Gollum refers to himself as “we” because the Ring (or his Gollum persona) would not allow Sméagol to think for himself. Gandalf says Gollum both loves and hates himself, and the Ring truly was a curse on Sméagol's life making him hate everything he had become.

Agreed.

Clayton Keller is my idea for this summer.

Why:

He is 25 (perfect age for the core)
Top 6 forward / upgrade
Cap hit of 7 mill for 4 more years

Last 3 years:

63 points
86 points
76 points

Vs crouse ( the best forward ever)

42 points

Think Kadri would ever waive? He'll be a flame for at least 2 more seasons.

Domi is just a trolll. Anyway, I think that comment reflected more poorly on the crowd in Toronto. Unintentionally ragged on his home fans
- Ratsreign


That is the other side of the coin and maybe right. I took offense too though lol.

Give Domi some Term if he doesn't stay in TO. Should cost less than 5 million. Playmaker with Grit on the 3rd line to play with Skinner.

People want a Bottom 6 forward, and you are dealing from a Strength. And Adams can say what he wants about Samuelsson. Until he can stay Healthy he doesn't do enough.
- Buff36


Dealing Samuelsson is not dealing from strength.

And your opinion is vastly different from his, despite the reality of him not being able to stay healthy

Why is it not dealing from strength. Sabres have a Plethora of LD. And I know my opinion is different. I like Samuelsson, but he can't stay Healthy, atleast he hasn't to this point.

Will you please compare Ryan Reaves playoff stats vs Tage Thompsons playoff stats?

I'm eager to learn who is better.

I can all but guarantee Keller won’t be traded and if he is, it will be to Pittsburgh.

Everyone sleeping on PGH but they can and should trade Letang, Malkin, Rust and Bunting and they need to decide on Karlsson, too.

Crosby will retire there and if they rebuild, he will do what Mario did. If they can retool, they at least keep Karlsson and Crosby to make one last run but I cannot see them running it back.

Washington, too.

I expressed my interest in Noah Cates several times, and 36 brought him up again.

I wanted to spell out a few "bottom 6" forward trades. The quotes represent my opinion as subjective bottom 6 forwards. All trades made around the draft.

Corey Perry for a 7th
Yamamoto and Kostin for free
Josh Bailey and a 2nd for free
Ross Colton for a 2nd
Luke Kunin for a B- prospect and a 3rd

About all the recent history there is. If you want to include TDL...

Connor Dewar for a C prospect and a 4th
Jack Roslovic for a 4th
Patrick Maroon for a C prospect and a 6th
Jason Zucker for a 6th
Kyle Okposo for a C prospect and a 7th
Jordan Greenway for a 2, 5

List goes on. There's a lot of variables in the returns, but the one thing that stands out is, there's never a 1st involved. Or a great prospect. Or even a good one.

I will add that Noah Cates is probably one of, if not the best bottom 6 player of that entire list.

Not the LD part. It's the playstyle part that is in short supply. And Kevyn has repeatedly stated he wants more.

in the interest of curiosity, why do you have such disdain for a quality middle 6 power forward?

I just brought it up cause he's young, fits a Need and we are getting a 3rd back. Maybe Samuelsson is a overpay but the kid had 38pts 2 years ago so he has some hands.

I understand what you are thinking, the bad part is when he brings that side out he gets hurt.
