So because the Blues were stupid, we should follow suit?

Play him at home his first game back, we have a bigger medical staff there.

Co-GM more likely, for now.

I have not been to the MMA in over 15 years. It was finished in 1996 and is now 29 years old. The Aud was used for 56 years. What are people on Buffalo saying now about KeyBank Arena. Surely it’s not time to rebuild a new one. Would renovations bring it into the 21st century?

They could have been in the playoffs each of the last 15 seasons if they won their games.

I thought everyone knew Jarmo Kekalainen was advising the Sabres? There are multiple reports that Jarmo and Kevyn have been scouting games, and other scouts and the occasional GM come to Sabres games. Could be nothing, could be something.

Norris entering the building.

Does anyone remember what the value of the Sabres was compared to what Pegula paid for it?

I remember a few years ago when the watch word from management was how fast the new guys, like Malenstyn were. How did that work out? Speed is great, but speed without skill isn't all that helpful.

You would trade all that just to see Hughes walk in a year ? he's been quite open to wanting to play with his brothers in NJ

What a joke. If I knew missing the playoffs would be the end of Beane and McDermott I would sign up for it. As a Sabres fan, I know they are here for awhile still

The Bills signed Brandin Cooks.

He will be on our top six. So if he plays up to his intended role, his salary will not be considered to be out of line.

Reading stuff on twitter about Tuch's wife being from BC. That could be a thing. Byram is another name they apparently like. Quinn for Power as the primaries? That would interest me depending on details. My dream, Quinn Hughes, Petersson and Garland for Quinn, Norris, Power. Tuch (and whatever picks/prospects make that happen). I'd like to keep Tuch, but I don't want to pay him 8 years at 11.5 as rumored and I don't want him gone for nothing. Quinn, Power and Norris are all players who disappoint me regularly in one way or another so any of them can go and I'd welcome it. If it's me I'm bumping Krebs out of the line up. Norris is 2C, McLeod goes back to 3C and Kozak stays on the grind line. When Kulich comes back something else will have to give.

Ellis, whom you acquired for nothing.

Except Norris doesn't have a broken bone, he has a bum shoulder and now (possibly) a groin injury (or something similar since it's mid body off a face off). One good hit into the boards and that shoulder is gone.

Excuse me, but it's not an "exotic notion". He has an 8 million cap hit until 2030. You trade for that you obviously have him pegged in to be part of your top 6 core.

you are confused. You would have to sell the asset to realize the gain.

Greenway should go on IR till he can play every game. He is our worst player.

Well that is 180 degrees from what Ruff said he plans on doing next week when Norris shows back up; but we shall see.

I guess we are going to disagree on that. Is it a dump compared to the Aud at the end of its days? or the Boston Garden? Or MSG before the latest renovation? No its not that bad. But compared to a few other places I have been to, yeah, its a dump. Uncomfortable, worn out seats (when I sat down in our set, the seat 'wobbled a bit as did the seats to the left and right of me, and I'm not a huge guy either), pitted concrete, bathrooms with either no hot or no cold water (someone told me this MIGHT have been fixed since last time I was there?) Crowded concourses, no convenient place to meet and talk to friends that might be at the same game you are...going up to the higher levels on a game close to a sellout and waiting on that escalator...among other things. The Bathrooms always seem dirty and disgusting. Yeah, I know this is an arena with 15,000+ people at most games, they are going to get dirty, but the last game I was at out of town in Columbus, the ones there seemed to be 100x better. Yeah, for simply watching the game on the ice, once you are in your set, its ok. But I can do that at home. I actually look forward to going to other arenas around the country not just for the event, but for the arena, the things to see there, places to meet up. The last time I was at the KBC for a game, I was there for the game only, in spite of the building.

Why you shouting at this kid? Talk to Chz or Scott about it if you have issues.

And then we draft one and we’re all screwed. Thank god the team avoided Pommenstein when he was draft eligible in 2021.

And to an extent, the acting GM.

I bet 99.999999% of the Rosen references on this site are to Isak Rosén. DOOO EEEET!
