Did we not learn from the ROR trade to not come to conclusions until a reasonable amount of time has past ?

We also going to ignore what Eichel has done defensively ?

Actually of course we are, we completely disregard Asplund being good defensively and Skinner being a black hole every day on these threads.

Tuch is as good defensively as Jack.

Asplund was being rated as a Selke level defender by drunk people. Who ignored him?

One of them is on a 40 goal pace and the other is at a 20 goal pace.

There's never a, "hey let's see what happens here". It's always the sky falling without knowing all the facts. I guess it's just tiresome. Maybe I'm the one who needs a break.

Of course, and one represents 13% of the salary cap.

This is an odd obsession.

Being a Jack truther is very strange to me. I get it, the kid is a douche. Doesn't take away from his play on the ice.

Not sure if referring to me, but Eichel has been great and Tuch has nosedived the last 20-ish games.

Just look at the teams Jack has played since March 26th. How did we do against Chicago? Jack can impress me Thursday against Calgary.

I don't see that. Double Tuch would be an approx 120 pt player. Jack is not McDavid. He's certainly better and nothing but drinking Kool Aid will provide any other answer. However, Tuch has been a fine 1RW, he's not half the player Jack is by any means. Very good in his own right.

Doing relatively well 36. Enjoying the weather down here before it gets blistering hot. Working my nuts off, getting the house ready to put on the market...busy busy busy.

How about you? You back at work yet?

Not picking a fight, but Adams doesn't answer to you (or us). If Vic thought he could fight through it and attempt to contribute, then good on Vic for showing some toughness. Maybe they thought a 50% Vic was better than a 100% Bjork.

Yep. I understand why the salary floor this season, I do. I can't countenance it going forward. They don't need to be at the cap, but they should be within 10% of it with forward flexibility next season. The Pegulas have no reason to be cheap anymore. And, we know Terry is a real fan. He'll come around. In the end, I am very optimistic. I know they have an arena deal done with Governess Hochul. We are lucky to have them.

"Pegulas have no reason to be cheap anymore. "

You're living in an alternate universe.

They are getting killed at the box office, merchandise sales and pretty much every facet of being a professional hockey team owner during a pandemic.

Literally the worst coach in NHL history? Ok there bud.

He was demoted the fourth line after starting in Top 6 cause his play dictated it. The coach wasn’t just going to pop him up to the first line if he didn’t deserve it.

28,37,24 leading up to 40? That’s why you think 9m per is a good sign? Yikes. You should pop into NHL.com and check out what players with those stat line make…it’s not 9M

“Easily still 20 goals…” - shoulda woulda coulda

Again! Literallyno one could score? So no goals scored? How about it was a bad team made worse by a bad coach. Blame games aren’t the way to go bud.

Bad teams set bad records. Teams filled with bad contracts create an even worse situation. Can’t win with ‘em - nobody will take ‘em.

Inconsistent players don’t get 9M.
You’re classless.

Gonna make the 6hr trek on the weekend to Buffalo to watch the game vs Flyers. First game in years, very excited especially with OP signed and playing. Any advice for local brew pubs or wing places within walking distance of the downtown core? Gonna make a weekend out of the trip. Thanks.

One is falling off a cliff after a hot start one is heating up after a slow start.

There is actually a brew pub 2 of them in fact right across the street from the arena. Downtown Buffalo is a bit better than it was the last time you were here probably.

Good, Then I expect Jack will have a 2 point night Thursday night against Calgary when his team desperately needs him to have one.
