July 24, 20177 yr comment_278617 Nice deal for him for the team, IMO. See how this upcoming season goes and take it from there. Quote Hellebuyck posted a 26-19-4 record last season with a 2.89 goals against average and a .907 save percentage. Hellebuyck led all goaltenders under the age of 24 with 56 appearances last season and posted four shutouts. He played his best hockey within the Central Division, posting a 12-3-1 record with a .937 save percentage and a 2.09 goals against average. The potential is there and he was lights out within the division.

July 25, 20177 yr comment_278782 The Buffalo Sabres have avoided arbitration with Robin Lehner, reaching a one-year contract with the goaltender. Lehner posted a 23-26-8 record last season with a .920 save percentage and a 2.68 goals against average. The 26-year-old was scheduled to go to arbitration with the Sabres on Thursday.

I'd never heard of this Sochi Open before & mistakenly assumed it was strictly a pre-Oly tournament. Tournament website just lists our entry as "the national team of Canada" http://xn----8sbwaafbgebmvqgqj.xn--p1ai/388-sochi-hockey-open-2017-v-sochi.html

August 3, 20177 yr comment_280846 Always thought the guy was super overrated, but that's just me. I have a natural aversion to super bible-thumping people...
August 3, 20177 yr comment_280871 Jack Eichel is looking for an 8-year deal with the Sabres. That's an interesting case. He is only 20 so that is usually bridge deal territory. His numbers have been good, but not groin-grabbingly good. How do you balance the team wanting a reasonable deal, with the agent and player almost certainly wanting top-5 centre money on an 8 year deal? Eichel will probably be a point-per-game guy but it's not guaranteed and he hasn't been that yet...
August 3, 20177 yr comment_280892 they keep trying to compare Eichel to McJesus, and I'm all "Why......?"

Let him prove he deserves top 5 money.

Well, I think the Sabres are looking at it like a Scheifele situation. Where you sign a guy long-term before he has proven himself. But that would be incumbent upon the Eichel camp accepting such a deal. And I don't know why they would.

August 3, 20177 yr comment_280951 If Sabres can get Eichel for $6 mill for 8 seasons... take it in a heartbeat.

Because I don't think Eichel would take 6.

So on another team - no I wouldn't offer that - on the Sabres... I'd probably give him $8 for 8 - they're pretty sparse after Eichel

He'll get paid for sure...but won't be anywhere near McJesus, as it shouldn't be...

August 4, 20177 yr comment_281044 oh right I forgot he was a senator I'll fix that (hey I watched that cup final too I just didn't have players names memorized) in fact I didn't even know who he was until I heard he was marrying Carrie Underwear er Underwood and then he got traded to Nashville Edited August 4, 20177 yr by iHeart
