If the Sabres were a good playoff team that held the 9th overall by trade/happenstance, yup, go for it. But they are not. He had the back fracture injury, then returned this season only to have a separate lower-body injury which he suffered an additional setback. Norris is already going to miss at least 20 games per season; the Sabres can't afford to have this pick turn into only a "what if". https://rg.org/news/hockey/how-roger-mcqueen-could-be-a-steal-at-the-2025-nhl-draft Personally, I skip him in the first round.

NJ has extra RHDs

Darren Dreger was on Sabres Live and said the message he got was Sabres Front Office will remain status quo

He didn't have an Achilles rupture either. It was cut by a skate. Good news is at 9, he's still another yr in Jr's and an ahl season away at minimum.

I don't even think it was a realistic option ever imo.

My mother-in-law says that anytime you see a cardinal it's some dead relative stopping by. They're the state bird here in NC. The next time she visits, she's going to be so creeped out by the bird feeder I just put in. edit: And shortly after typing this, I look out my window and see 3 of them.

Hate doesn’t need a reason, especially in sports.

I can't believe anyone drinks any Bud beer product. It's only good for drowning slugs in your garden.

And these studies probably don't even apply to Bear. They're based on adult NHL players and we're talking about an injury in a still growing teenager. He's outside of the scope of that work.

Bud Light got hosed in Bud Bowl II. Budweiser fumbled the snap forward into the end zone as time expired and then recovered it for a game-winning TD. The Holy Roller rule in 1979 would've called that an incomplete pass in as would have applied in the 1989-1990 seasons when the game was produced, and today it could have been recovered, but not advanced beyond the spot of the fumble itself. Bud Light won that game. Am I the only one who gives a #### about the rules?

Jakob lol, Jeff was his Dad

A real good example would be Jeff Chychrun. He was behind Chabot and Sanderson in Ottawa, got traded to the Caps and nearly doubled his salary by scoring 20 goals in a higher role.

Meanwhile what is this lunacy in NJ? Standards, not accepting failure. Are you allowed to do that with an NHL team.😝

He’s a restricted free agent now. And there’s a much better chance he can get the type of contract he wants elsewhere on a team lacking a defenceman as talented as he is. He gets traded to, say, Calgary who desperately needs his type of defenceman. They offer him 7 years at 7.5M using the same logic the Canucks used with Hughes, and the Sabres with Power: that he’ll make it worth their while over the term of the contract because he is going to be used like a #1 D-man and they believe he’ll thrive in that role. Or he inks a 1-year $5M deal in the hopes he earns a 7-year $9M contract by putting up 60 points next year because he believes he’ll get used like a #1 dMan and will thrive in that role.

I understand what you're saying but how's he going to get that opportunity? The only way I see it, is if he plays the final year of his contract and signs a one year deal somewhere where a team will allow him PP time to get these coveted points. That's not likely. Wanting a trade from the Sabres isn't going to do it either. They'll have to give up a good player to get him and they'll want a commitment to sign an extension shortly after the trade. Which will be based on his current point status. Maybe I'm missing something.

Overall I like it. The dark one with the logo is better. The logo's good and well designed. The name meh, could be worse. Now that they are the Mammoth I want Liam O'Brien nicknamed "Wooly" for their marketing.

I don't think SJ would. If Chicago thinks Misa is really good, I could see it. They'd have to jump sj at minimum.

People can have more than one residence. Lots of players live elsewhere in the off season. I'm sure Dudley had a condo or rented a place down there. You need to find out where his primary residence is for how he handles tax laws 🙂 I couldn't care less where Staal lives, what Staal says or what he does or doesn't do. It's just like Terry told Kevyn to hire an advisor and Kevyn thought who are my friends? Oh I know Eric is out of work he'll do it. We can lunch together on the company tab. Clown show.

Phil Housley - VP of It’s Okay to be a Wuss

That still hurts!

Terry Pegula for Owner.

We have an assist. GM who lives in Pittsburgh. And the same non-residence applies to many of our scouts. So what's the big deal about him not residing here.

Taro Tsujimoto as the Director of Playoff Chances.

Zhitnik for shooting accuracy and Schmelik for zone clearing. We could do this all day 😉
