How is it not? There are five guys skating around trying to block your shots, knock you off the puck, or take your head off. You have to shoot hard enough to get it past a guy taking up 3/4 of the net and are more agile then ever, so being accurate is just as important as shooting hard. A quick look at even if it’s one v one (shootouts) show goalies save more than they let in. That would indicate it’s harder to score than save it even if you take out the control of other guys trying to stop you. I respect that being a goalie is the hardest position. But I feel like scoring kid the hardest aspect

I'm killing time before I go to work, and it's not that I don't want criticism, it's just that this is being critiqued way too seriously. this is all hypothetical

Do you actually have the 3-mil retained factored into the cap? I don't see it? Unless I'm missing something?

I didn't know how to actually put it in, I'm new to this website.

They’re all hypothetical. You’ve responded just as much as I have. I don’t think I’m being too serious, pointed out flaws in your proposal, and you didn’t want to hear them and just repeated yourself.

Roger! If you didn't then TML is over the cap and the deal doesn't work anyways.

You're defending this trade?

It's bad for Sabres

Yes, The Sabres want a 32 year old Tavares making 10M for a 26 year old Thompson making 7M, come on man.....

Didn't you see that part where toronto retains 3 million of Tavares' salary?

They do if the value is there, the sabres have been looking for a veteran who can lead the team with his words and with his ability to play the game. Tavares being of course that veteran leader can still put up 25-35 goals per year and he has better defensive numbers than Tage.

Didn't you see that part where toronto retains 3 million of Tavares' salary?

The “value” will NEVER BE THERE
Because Tavares is turning 33 before the season starts
And Thompson is 25

There is ZERO CHANCE that any trade like this would happen
Thompson is basically untouchable
And we don’t want Tavares- u guys are stuck with him, enjoy

You say we like you actually run the team. You're just like me.
