do i have to do all the work????

time will tell. i think whoever signs him will regret it.

Why though? He's been a stud his entire career and his still youngish.

just not buying into the hype. decent player and thats it.

He's decent? That's it? Yikes. I know it's hot AF here but this a hot take.

Decent?

The guy is elite. What is this underselling...

 

[AveryQuietMan]

maybe the sun fried my brain today. lol.

just happy with our team. dont need him or that contract hes gonna sign.

I don't know why I'm even typing this but if we COULD get him we'd absolutely be a much better team with him. The contract is a question but without a doubt he instantly makes us a better team with any question. He's elite. Decent is not anywhere close to an accurate description.

 

[AveryQuietMan]

you are typing that because you want to have a discussion about it.

glad you did. i dont see anyone else saying we dont need him.

watching him play ill agree he might be a little better than 'decent'. the fact is he hasnt put up the numbers. maybe it was the players around him but dont elite players make those around them better? hes still a minus player by a lot.

he has potential but hes not going to turn our team around. i dont want him. hall came in and made the entire team better, he won MVP because of that. JT needs to go to a stacked team. hes great but not a great fit for us. if that makes sense.

yes, yes you do….. i only make so much a year, its not in my contract to post actual youtube links

That's what happens when you're on a losing team most of your career. That's why people thought Hall was overrated in Edmonton too.

 

[MadDevil]

I see somebody has already gotten to the "he's not that good anyway" argument. Never change HF. Never change.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

good give us that 3rd

OP IVY

TENSIONS IN OUR LIVES THAT ARE DESTROYING OUR MINDS!

 

[Billdo]

The Kings... what is going on there? I'm surprised they're all in with this team. I would love to pry Muzzin out of there if we took back a bad deal.

 

[Bleedred]

thank lou for this rule.

whod we take with that penalty pick??? matteau?

 

[AveryQuietMan]

you are ALL wrong!!!! -averyquietman 2018

I just can't see Lou letting their prize asset get away

I mean...how many times did it happen here?

At least people would stop complaining that it only happened here, if it happens now.

Ryan Reaves is making almost $3M a year. What a terrible contract.

 

[Bleedred]

Dammit! I didn't even know you beat me to it!

I still frickin get messages in between the quoted one on the previous pages buried on this forum haha.

I feel he was hired to retain JT #1, hiring a great coach just fell into place.

f***ing HELL. Why are GM's so f***ing dumb. Dude cant play hockey

There’s likely more pressure on Lou to keep him now than there was with any of our UFA’s. Lou doesn’t have tenure there. It won’t cost him his job or anything, but it might already be one dent against him on his resume with the ownership group. A lot of our prized assets left under Lou’s watch, though, not all of them were his fault and losing them was for the best all along. I don’t think any were as important as Tavares is for the Islanders. Maybe Nieder was, but we had #30 to absorb that.

Da fuq? This is actually real?

HEY! PIPE DOWN YOU!

You're talking about the GM of the year! George McPhee! One of the best GM's of all time! Do you know he took an expansion team to the Stanley Cup Finals in his first year?!
