pi2000 Posted February 24, 2020 Report Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) Responsible two-way player, knows how to defend and can contribute some offense. It's not just all about the points, he's the type of guy they needed along with Simmonds. Edited February 24, 2020 by pi2000 2 Quote

Unless he takes off in Pittsburgh, I have a hard time seeing him get that qualifying offer given the price tag. 1 Quote

rakish Posted February 24, 2020 Report Posted February 24, 2020 My math in my head isn't what it once was, closer to 22 or 23% with Malkin Quote
... Posted February 24, 2020 Report Posted February 24, 2020 Twitter keeps mentioning Kahun has "lots of injuries". Hope this guy ain't Bogo 2.0. Quote

But these are guys you trust to put out there at the end of tight games. And Simmonds should replace Risto on the PP net front. 1 Quote

Yeah, but in those case RK shortens the bench quite severely in the 3rd period. These moves will give him a bit more flexibility and take some of the load off the other guys. 3 Quote

Hope this guy ain't Bogo 2.0. 82 games played last year. 50 out of 61 this year. I guess the question is if those 11 games missed came in multiple blocks or if it was a one time thing. Quote

Stoner Posted February 24, 2020 Report Posted February 24, 2020 Kahun. Not fiiltered by board software. Good trade. Quote

Brawndo Posted February 24, 2020 Report Posted February 24, 2020 This is good assessment management. Credit to Botterill for this one Quote
