  1. Lighting just too deep and strong through the lines. It just looks like an inevitable cup for Tampa.
  2. Ya. I hate Perry, always have. But I admire his will to win. He doesn't care about how he looks, friendships, reputation, nothing. Just wants to win. He's the slowest guy in the NHL but is a difference maker in the finals out of sheer stubborned determination. Hate him, but tip my hat to him at the same time.
  3. Interesting take. Question. Would you trade Petey for Eichel. I wouldn't. Not a chance. Not even close.
  4. Something really wrong with that franchise. They have had some talent come through, and even now they have pieces. A losing atmosphere is just so toxic and tough to erase. JB made signings to avoid this and we have been fortunate to have good goaltending. Will be a long haul for the Sabres to escape this rabbit hole.
  5. It's not like Eichel hasn't had some great players around him. Maybe he's the issue.
  6. That's best case. If there are no bums in the seats, keep in mind the States are a mess, there will be no games.
  7. I've never been a fan of his attitude. O'Reillys comments a few years back seemed directed at Eichel. He's a great player but one cannot underestimate the mood some of these players impose on locker rooms. EVERY time I even see a picture of Petey I thank the hockey gods he is a Canuck. A superstar star skill set is one thing. A superstar with a healthy, postive, team first, winning attitude is worth more than gold.
  8. Fair enough but where does it go from here. At best, maybe the NHL starts up in Dec Jan with 50 percent capacity. That won't pay the bills. Revenues are going to be crap for possibly years. A lot of folks, especially in the States are hurting. This will get real interesting yet.
  9. Yikes. Will take a lot to get Eichel. I would think Buffalo would only entertain a top flight center in return.
  10. Risto has his warts and I'm guessing it's why he hasn't been moved. No team wants to offer up a lot for him. I'm not a fan but if it's Jake and Sutter I'd do it.
  11. Given the flat cap, uncertainty moving forward with the abilty to play games with fans in the seats, I'm shocked the NHL hasn't given each team a one player buyout going into next season. LE would be our buy out for sure.
  12. No to Risto, he's doesn't impress me. Would love Cernak and trading a first for the following year would be worth it imho.
  13. Of all those, I believe Barrie is the target for JB. Agree or disagree a show me deal for a wilted player works for the team and avoids expansion draft protection. Barrie has shown interest in coming home. JB has shown interest in trading for him last draft. No Tanev re-signing on the right side. Not difficult to read the tea leaves here.
  14. Hornquist comes to mind. Not ninth round but seventh. Last round of his draft year.
