longer a fan"

Its a weird trend
