Reinhart has come along strong

lmfao. I’m sorry, Baker feeling a bit seen? Dude is full value for every bit of grief I give him. Incapable of even *seeing* flaw in a sabres prospect. A disingenuous company salesman

Oftentimes defensive talent gets developed and rounded out at the nhl level: these guys are generally the offensive superstars in junior etc so there’s always been merit to that idea that these guys would see their defensive acumen develop on the big club the reason why it’s functional for a player to learn on the job in this way is because a team will generally carefully integrate young players to a stable, veteran environment another course of action a team may take is to instead simply flood and overwhelm the roster with these types of players, every year, and claim they are all learning to play defence at once. This strategy works well because it perpetuates it’s own reality moving forward allowing for maximum job security Pros/cons Exactly

Been harping on this for ages whenever someone says “we are loaded on talent, what’s missing?”

Dude you know I sail this ship with you but you need to pick the right guys. Some are interchangeable and some aren’t: Dahlin is in the Eichel Reinhart mold of very capably being one of THE guys on a perennial cup winner

No argument for trading Power over Byram unless it’s about the fact Power nets the way bigger return or something. Because he would because he’s the far more valuable asset

Part of the point of rostering two first overall D is we don’t need to shell out first pairing money for the guy who plays next to Dahlin. Dahlin himself bridges the gap. If you pay Byram what he earned *while playing with Dahlin* you should be unemployed as a GM lol Baseline for paying Byram should be what he did away from Dahlin id bridge him if possible

This is correct. His numbers are bad away from Dahlin. There’s too much data to even post if someone isn’t already coming away with that conclusion

I love Sidney Crosby

Nice apple from Reinhart

It took until tonight?

We are still “that team” and have all the swagger in the world but we are sort of Dark Knight Rises Batman. USA is bigger, and stronger, and just as fast

Reinhart is a near non-entity.

This is my thread. Eye rolls are plus 1

Type out with me

You rn I wish

Does he look nervous?

How good do these two teams looks today 🔥

Eichel is a playmaker

And they weren’t going to be tuning in, anyways even if the movie is mediocre, you don’t scimp on the trailer

In a good way? this is an INSANELY good look for the casual
