I think they paid market rate, It's not really an anchor though. His reputation is built on having strong intangibles so even if the points fluctuate, the contract can be moved if it needs to be.
- Michael Ghofrani

Honestly, does he have twice as many qualities as girgensons. He is clearly injured too often (girgs)

But girgs scores 5 x 5 , pk's and is a big hitter....
Also an alternate captain

Those are intangibles as well at almost 4 million less a year.

Tkachuk, no way in hell he comes here and the Sabres won't pay him 9 or 10 a year.

Me.
He is going to the Blues if it goes to Arb Hearing.
Keep the assets, try to beat the Blues in FA next season.

Dodger Stadium really is a majestic stadium. Just a classic. Doesn’t get the credit it deserves.

Not sure if you saw earlier, or maybe I missed it, but why is he worth double what Stone got in a reasonably similar situation?

Tkachuk is over 2 years younger and coming off a 40 goal 100 point season.

I like this take. Money is the #1 motivator. If Columbus can reel in Johnny Hockey, no UFA should be unreachable for the Sabres.

Without looking closely, Stone was probably the better player though, right?

if only girgens played like a 14th overall player instead of a 4th liner, we may have witnessed a playoff game in the last 10 years

Stone has been a 1st liner for the last 5 years


Tkachuk
for 1 year riding shotgun with Johnny

Didn’t you used to promote him as our “next Captain” at one point?

Interesting on Watson

if Judge Sue Robinson says it should be 6-8 games suspended, Roger can add more games

If Judge Sue Robinson say zero games for Watson, Roger has to live with it

I thought he would be special

I was wrong

No, I wouldn't say that, especially if this is the Tkachuk you are getting going forward.

Yahoo's Charles Robinson reports Deshaun Watson will sue the NFL if he is suspended for the entire 2022 NFL season.
Robinson said Watson and the NFL players union "have already made the decision to file a lawsuit against the league in federal court" if Watson is slapped with a yearlong suspension after being accused of sexual assault and misconduct by dozens of women. Such a move would further drag out the never-ending Watson saga. The timing of arbitrator Sue Robinson's decision on Watson's punishment remains unclear as the Browns prepare for training camp. Watson could face as little as a month-long suspension, or no suspension at all, though that seems unlikely after more allegations surfaced following Cleveland's trade for Watson. Every fantasy-relevant Browns player's prospects hinge on Watson's availability in 2022.


This POS should be in prison

Most points Stone has had in a season is 73
Tkachuk has beat that twice, and last season had over 100pts

It seems pretty clear that bc of Tkachuk’s offensive upside, he’ll get a better return

he would hold back player x in 2025

Doesn't matter, he is not coming here.

I know that I did. I may have been just a tad bit wrong... he looked really good there that one year when we really sucked.

I always thought Girgs was overrated
Saw him as a “defensive 3C” when we drafted him

Maybe that’s why I’ve always liked Girgs compared to so many
He ended up being roughly what i thought he would
But with most on here, he didn’t live up to their lofty expectations
