Around the League Thread Part III: Free Agent Frenzy Hangover

[Reclamation Project]

that's a disgrace, no wonder Eichel wants out.




From an interview he did (referenced in the article below) from a podcast

Ex-Sabres goalie Robin Lehner alleges team medical staff mishandled his injury, others

“The (stuff) they did to some of the players when I was there and especially to me regarding my ankle sprain, it was crazy, man," Lehner told former NHLer Cam Janssen and St. Louis Blues rinkside reporter Andy Strickland on their "The Cam and Strick Podcast." "I had a high ankle sprain. They had me on a bike one week after I had fully torn everything, worst-grade ankle sprain. One week after (the injury), they put me on a bike with a special boot. I should have been walking on it maybe six-to-eight weeks after I got it. They had me doing leg presses with like 300 pounds three weeks into it, and I re-sprained everything and ended up having surgery.”

According to ManGamesLost.com, the Sabres have the third-most injuries in the NHL since the start of the 2010-11 season. Some of their top players have been slowed by high-ankle sprains in recent seasons, including goalie Linus Ullmark and winger Victor Olofsson.

And people said I was crazy because I don't trust the Sabres and I'm fully on Eichel's side. What a train wreck of an organization.

Still a few free agents left that would be a good pickup

Donato would be one and Bozak, although his best days are behind him, would still bea decent bottom 6er.

THIS.

Does anyone want to bet if Kane is a Shark next year?

But, I'm gonna' die on this hill: I still say Kane at least STARTS this coming season as a Shark. Does this site do vCash or some other nonsense like that? I'm in for $10 (hey that rhymes, or something...)

 

[King'sPawn]

Genuinely curious: did he provide anything resembling a reasonable rationale for establishing this threshold...?

Nope. Completely ignored people who pointed it out.

I think that was Wyshynski. Dom just plugs numbers into a machine and watches it go brrrr

Was it? I honestly don't remember. They're both pretty transparent and I get them mixed up.

Greg Wysh makes sense. He’s a Devils fan. He cutoff Quick’s insane playoffs in the graphic because it finished off the Devils. He’s a pundit, not a journalist, he picks sides.

 

[unicornpig]

pretty stupid as those players vouched for him to be traded there lol

“Guys were going into Doug’s office all year long,” according to one source, “saying Kane had to go. … All Doug would say is, ‘All teams have locker-room issues,’ which just isn’t true. Not the teams that win, anyway.”

lmao

Who said that? Wanting to stay away from Eichel because he's broken is independent of trusting the Sabres or not.

Sabres fans. I believe he's having these neck problems BECAUSE the Sabres mismanaged his treatment, they disagree. We're talking about 2 different things though.

Ah gotcha. Yeah it's unfortunate that he's where he's at now but regardless if you believe Buffalo or you believe Eichel, at the end of the day the dude is getting some kind of neck surgery. Not sure anyone is lining up to trade for that.

The Sharks situation sounds sad.....sucks for them! The only thing they have to look forward towards is Eklund.

They still have the best GM in the history of San Jose hockey. Oh, wait.

Along that same note, Yannetti now feels like the restraints are taken off. He was able to execute his plan last draft to a T. It's like he felt liberated on being able to move up on numerous targeted picks and go the quality vs quantity route.

Talk about a new love for your job... dude's sex life probably increased tenfold.

It was very clear he was saying that Blake is great to work for. Gives leadership, but trusts his team of people.

 

[Sleeping Dog]

I guess he doesn’t want to win a Cup.

 

[King'sPawn]

He has a better chance in Florida than Toronto.

 

[unicornpig]

you mean florida doesnt want to win a cup cause singing him ensures they wont.

Don't see the benefit...he's useless except taking up space in penalty box

 

[YP44]

Gonna have to watch a lot of the Panteros this year.

Thornton looking to complete his transformation into the Swamp Thing.

 

[KINGS17]

Joe Thornton...a man who just doesn't know when to stop.

 

[Gjwrams]

Joe Thornton...a man who just doesn't know when to stop.

Man if someone is willing to scratch you a check to do something you love....why stop?

 

[KingsFan7824]

Joe Thornton...a man who just doesn't know when to stop.

Not like he's signing with the Coyotes just to keep playing. A legit team is willing to give him another crack at winning.

I sent a text to a buddy, telling him "Father Time" signed another one year deal. His response to me was, " How does it feel to know 'Father Time' was a sophomore when you were a senior in HS." I said damn old, lol
