wow, you guys should be GM's. If only they all had your math skills.

What he's worth ;) But honestly, I think it depends on a lot of things. I'm just predicting that he may very well prove to be and important piece for our team this year, and GMBot will look at him fairly (since his baggage is gone), and make the appropriate decision. If they can buy-out Moulson for his last year, maybe that'd free up cap space. I don't know what the number would be. In the neighborhood of 6mil/yr? I'm not a contract/cap hit guru. But that may inflate to 7mil/yr, considering Okposo and Moulson were at 6, and I think the contract should be similar.

Right. But they don't score 30 goals. This shouldn't be this difficult...

So Gorges, Moulson, and Eichel are playing tonight? I thought those scrimmaging this morning won't play tonight.

Yes, when you have to chase very fast players, you get tired. Especially when they also hit you hard

physical presence, hard to play against, opens up ice for other players. And I'll say it again, 30 goal scorers don't grow on trees. He's not a 2-way forward, but 2-way forwards aren't the only valuable players. Now I'm just thinking... people just wanted to hate Kane when he arrived here, and I can understand that. He had a lot of baggage. But that's over now, but so many people just don't wanna get over this. We wouldn't be having this discussion about so many other players.

Maybe this is a case in point for Bills fans lowered expectations, but I will enjoy watching games - even if we lose - if the defense consistently plays that well

So this is incorrect? And this is correct?

Bogosian stickhandled around a bunch of people a few times. Very aggressive play from him, and did not know he had hands like that

No, you don't understand- we needed to trade him, to get the extra draft picks... so we can move up in the draft next year, and draft an elite receiver like him? Makes sense, right? On another note, when we have our "franchise QB," this awesome defense we have now will be gone, right?

What time is that?

The offense only had urgency at the very end, and put together a decent drive. If only they could play the whole game like that.

Not tough for some, apparently!

Yes, a potential 30 goal scorer. Those don't grow on trees.

I thought that goes without saying. However, I still think he can break 30 goals I agree

I wasn't saying 7th would be shaming. Below that, I thought, would

This would seem believable if he didn't lead our team in goals. So...

What I'm saying is, if we don't want him to play, that is our only option. It is our responsibility to deal with the (unfortunate) situation honorably, as opposed to shaming a veteran who did nothing wrong.

Exactly what I was saying. If we don't want him on the ice, the honorable thing to do is buy him out.

Was there anything conclusive re:rumors of him being, like, 23 at the time of the draft? Would explain a lot...

I think he'll find his niche this year. I do agree he does lack some vision, but I think he could have more 30 goal seasons on the right line with the right system. I think this system will bode well for him

nfreeman wants you to know this is obnoxious :P :P :P

long story, but this works :thumbsup:

he needs to dangle more :thumbsup:
