Second Line Center

I agree. He’s in position to be the guy that saved the Bills, take the profits from that sale and focus completely on the Sabres. But the list of potential Loyal to Buffalo forever owners is probably …. Less then 5?

I admit when I saw Duclair got traded today I was upset. Immediately thought they don’t think he’s going to be 100% during the remainder of his contract this season so trade him now and get something. And it’s not a big salary that they’re shedding. Maybe not part of the calculation/evaluation here by Florida but how could you rule that out?

I’m sure it’s in another thread but worth noting….here

That they think Levi will be playing 50 plus games. He played how many games down the stretch in a row including back to back nights just 1 month removed from college? In a hectic race for the playoffs we haven’t seen in 12 years. They’ll bring someone in as a hopeful upgrade from UPL and Comrie I’m pretty sure. I think that’s the plan.

I don’t think he plays much against top lines like Muel does. Muel plays over 22 minutes a game. Clifton around 17. Don’t get me wrong I think he can play there in a pinch all I’m saying is we are still looking for a partner for Power.

I don’t think with those numbers he’s playing with Power. He’s a 5/6/7 guy on a Stanley Cup team - which is why this is a great signing. Get a Top 4 D. Goalie. Let’s go.

Also tore his in the summer but he’s 34 RALEIGH, N.C. -- Carolina Hurricanes winger Max Pacioretty suffered a second tear of his right Achilles tendon, the team said. Pacioretty was placed on injured reserve after he was hurt late in the third quarter of a win over Minnesota. Players placed on IR must sit out a minimum of seven days, but this injury will almost certainly end Pacioretty’s season. The 34-year-old had surgery over the summer after the initial tear of his right Achilles tendon. https://www.nbcsports.com/nhl/news/hurricanes-max-pacioretty-suffers-2nd-achilles-tendon-tear

Pacioretty tore it twice.

Did Davidson just say he likes Dylan Cozens game?

I called trading Eichel as inevitable a year before it happened - not because he wasn’t the generational talent we hoped he’d be. It was because we weren’t ever going to be good enough before he turned 30. It had to be done. Same Reinhart. I was only angry at Jack after the game here at home. The comments about the fans. Whatever. The trade worked out for both teams and I couldn’t be happier. Watching ROR win the Cup - that was terrible. And, it probably added to Eichel needing to leave. The whole team saw how badly we botched this post 2015 draft build. I wasn’t rooting for Vegas to start Then I saw Eichel play against McDavid. That was the guy we drafted. The 2 way game. The speed, power, and hustle. Here he was dominating all 200 feet and if I’m not mistaken just back in January - was called out by his coach for his play. He could have sulked pouted and maybe this didn’t work out but it has. That’s a sign of much maturity. He never had that leadership here. To hold him accountable. And he beat McDavid. I still don’t like that Murray looked as dour as he did when we got 2nd pick. It’s his personality and it’s why he wasn’t a good leader of a franchise. I’m sure Jack knew there was some disappointment and well….just a 6 year mess. People grow, change, mature. Or not. But I like the game he’s playing and I like how Vegas is built and plays together. I’ve been rooting for them since Edmonton and hope they win it. I’d like to thank Florida for knocking out the 3 teams I hate the most in the NHL. Well done.

My God that was awesome

Would be all for a 2-3 year deal with Casey. 3x10-12 mill sign me up. He can cash in at his age 27 season.

Hill sucks.

Reinhart leads in ice time but I haven’t even noticed him.

Eichel a defensive force and physical menace. Dam.

If it was us trading Hart I guarantee the hope would be we could maybe get a 2nd and a mid level prospect. And that would be right. He isn’t worth more then that.

Jason Botterill Still an Option in Penguins GM Search The Pittsburgh Penguins seem set on Kyle Dubas, but there are still a few names floating around the GM search. The Pittsburgh Penguins could name a new general manager at any moment and the likely outcome is the involvement of Kyle Dubas in some way. Elliotte Friedman on the 32 Thoughts Podcaststated that people in and around the Penguins organization are preparing for Dubas to take control. If it ends up not being Dubas, however, who is left in the running? Friedman stated previously that Mathieu Darche and Steve Greeley are being held as backup options if Dubas decides to go another direction, but there was a new name to add. According to Friedman, he was told that Jason Botterill might still have a fighting chance in this race. Botterill has been back and forth in the Penguins’ GM search since the very beginning and at multiple moments seemed to be completely out of the running. https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsburgh-penguins/news/jason-botterill-option-pittsburgh-penguins-general-manager-search

Well then … Setting up for an Eichel winner in OT

I couldn’t care less about Eichel. Have been rooting against Vegas from day 1 of his arrival there but their winning doesn’t bother me in the least. The story of this playoffs to me is the Oilers. How come McDavid and Draisaitl haven’t won 1 Conference Final game at this point in their careers - and only appearing in one? I expect the Coach to be fired and then to be extremely active in the goalie market.

Is it safe to say “enforcers” of the late 60s, 70s, and 80s didn’t take the kind of care of themselves as the non enforcers? Why did they use 1967? Guaranteed a lot more alcohol Studying enforcers vs non enforcers is giving you a totally different human.

Wow what a goal. 4-3 Kings 15 minutes left. This is the best series by a mile. Unreal.

Series over.

Faceoffs matter.

Wtf is going on How the hell do you know it hit his stick
