I think they’ve got the reputation they’ve earned. Look at their actual roster though. They have a few really old guys and it's skewing the numbers. They could shed Lewis, Thompson and Budaj and add a few younger players to pull that average down. I think Jeff Carter is also tradable. No NMC or anything.

I’m sure a lot of older teams could shed some old guys and add younger guys to bring their average age down. That’s how averages work. But the fact is they are older than any other team. Not trying to be snarky, it’s just how their situation is right now. They’re old and slow. They absolutely could change that with a few tweaks but until they do this is how they have to play.

LGR4GM Posted November 5, 2018 Report Posted November 5, 2018 Gord MillerVerified account @GMillerTSN 3m3 minutes ago More Gord Miller Retweeted David Mitchell There is consensus in the agent/management ranks that Nylander originally wanted 8+ million a year. I’m hearing he’s come down a bit, but not much.

Brawndo Posted November 6, 2018 Report Posted November 6, 2018 Let’s check in with the Ottawa Senators 1
inkman Posted November 6, 2018 Report Posted November 6, 2018 I suddenly feel great about the Sabres. Yikes!
Randall Flagg Posted November 6, 2018 Report Posted November 6, 2018 The only thing I'll say about that is, there can absolutely be real evidence that guys are locker room cancers. Matt Duchene with the terrible look, after all of the other stuff about him refusing to talk to anyone in Colorado for weeks before being traded.

Eleven Posted November 6, 2018 Report Posted November 6, 2018 Lemieux Jr got 2 games. What a load of sht this league is sometimes....
Ducky Posted November 6, 2018 Report Posted November 6, 2018 Lemieux deserved 6 games easy. A frickin joke. It was a blatant attempt to injure. I don't want this guy on this team. Send him to the Moose and bench him. As far as Myers goes, he is so bad in his own end with the puck that my a$$ could crack walnuts when he tries to handle the puck in the D zone. A 3rd pairing D man taking up 5.5m of the cap? Kulikov taking up another 4.33m. That's 9.83m for your two 3rd pair D men!

The time on that camera has to be wrong, Duchene is in the car, and so is Formenton (spelling?) and Tierney. All new guys. But I do agree that this happens on all 31 teams every season

The clock on the camera is wrong. See Flagg’s post above for proof. The article also has clarity on the date. Here’s how I feel: it looks terrible. I think there are more than a handful of teams and players are the league who have done and said the same. It’s hard to imagine fixing that without moving some pieces (the coach, GM, Duchene, etc.) but it’s not necessarily a fair position for any of these people to be in (except Melnyk, eff that guy).

Sometimes people will vent which is normal for a team that had so much drama on and of the ice for a year. If I was that coach though, I would hand in my resignation , don't see how he can still work with those guys.
