Can someone tell me why Matt Irwin played 24 games so far this season?

Oh my lord he's awful.

If I know Ralph, he's so excited in that clip because a defenseman chipped the ball into the other team's half of the field and then quickly retreated to his own net.

phat!

maybe we should try to get stinklander back for 20 cents on the dollar

Hopefully

I assume there will be a taxi squad again next season

With the expansion draft things could be interesting

A few things on all the back reading:

If this team doesn't want Risto there is no way they expose him, they would trade him before hand

Maybe they expose Miller or trade him before as well

Eakin should get waived and end up on the practice squad.

Sam is playing himself out of a contract in Buffalo, again why they didn't sign him long term last off season or the season before is beyond me. But if he does get dealt I would look for guys on their ELC, there is no way you can trade him for a Thakuk with his QO being at least $9 million.

Interesting off season upcoming indeed, and that is even before discussing Eichel

Gonna have to add me to the crowd that doesn't understand why Sam is:

a.) on his way out the door because we didn't sign him long-term and he wants to play in Vancouver

b.) so valuable that we couldn't stand to lose him/he won't sign long-term now that we've played around with him

Reinhart is streaky. He seems to be a 2nd half of the year type of player. He would be great for a team going into the playoffs. However, if he played like that all season, he might actually help a team get to the god damn playoffs for once in a decade, of which he's been here for 75% of at this point.

He scored a hatty and all of a sudden he's Ovechkin-level. Yeah, Ovechkin at 35 years old and even that's a stretch.

He is Jason Pominville without the goal against Ottawa in OT in the playoffs and I remember Pominville as one of the most lame captains in our history who also was a ghost for the beginning of the season and only turned it on after the New Year, and could hardly lead a team to the playoffs despite being one of the most consistent players in the NHL.

Boring hockey doesn't make for success.

If you move sam you draft guenther to take his spot

Could Risto get you Iaffalo from LA or maybe Kupari
- Buff36

Viking55 is terrible.

Viking55 could get us a top 6 winger

Pick a lane

Will be interesting, do you bridge Dahlin or go long term
- Buff36

Imo, this is another feather in The Don's hat.
He revealed just how horribly Fvckin' Freddy and poopty Smith destroyed that kid in their "system".
Now, his confidence has been restored and his development takes off again. He still isn't a good defender, but an outstanding Offensive Dman who should continue to develop defensively.

Sign him long-term to lock him up at a far more reasonable price than it will likely be next year or two.

Invest now in him, and invest in his partner with a stud Dman like Savard or Hamilton...with Savard likely being more economical.

Going to need to make smart decisions this offseason for the long-term.

you can't keep rebuilding around eichel though

No way they can afford Tkachuk, unless they got rid of Skinner. Think Okposo is done. And agree with the taxi squad. I am wondering what is gonna happen with all the minor league teams and prospects, cause it ain't really getting much better in Canada and overseas is getting hammered again. Think LA, Calgary, Arizona would be interesting teams to call if you do deal Risto and Rhino.

Viking55 is terrible.

Pick a lane
- Boss34

I have picked a lane and it's time for him to go. Just saying I would ask for that, poop I would take a couple picks for him just so I don't have to see him tip the puck into his own net like last night.

- homiedclown

I think eichel's gone.

Do you really think a 20 game stretch where the Sabres move from 31st place to only 31st place by a point?

This doesnt appeal to the 24 year old star in my opinion

there's a lot of salary cap flexibility if ka/jk can a.) get vegas to take miller and b.) convince okposo to go on ltir...the two kid lines are not going to account for much even after re-signing phatty and asplund...here's a lineup with some re-signs and fa's to use as a base

skinner (9) - Jack (10) - skunk (7)
rutso (925k) - cozens (895k) - bjorkie (1.6)
asplund (1.1) - mitts (2) - his tallness (1.4)
olofsson (3) - sheahan (800k) - reider (8.5)

caligula (800k) - gus (2.2)

dahlin (6) - d. savard (4.5)
m. reilly (3.5) - joker (2.5)
bryson (900k) - risto (5.2)

borgen (950k)

ullmark (4.5)
drieger (2.5)

waive eakin (1.125)

total according to capfriendly: $74.275m

Lane has been chosen, duly noted.

Whatever you are seeing or not seeing in regards to viking55 is not an nhl secret.

If he's worth a top 6 iafolla type winger, he's not going for a few picks
