I like how Eichel seems to get pumped up for games against the Leafs.

i hate the leafs but have to say after watching the 3rd period last night, matthews can really shoot a puck. i thought the sabers played a good game. good enough to win....poope happens sometimes

Pittsburgh shopping Kessel.... Hmmmmmm

You guys should get rid of 1 of your Rasmus's, too confusing.....maybe a TO / Buff trade. We'll give you a hard working Johnsson back in return.

Honestly, that one could have gone either way last night. Matthew's snipe was filthy.

Would have been an interesting shootout to say the least with the offensive talent on both sides... if only we could have burned that last 2.7 seconds.

3 winnable games coming up after a little cool-down rest period.

Looking good.

I would like to see the offense augmented with a move somehow. I know it probably won't happen, especially given the time of year. Olofsson over a point a game still in Roch is so intriguing. I'm sure he could help the struggling powerplay. They'll probably just keep riding this out though.

Still no regulation losses for Ullmark


That's my Pollyanna view, anyway

Sounds like they want players in return, not picks prospects.

Okposo and Nylander

Anyone know where I can find head to head stats of Matthews vs Eichel career when they play one another?

Not much, I would not do that anyway, nothing should be added until Skinner is signed.

no thanks

Yeah but the return is not going to be huge based on age and salary...sooooo

Skinner - Eichel - Reinhart
Sheary - Middelstadt - Kessel


Yes please!!!

I think that would wake up the 2nd line quite nicely...

Okposo and Nylander
- SABRES 89

I'd do that everyday and twice on Sunday.

Skinner - Eichel - Reinhart
Sheary - Middelstadt - Kessel

sign Skinner to 8X8?

Cap is going up $4MM.
Molson coming off books. another 4MM
Dont resign Pominville, another $5.6MM
Trade Scandella - 4MM
Trade Sobodka - 3MM


Skinner gets a 2.5MM raise.

Phil is making 8 Million? Kyle is making 6 but two years longer contract. I'd have to think about this.

Toronto is paying 1.2 of that 8 so it is under 7MM per year.

he was in beast-mode last night

Rutherford wouldn't have to think about it at all. It would be a quick no to his protege
