Kreuger getting Eichel to elevate his game, and seeing the team engaged in games when they were teetering on the brink of mathematical elimination from the playoffs, are the two main reasons I'm okay with Ralph coming back next season. Not thrilled, but not upset either. It is what it is.
But but its an awful deal! But but Jack is not captain material!Can we extend his 8 year deal yet?

but I just don’t want Shea Weber staring at me anymore.
He’s 23 years old, he’s got 337 points in 354 games and, believe me, he gets the toughest assignments every night. Whenever we play Buffalo, he’s the first guy we look to try to nullify. He’s a monster in the offensive end and an absolute pain to play against when you’re trying to score. He can do it all. He’s one of the most complete forwards in the game. And he doesn’t take a shift off. I’ve been watching a lot of the Sabres this year whenever I get the time because of how dominant he is when he’s on the ice. Every time he steps out there he seems like he’s just got another gear over everyone else. To do that night in and night out? That’s impressive.
