This is why I don't engage with you. You accuse me of temper tantrum for your biased posting when I mention I disagree with it and precisely why. It's an old tactic but it checks out.

1) Team MVP: Rasmus Dahlin 2) Rookie of the Year: Mattias Samuelsson 3) Comeback Player of the Year: Jeff Skinner 4) Unsung Hero (player who doesn’t get enough credit): Kyle Okposo 5) Top Forward: Jeff Skinner 6) Team Norris: Dahlin 7) Team Vezina: UPL Edit 8.) Most improved player. (I knew I was forgetting something). Tage Thompson

Wait... wait wait. Let's look at this more. First, Sam Reinhart has improved ever single year he has been in the league (not always in points but I think if we all watched him he always seemed to be just a bit better) but you deliberately discount it by taking a shot at him here while then going on to praise Olofsson later for the same thing. Calling Sam inconsistent his first 3 years is not accurate. So Reinhart is inconsistent while improving each year but Olofsson just gets a "improved each year" that a boy type of response. I like that you begrudgingly state Reinhart is a good forward while making it obvious you wouldn't want him on your team. Second, you go on to target Reinhart's team character. This is a player that no one has ever criticized as a teammate so you made this up completely showing bias. Literally the only person to go after Reinhart's character is Hamilton, ever other teammate and the like he has had has said nothing but positive things about his on and off ice presence. I could go back over the skating again but if you are calling Reinhart slow but VO fast is something. His first name is Samson. Like that is literally his full first name.

Ahh yes one of Reinhart's most ardent critics. My favorite part of this is that part 1 literally means that part 2 shouldn't matter (part 2 is not factual) and then we got my favorite and biggest Reinhart myth ever, slow skating. At least admit you aren't right about him and move on, stop with the fake slander and bad faith arguments. Reinhart wasn't part of the problem or solution yet his "supposed" poor periods of play coincided with the team being bad. That's just amazing logic to write that in concurrent sentences.

Probably the most likely scenario unless Vegas surprises. The magic number is 97pts currently. Any team that hits 97 points is going to be ahead of Vegas or tied with them.

Passing, the cycle, board play, zone exits, defense, staying healthy, consistency, and his shot is on par even if it isn't as laser focused as Olofsson. You don't have a career 13.6sh% and 5 straight seasons of 20+ goals because your shot is mediocre. Hockey IQ also goes to Reinhart. I might even include scoring goals. Olofsson's shot from the circle is awesome but Reinhart seems to have the ability to score in more varied ways.

I'm fine with any overpayment for 3 years because I think we can deal with it under the cap. Joker, Dahlin, Power, Mitts, Krebs all have contracts due in 2024 so thats when the cap situation will get dicey.

I don't think the last year can be 2 due to the CBA. I think it would have to be 2.5 but maybe I am remembering the CBA wrong. Manson is more likely a 3mil dollar defender.

As I said all year it wasn't just simply "play harder" it was you gotta add the talent to play at a level where play harder matters.

Reinhart and it's not close

Probably depends on Florida having to play Carolina and Tampa

I don't think it is a guarantee, instead I think it's trying to improve the odds If their psyches are so fragile they don't understand being sent to Rochester to help them, trade them immediately.

Than is a comparison not involving time Then involves time

I will tell you what, you explain what you see the Sabres doing in the defensive zone and specifically what you don't like about it and we can go from there. For me, I have noticed that they breakout by winning the corner battle and the forwards give them 2 options immediately, just in front and to the side of the net and up the wall. Usually they like to give to the guy in front of the net so they can either switch sides or skate it out. Occasionally we see the ring around the other d partner.

I don't think Holtby would come here. He's not after an emerging team, he wants a contender.

Lol, doing victory laps after a team wins a shootout is something. The guy who gave up what 2 goals last night and only 5 in the last 3 games? That upl?

This would be my concern as well. Also, I don't do anything over 6 years. The Dahlin's and Power's get the 8 year deals.

Any ufa center in the league

He went back to get his business degree.
