7+6=13

He's a turnover machine.

Jack really needs to work on his forecheck. He just sticks out his arms.

Every player we've called up has stunk.

Oh Lou, don't

You can basically afford 2 or 3 top paying offensive contracts. If Skinner wants 9 mil or even north of that - I'm not sure JBot thinks he and Eichel are enough to compete with all the other duo's. It's not an easy decision. That Okposo contract is a real killer.

It'll be interesting to see how JBot gets treated around here if he decides not to sign Skinner. Which I think is very possible.

It doesn't bother me. However what should bother you is we're going to be very good, very soon and you're not going to enjoy the ride. Of course it's your right to follow your own directions. I'm just trying to help you take the better route. See you there.

Yet, you want to discuss who we'll draft.

Flop

Hutton comes out way to far out of the net, a lot.

God Kyle, get the puck to the net. Instead he turns it over.

I wish he'd act like a captain.

Sign this young man now please.

Good point. It would have to be just a straight trade with no signing contingency or obviously risk the potential of not having the opportunity to sign him.

Tough one. I'd say if he doesn't sign by the deadline we might have to. Of course we're not privy to the discussions but if Skinner seems set on 9.5 or I'll just go to free agency and let the market decide - we might just have to and hope we can part with him with the thought, this doesn't mean we don't want you back.

Definitely not strong in that area. IMO, it's what separates him from the games elite.

We've had a long history of some really good goaltenders. We need one badly and have no idea where one would come from.

I know he makes some knucklehead mistakes but how can anyone want Risto traded?

Risto with the hammer

Putting Sheary out there is a mistake.

Yeah We have the offensive edge.

Sheary is really bad at hockey.

This Tampa team uses the backhand pass more than any other team I see.

I agree with your take. These are two separate conversations. Overall toughness in the game vs goons or fighters. I do think toughness has been replaced with clutching and grabbing.

I would too. We all agree we need toughness but I don't want to sacrifice too much on skill to get it. I'd claim him and sign him to a 2 year deal. He'd be my replacement for Girgs whom I say goodbye to after this year.
