There we go. If they're dangling Carlo, they're on the right path.

That would've been great.

 

[MindzEye]

Aim higher than Peterka

How much better do you want to do than a 23 year old who is steadily improving and just came off a 68 points in 77 games season?

Also, what the hell are the Sabres even doing?

Paper soft with 1st line usage, 1st unit PP usage, and an oiSH of 15%...68 points isn't impressive.

Remember back in the day when we convinced the league that Matt Stajan was a 2nd line centre because he was putting up ~60 point paces because he was playing 18-19 minutes a game and within a month of the trade he was struggling to hang onto his spot on Calgary's 3rd line?

I'm not saying this is that, but I'm also not saying this isn't that. It's way easier to put up counting stats on bad teams that don't play defence.

I recall stajan actually being a pretty good player for the flames after that first year

3C, never put up more than 33 points in a season for them.

In fantasy hockey I call this the Stajan-rule. Feed any half-decent offensive player all the prime minutes and he'll lay up 60pts, but that's the ceiling. In actual hockey, it's called the pump and dump.

Leafs horny for Roslovic. They finally listened.

Ew

To who?

 

[Preston]

Better be a super short term deal

 

[JackBurton]

To who?

Some old, kooky broad on X.

If it’s a one year deal, ok.

Otherwise, no thanks.

 

[Preston]

Ya no interest in giving term to canes scrap that was a healthy scratch in the playoffs.

Benoit strikes again! This guy is on a roll.

There's going to be a lot of African kids rocking Marner jerseys in ~6 months
